Apr 12, 2009 Awesome as expected. Hazy pour. Aroma bursting with grapefruit. Taste full of citrus hops. Malt comes in but is overpowered. The only problem is a little off lingering bitterness.

Apr 12, 2009 from crackedkettle.com - quite clear blond-bronze colour with a little white foam; very hoppy aroma, resiney, pine needles, cheese and grapefruit; good malt body, clean palate, very bitter and a long lasting fruity bitterness, very robust but never aggressive, more lingering resiney notes - a superb beer

Apr 12, 2009 There will always be a special place in my heart for this beer, as it’s the one that intruduced me to really good craft beer. After several hundred others, this one still stands up as one of my favorites. It has a one of a kind floral, foresty, citric nose with an amazing, frothy off white head. The flavor is very sophisticated with sweet jasmine, melon, and grapefruit. The sweet fruit flavors balance out the florals pretty admirably, but eventually you give in to the massive pine bitterness. I love that. This is comparitivley not as sweet as most other IIPA’s I’ve tried. A world classic, that everone needs to try.

Apr 12, 2009 Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is lots of fruity hops, some wood, alcohol and also mild herbal notes. Flavour is hops (peachy, tropical fruity and grassy bittery), with also some alcohol and mildly caramelly notes.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden orange color, lingering foamy head, lots of sediment. This is a big beer. Full bodied caramel and golden malt, followed by a smooth mellow wallop of those fine West Coast hops. Oh, and bubblegum. This beer has it in spades. Gotta love that. The thing that stands out here is the overall smoothness of the overall product. Very well balanced overall and a fine drinking experience. Well done.

Apr 10, 2009 0,5lt Bottle (1 month old). Hazy golden color with a medium foamy white head. An amazingly intense aroma of hops, pine, flowers, citrus and grapefruit among others. Flavor of malts mostly, citric fruit, very hoppy and bitter yet very balanced. Finishes very bitter and dry. Loved it (and I would like to try it on tap even more) !!

Apr 10, 2009 Pours a very hazy lemon golden yellow with thick white head. Aroma is very citrusy blended with the hop flavors of pine and spice. Flavor is definite pink grapefruit mixed with pine undertones. It’s like I’m surrounded by evergreens. Body is creamy with high carbonation. Great great beer.
