aaronbr (49), Palo Alto, California, USA Oct 20, 2009 This is a great beer. Super hoppy. The bitterness really lingers on the palate. Aroma is phenomenal, grass and hops. Not much wrong at all with it. As far as IPAs go, it doesn’t get much better. stobbe74 (662), Denmark Oct 20, 2009 Bottle, 50cl. Pours a clear golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma has lots of american hops, with citrus and pine. The flavor explodes with complex hops. The palate has a really nice bitterness and overall this is a fantastic and complex beer. #600 Sledutah (24), Utah, USA Oct 18, 2009 Had this for the first time on tap at Stone Brewery in San Diego. Wow, the hype that I heard about before hand was not hype at all. This beer lives up to what everybody says. Great aroma and flavor. Not over the top in either like you see in some DIPA’s.
oakbluff (298), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Oct 18, 2009 500 ml bottle- pours a deep yellow straw with excellent clarity and frothy white head. Nose- intense hop nose of fresh hops- pine, tropical fruit, you name it. Just a blast of hop goodness. Its a hop head’s dream. They should make a cologne that smells like this. Taste- sweet tropical fruit followed by cookie dough and caramel. The hop bitterness shines through in the finish with no trace of astringentness. Body is quite light for the strength of the beer, carbonation is spot on. A true gem. scanovajr (361), Stanford, California, USA Oct 17, 2009 A clear amber beer with a small white head. Fruity hop aroma, piney and citrus notes. Strong malty flavor, notes of caramel and wood. Dry and hoppy end. BNSLY (43), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 15, 2009 oct. 09
bottle. Shared with some friends. pours a orange-yellow color little head. smells great lots of hops. taste was amazing. lots of hops. very smooth. a great ipa. very enjoyable. oOJUXEOo (27), Pennsylvania, USA Oct 14, 2009 Wow. just wow. I had no idea what to expect with this beer, but it was great. Had on tap at Pizzeria Uno in Bensalem. Citrus explosion right off the bat. Smooth as can be. Little to no head, orangey in appearance and taste. Not a fan of Imperial IPAs, but this is totally different. An excellent beer if you have the chance to get it. Wegro (218), Fresno, California, USA Oct 12, 2009 Finally I’m able to try this. I was expecting a lot and i was NOT let down. Huge sweet hoppy aroma, tropical fruit. pours a only slightly cloudy dark yellowish color. sweetness is moderate, very dry. very aromatic, resiny. actually seems like a double IPA for once rather than a big malty bomb with a ton of hops. very complex hops in this one. this is outstanding and really nails it if you ask me
