Nov 18, 2008 On draft, in Philly, Monk’s Corner. This beer is phenomenal! And I thought you could get anything in NYC, wrong—I wish California had better distribution. I’ll use one word: GRAPEFRUIT! Not a 5, but very close...I’ve got to hunt this one down...

Nov 18, 2008 My first 5.0 rating! Comes from an incredible brew that I’ve heard so much praise from and it certainly holds value. Bottle... Poured orange with a thin, bubbly, white head. Nothing but floral hops on the nose that were intense and vibrant. Dry palate, but the higher alcohol kept it lively feeling on the tongue. Citrus fruit flavors mixed with overpowering hops. This beer is a must have for any IPA and IIPA fan.

Nov 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 19, 2008Many thanks to BlackForestCO for the hook up. Pours orange with light yellow hues, great effervescence and a small, rimming white head. Big citrusy, resiny, hop nose, bubblegum, lemon, grapefruit. Tate of light caramel background with lots of hop flavor and bitterness, citrus, lemon, grapefruit and resin. Dry finish and mouth feel is slightly lacking. Absolutely freakin’ amazing.

Nov 17, 2008 From bottle courtesy of dpjuart. Super hops aroma. Fresh and juicy and fruity. Apricot and grapefruit and pine. Outstanding aroma. Amber gold body with haze and a thin white lacing head. Medium-heavy watery body, not quite chewy, with medium carbonation. Awesome flavor with pine and grapefruit. Sweet pilsner malt, turbinado sugar and caramel. Finishes really bitter with juicy hops and mild sweet acidity. Dry after bitterness and watery hoppy notes. Nice beer.

Nov 15, 2008 Great honey hop aroma. Decidedly unbalanced hop. Punched me in the face. Lightly syruppy. Just didn’t think this lived up to the hype. Not well balanced.

Nov 2, 2008 Updated: Feb 13, 2009Crushed with TheDude. Golden pour with light, white head. Aroma is floral, citrusy, piney: tons of hops. Flavor is very hoppy, yet not just overly bitter, there’s a wide range in the flavor profile. Maybe a bit of bitter herbs in the end. This is about as awesome as it gets.

Nov 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 10, 2009Crushed with Honkeybra. Hops. No shit. Great combination of hops. Oh yeah. And I have something to say about the hop presence in the flavor: yum. A surplus of flavor and aroma hops without an incredible bitter presence. Great grab, Honkey.
