One of my all time favourite hoppy ales. On this trip, 18 months to the last, my memory is still right. Even at 8% it carries the alcohol well, and the hops just keep assaulting the senses. I would love to see a red version of this ale, but that’s just painting a classic a different colour.

Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a dark yellow with a large white head. Aroma is what is would be like to wake up in a grove of fresh hops. Flvor is again a very strong fresh hop with some silky malts. A complete hop juice of a beer and one to seek out. Bonus is that a bottle is fairly cheap for such a outstanding brew at only $3.99!

Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a light golden with small white head. Aroma strong of piney hops. Flavor is dry with pine, sweet malt, and some citrus. It lives up to its name and its a great brew.

Oct 15, 2008 This one was a truly intriguing beer. Served cold from a bottle. Dark gold pour with a small white head that leaves good lacing. The aroma was described by someone as a "citrus bouquet", it was definitely rich in pine and citrus hops. It tasted unlike any beer I’ve had, very complex and refined. Flavor was heavily hoppy with some malts to balance it out, but the finish is nice and bitter. Very cool beer. Highly recommended.

Oct 14, 2008 Tap @ RR. Clear golden color, short head. Strong aroma of pine and grapefruit. Very bitter taste, but still elegantly smooth. Perfect balance for such a smack-in-the-face doube IPA.

Oct 13, 2008 Pours a less-than-appetizing straw-colored yellow with a quickly receding head.
Smells delicious, like straight-up hop flowers. Could use a tiny bit more
carbonation, but otherwise, I have nothing but praise for this beer. I would
drink this every day if I could.
