imdownthepub (5087), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Mar 18, 2009 Bottle conditioned, 350ml from Abbey Stores, Salisbury, Wilts. Hazed amber brown with slight head. The overall experience seems to be a type of experimental beer, there are most definitely hops in abundance, but the levels made this not a beer to enjoy but a beer to educate. Drying and bitter, so whilst it is worth seeing what bagfuls of hops can do I’m not sure I would return. SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Mar 16, 2009 Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a creamy off white head. Aroma is light citrus and hops. Taste is mild bitter hops with citrus and malt. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland Mar 14, 2009 (Bottle at Olutkellari Helsinki on 2009-03-13) Amber and hazy. Dense white head. Strong grassy hops aroma with some sweetness and malts. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Lot of hops, grass, some malts, bitterness and sweetness in taste. Malty and bitter aftertaste. War4soccer (115), , Nevada, USA Mar 8, 2009 really a nice hoppy experience...fun beer..bottle winter 2008..amber with white head.. nice throughout! Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2009 Incredibly hoppy. The taste lingers much longer than it should. Hops on both the nose and taste. j12601 (1149), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Mar 7, 2009 Bottle, 2008 version. Pours an almost hazy tawny amber with a sizeable white head. Roasted malt, toast, subtle citrus hops. Medium body, slight malty sweetness. Spicy hop finish with good grapefruit notes. tdcritch (112), Missouri, USA Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber color with a two finger white head. Smells kind of citrus. Tastes of hops and bitter. A good IPA for the season. zapprentice (309), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 3, 2009 Another good buy from Sierra Nevada. Crisp, full of flavor. Great for having with a few buddies who aren’t into craft.
