DJMonarch (5966), Northwich, Cheshire, England Aug 28, 2009 On Tap at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 13/10/2008
Some malt aroma. Copper amber coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp hoppy and slightly bitter dry finish. rickgordon (3284), Göteborg, Sweden Aug 27, 2009 Draught at Sorbon, Stockholm.
Clear amber colour with rich, hop-induced foam. Rich grassy, hop aroma and grapefruit peel. I get a dry impression. Flavour is immensely grassy bitter, almost salty after, with a backbone of fruit peel. This got almost too much even for a hop head like myself. Mouthfeel is slick, oily. Medium sweet, big bitterness. Great beer! williamherbert (389), Syracuse, New York, USA Aug 26, 2009 This is seriously one of the best beers I have ever had....
The look is clear copper-orange. Little bubbles shoot up like tiny elevators. Three enormous fingers of fluffy heads. Rings of thick lace like a redwood; ice cream float head on top. It’s got it all.
The hops in the nose are a complex blend of major oily citrus. Sweet flowery perfume, but a tiny, slight resiny pine. Beautiful. Some burnt firewood.
The taste is a bitter perfume; sweet, but with a bite on the back end. Roasted caramel malts are crucial. It’s about the perfect IPA. There is a triumphant triumverate of sweet hops, bitter citrus hops, and roasted malts. [In flavor, it is very similar to Stone Ruination and Flying Dog Double Dog.]
The feel is strangely bubbly and fizzy with a bite on the way down. Though this beer is really bitter, it’s beautifully balanced. A superior Harvest/IPA. Dynamite in a glass. drowland (1337), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 13, 2009 Unique and something everyone should try given the chance. The hops demonstrate a nice balance between hoppy tang/citrus and leafy green bitterness. simoneopazz (46), , Italy Jul 31, 2009 mamma mia che birra!!!,l’ho bevuta ieri dal Mastro,servita alla spina nella sua classica pinta americana.
bellissimo il colore quasi arancio,con la sua schiuma bella bianca e persistente durante tutta la bevuta.
al palato risulta leggermente agrumata e moltissimo "luppolata" direi anche leggermente speziata.
per finire vi dico che è una birra da bere,xchè è veramente ben fatta! SuIIy (1404), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jul 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a bright orange color with a big white foamy head. Nose is piney, dry hops with a biscuity essence. Palate is full and tingly. Flavors of biscuit and grass with the dry piney hop finish TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 26, 2009 Bottle- Enjoyed the wet hop ale, good thick head with a clean copper tinge. Fresh hop and mild citrus notes with a malt smoothness ties it together. Spice and a touch of sweet, a bit of bitterness at the end . Smooth, fresh flavors and really drinkable. ajbitt (45), , Indiana, USA Jul 19, 2009 Aroma: spicy pumpkin, nutmeg. Apperance: transparent, copper, huge head. slight carb. Flavor: spice, long hop palate, Palate: a bit watery, nice lingering hop finish. Overall: ok, neutral watery hop IPA-style. actually nice for a Sierra Nevada
