Pours a cloudy amber with a nice white head. The aroma was extremely hoppy with an underlying sweetness and a touch of citrus. The taste was hoppy and sweet with more hops following. Palate was thick and quite enjoyable. gunhaver (1024), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle. Pours a straw yellow color, with a clear watery head. Spotty lacing. Big hop aroma, with honey and cinnamon. Some licorice, too. Very floral overall. Hops infused with a maltiness hits strong, with a creamy tang reminiscent of vanilla and ginger. Some grapefruit too. Bitter mouthfeel, smooth and drinkable. Naven (864), Poway, California, USA Apr 19, 2008 22 oz bottle. Dark golden/amber color. Flavor is pure octane alcohol. Light hop flavor. Rich, syrupy, thick body. Tough to drink. Really surprised how poor this is. Not good. jackson220 (136), new lenox, Illinois, USA Apr 19, 2008 22 oz bomber shared by Rayboy. Light amber/orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet citrus, light notes of pineapple as well as lightly malty. Taste is sweet citrus, notes of mango like fruit, with a moderate bitterness. Nice IPA. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 16, 2008 Pour id nice lively golden with a sticky off white head...smell is sweet with tons of sweet citrus grapefruit...definitely smells like a hop bomb...taste is syrupy sweet at first wit a strong hoppy bitterness coming in thereafter...really disappointing...very out of balance... RAYBOY01 (1813), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 15, 2008 Pours a pretty pale golden yellow and sports a lingering white head that exudes a pretty robust pine and citrus hop aroma. The flavors are likewise hop skewed...but there is, as it warms a bit, a moderate caramel/toffee maltiness that swoops in to save the day. Big hop profile is the lingering aftertaste, but I’’l be damned if I can identify which ones or where they come from! Great beer from a brewery that continues to please and amaze. mrant (330), New York, USA Apr 13, 2008 Smells of sour floral hops, very fresh and pleasing. Pours a hazy light copper color with a small white head. Taste is strong sour and bitter hops with a nice malt presence. The alcohol is there but not overpowering. Very nice
