darkguardian (506), Florida, USA Aug 19, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to Ryan at Funky Buddha. Pours a mostly clear amber. Grassy hops with a bit of citrus on the nose, no real malt on the nose. Flavor is super grassy with some hay like malt and hops popping about. Tasty but nothing great. Solid Imperial Pale Ale. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Aug 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden orange with an off white head. Hoppy with a grassy floral character and a pine y grapefruit body. Sweeter malty notes with a mild warming. Great. Aggy360 (115), Anchorage/ Vista,CA, Alaska, USA Aug 1, 2009 Pours a hazy goldern orange with a tight white head. This leave some good lace in the glass. A strong citrus aroma with some slight pear ester notes. Highly carbonated and it brings out some of the bitter characteristics. Some spice and wheat notes. The finish is bitter sweet and yeasty. There are pleanty of hops in this brew and they are spread out very nicely. A really good beer, interesting and hoppy, I like it. mcmd (132), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 30, 2009 Bomber into a snifter. Pours an almost clear golden yellow/orange with minimal white head.
