Taste of Grapefruit hops dominated throughout. Finished surprisingly smooth. Delicious IPA. Jukkabro (2981), Tampere, Finland Oct 28, 2009 Yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Rich aroma with nice pine and grass, some flowers and grape also come up. Medium bodied. Flavor is also strongly piny with lemon also dominating, nice fruits with some pineapple also here. Aftertaste lasts with bitter hops. 09maso3 (69), vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 28, 2009 Foamy white head over a cloudy orange beer. Brilliant hop bouquet. Cascade citrus, spicyness, grapefruit some floral notes as well as earthiness. Intense bitter bite, just enough malt to balance. Grapefruit starts to come through. Medium to light body. This is the IPA pushed as far as it can go without having to up the malt/body. Very, very good. abemorsten (65), Norway Oct 26, 2009 Medium golden/ochre murky pour with a long lasting creamy beige head. Aroma is very hoppy, grapefruit and flowers, but also caramel malt, prune, dates and alcohol. Flavor matches the aroma. It starts off lightly sweet and moderately bitter, but quickly becomes bitter in a heavy way - lasting and lasting with a an alcoholic sting in there as well. Medium to full bodied, syrupy with soft carbonation. A delight even though it was served too cold. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland Oct 25, 2009 (Bottled) Poured orange and hazy. Head was medium sized and white. The aroma was strongly hoppy and also fruity. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The dominant component in the taste was hop flavour. In addtion to that there were malts, fruitiness, pine and bitternes. Hoppiness continued in the long lasting aftertaste. Really good IPA. I had this later from tap but I didn’t rerate it. FishManLA (284), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Oct 24, 2009 On tap at The Barley Oak, Mandeville La. Light amber color with a medium sized but persistent head. Floral aroma. A great one for the hop heads (like me). Very hoppy, bitter, yet clean and crisp. Hoppy finish.
