lumberjack (178), Michigan, USA Sep 3, 2008 12 oz. bottle...Pours a nice golden hue with beautiful creamy white head. Lots of lacing. Nose is grapefruit, grass, and caramel. Palate is a creamy, perfectly-carbonated sensation. Taste is bitter with grapefruity hops dominating. There is a nice malt backbone here, with some caramel and maybe even honey notes being picked up. Man is this stuff good. Sk8tybrd (7), USA does not count Sep 2, 2008 Lovely golden-orange in color. A blast of piney hops and fresh flowers from the galss, at first wave, with citrus and spice notes. A zesty, but balanced on the palate. Orange zest right away fading to a piney, mineraly finish. Creamy and full bodied. A pleasure to sit and sip! I’ll definately have another! sinkr (212), Lusby, Maryland, USA Sep 2, 2008 Bottle->tulip: Pours a large, rocky, white head atop a clody, orange body. Hops are perfume-y with some citrus aftertones. The body is full, texture creamy, carbonation lively, and has a bitter finish. The duration is average and is heavily acidic and bitter. A definite winner in my book! rthbass (27), Vancouver, Washington, USA Sep 2, 2008 In the bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA.
Pours medium yellow with a solid head and good lacing, very clear. Couldn’t get a great feel for the aroma in the environment I was in. Taste is beautiful! Roses for days! Great floral hop taste overall. Very balanced and enjoyable bitterness. Long finish. I REALLY need to have this on tap to expound upon it some more. This could possibly rival my love for Hop Czar. Great beer! WSQ (3), va beach, Virginia, USA does not count Sep 1, 2008 pours easy with little foam, kinda of a dirty copper color. Solid hop flavor but doesn’t nail you with the bitter after taste as some. Damn good. Recommend to all Hop Heads! Lagunitasfan (432), San Diego, California, USA Aug 29, 2008 On tap today at Stone, then bottle tonight. Damn this is a frigging good IPA. Piny/sweet scent, hops hidden away. Not much foam, but great sticky lace. Sweet taste without being icky sweet. Not gooey like some brews. Nice hoppy/bitter finish. Yum yum, gimme some. rayOfBeer (316), El Cerrito, California, USA Aug 29, 2008 Poured from bottle a hazy light orange with a medium sized white head. Aroma is strong with floral-citrusy hops. Flavor is a combination of floral, orange, bitterness with toasted caramel and hops. There is a great balance between sweet and bitter that makes this easy to drink. Overall a great beer. Enjoy. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Aug 28, 2008 Pours a deep, dirty copper colour with a huge creamy white head. Instant smack in the face of hoptopia, pine, hopsicles, a dozen lemons and wood. Hoo boy- better then bitter- pungent, dank and stinky. I loved every second of this beer. It was the well hopped salvation I needed to complete this evening. Nothing I like better then getting smacked around with a big hop filled brew.
