zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA Jul 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 26, 2008Taste 7/8, bottle(date incomprehensible/smeared ink) Looks: Very thick head atop a golden torso. Aroma: 1st hops-citrus/soap, 2nd caramel chewiness. Taste: Foamy goodness of the head adds a little texture to a thick bodied IIPA. Nice malt ratio/recipe- keeps from astringent/soapy affair. Nice. Thick foam hangs on to the glass like a mountain climber. Well done! Never tasted the alcohol. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 10, 2008 Nose is a hopbomb. Grassy nose with some tangerine notes. Quite a foamy pour. Flavour is orange and grapefruit on top of caramel. Bitterly dry on the finish. daknole (2802), Plantation, Florida, USA Jul 4, 2008 Nice beer, I had on tap at Mellow Mushroom. Very hoppy aroma but the beer itself is malty and full flavored with some great hop flavor. If you are looking for a big and bitter hop bomb, this isnt it. If you are looking for a well crafted beer, this is it. Beerman6686 (1263), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours cloudy orange with an off white head. Aroma is extremely hoppy and somewhat fruity. Flavor is actually somewhat malty but with a long bitter finish which hides the ABV very well. Good Stuff aoa56 (18), zeeland, Michigan, USA Jun 30, 2008 Pours a dark gold with a thin white head. A refreshing hoppy nose and a smooth bitter finish, with carmel malt undertones throughout. Can hardly taste the alcohol, or maybe it’s just getting the better of me. Very smooth and easy drinking. blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange with a beige head. Citric aroma with peach, perfume, and caramel. Medium body. Hoppy flavor with citric and perfumy notes, as well as a bit of caramel. Alcohol is noticeable but not overwhelming. checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 25, 2008 Draft: Poured a golden amber color with a nice white head. The aroma was hops, flowers and some spice. The flavor was strong hops and a bitter taste. Overall, a decent brew that was easy to drink. closey22 (31), Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, USA Jun 23, 2008 Slightly cloudy, golden orange/amber, w/ lasting, big bubbled off-white head. Excellent aroma; soft flowery hops blended evenly w/ sugary malt sweetness(maple syrupy). Superb flavor is a delicious blend of dry, bitter, floral hops and fresh grain/malt with a hint of alcohol. Feel is thick but crisp with soft foam in mouth. Finishes bitter and long.
