Semi-cloudy yellowish-gold with a huge amount of hops in the aroma accompanied by grapefruit, pine needles, and light rubber. Super, bold in your face bitterness. Not as sweet as most 2IPA’s. Extremely enjoyable.

Poured from a botlle I traded for. Pours a light amber. Beautiful floral nose balanced with a creamy vanilla. Taste, supper hoppy - palate wreker for sure! Another beatiful offering from FFF
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 writerljberg (222) - Oregon, USA - MAY 11, 2013
On tap at Apex for Gigantic Beer Week
A: Golden color with a semi-opaque look. Fluffy white head.
N: Pineapple, mango, pine, and caramel. Pretty solid nose for hops but it’s not terribly complex either.
T: Fairly sweet once again. Lots of dried pineapple and some pine, but there’s no mid-level to this. Biscuit and a slight bitterness. Better balance to this, but it’s missing a certain...special..something.
M: Dry and medium-heavy. Sticks to the palate without destroying it.
O: A good beer I’d drink again, but it’s not outstanding in its style.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 BeerFlavoredBeer (224) - New Hampshire, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Big thanks to Brigadier for sending this my way. Pine, lemon, and pear aromas. Lots of pine resin up front into a nice malt sweetness and some fresh grass. Finish is a good length with smooth, dry bitterness to it. The foam on this beer reminds me of that expansive foam insulation stuff, consistency-wise. It’s not going anywhere, anytime soon, and sits in the glass and taunts you to pour a refill.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 ryanscourt (268) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 9, 2013
Excellent nose. Lots of fruit, carbonation and hops. Alcohol seems almost absent. Tons of flavor and nice body. Citrus flavors fall short in the after taste and there is just a short bitterness. Piney hops take a little control at the end. Well done, not my favorite hop selection. Like the dry hopping and aroma but the the aftertaste hop selection isnt my favorite like some of the top dipas.

Draught @ Mikkeller and friends. Pours orange with a big white head. Notes of toasted pinapple, multivitamin juice, lots of grapefruit and grapes. Bitter aftertaste with a touch of warming alcohol.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 VsXsV (1212) - Linköping, SWEDEN - MAY 8, 2013
Draught at Mikkeller & Friends. Hazy amber liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, mango, tangerine, pine, biscuit, floral hops and grass. Taste is dry to light sweet and medium to high bitter with notes of citrus, mango and tangerine. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Really nice, wouldn’t expect anything else from a FFF DIPA.
