Feb 22, 2008 22 oz bottle. Slightly hazy orange pour with a nice head. Aromas were sweet hoppy citrus. Flavors moved more to the green and floral, pine like side of the hops. Still some citrus in there though. Very fresh flavor in the hop profile. Very tasty IPA.

Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Courtesy of fordest. 650 ml bottle shared with fordest and padrefan. Poured a copper-orange color with a generous white head. The aroma was dominated by sweet citrus and pine. The flavor did not follow the aroma in that the sweetness I picked up in the nose never really materialized in the taste. The taste was very hops forward with grapefruit, oranges, bread and pine. The mouthfeel was medium and complex-- a very satisfying malt quaff. The finish was short and clean with biter hops lingering and then dropping off suddenly. Overall: a superior IPA, I’d drink this every day if I could. Recommended.

Feb 21, 2008 bottle - Pours copper with a one finger white head. It smells of hops (duh) with citrus and a touch of pine. The flavor is intensely hopped with enough malt backbone to keep it from being overpowering. It’s full bodied and very full flavored, especially for a regular IPA. Excellent brew.

Feb 19, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a brilliant mostly clear blood orange with a light, frothy off whit head. Spotty lacing was left on the glass. Big time aromas of pine and citrus. The Simcoe hops are really prevalent in bothearoma and flavor. Great bitter finish.

Feb 17, 2008 Smells very citrusy... big-time grapefruit and oranges. Actually it smells a lot like Hopslam. Pours a deep copper, with a nice head. Taste is kindof tough. It starts off citrusy, but finishes way too harsh. It drops off where Hopslam finishes.Overall, not bad though, and definitely a good IPA.

Feb 16, 2008 Similar to Hopslam, pours a dark red-orange coloration. Slightly hoppy and floral. Good beer but there are better IPAs.
Got so drunk I saw a troll running through some green fields. Oh wait that is just the label.

Feb 14, 2008 Updated: May 9, 2008I think I got this from my 3F hookup mreusch. (Thanks Matt!) Nose is hoppy and pineapple like an IIPA (as I knew it would be!) Color is beautiful copper with a thin halo of an off white head. Flavor is a bit understated, with the nose overwhelming. A bit sweet and bready in the middle, and the finish is dry and just the slightest bit bitter. For an IPA, this is a very good beer. But I have to say, after the aroma, (and from 3F) I expected a bit more flavor. Still nice brew.
