4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20On tap at the Drafting Room, Exton. Wow, I’ve been waiting to try this one for a long time. The Troeg’s 10th anniversary was an elite beer, and so is this one. Dark straw colored with a big white head. Aromas of big hops, floral fruity esters, and spicy ground black pepper. Tastes hoppy, very fruity and floral, with a nice blast of honey and black pepper at the finish. Extremely complex and well balanced. There are nuances of the Troeg’s hopback amber, sunshine pils, 10th anniv, and even lad elf in this one. Just fabulous. Get ya some, and get some for your mother too.

Aroma of pine cone, spruce, and thick citrus. Pours a nice red amber with a puffy white head. Taste of thick hops bursting in your mouth- lemon/lime zest, pine resin, and freshness. Top notch ipa.

One of the great beers of summer.
This is the beer that started my love of the Troeggs brewing company. I have also had it in a growler and it's exceptional.

Pours a deep amber color with a finger-width head that lingers. Hoppy and floral aromas. Very hoppy, biting taste. Delicious.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2013 Pine and grapefruit bite with a solid mat backbone. Mouth watering bitterness but not overwhelming.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours slightly hazy and amber in color with medium off white head. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Taste follows suit with grapefruit and citrus hops forward. Malt has a nice body and balances hops nicely. Excellent mouthfeel, but not too syrupy.

Ar: Orange pith, pineapple, pine, some toasty caramel.
Ap: Clear orange-amber - large off-white head with good retention, and a thick trail of clingy lacing.
T: Medium-sweet caramel mixes with orange and pine up front - clean yeast profile, with lots of resinous hops - high bitterness, very smooth - some toasted caramel, lemon, and pine on the finish - solid malt backbone, but does not detract from the hops, but, rather, complements them very well.
P: Medium body with high carbonation - finish is medium-dry.
O: Great showcase of hops, with a very solid and delicious malty backbone - a really great IPA.
