4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: AUG 19, 2011 This is my 3rd time rating this. Pours a deeper orange and bright clear with a pillow like head. When it fades it leaves a distinct looking pattern of bubbles which seems to be unique to this beer. Nose is evident centennial but not really as intense as it could be. There is an abundance of fermentation esters in this beer which really makes it stand out. Has a big hop and ester flavor profile with elements of slight biscuity malts and not really any caramel but some bread character. Light body and pretty dry. Medium bitterness for the style. Wonderful beer.

Great beer. Full of flavor, nice bite. A great combination of bitter, sweet and hoppy. Definite must try.

Wow. It doesn’t get much better than this. I’ve waited a long time to rate this, usually stick to rating the beers from outside my availability.. Going to rate this super high quality local though Drinking this reminds me of all the fun times I’ve had with friends while drinking this beer over the years. Nose is so pungent. Mango, floral, sweet pineapple aroma. Appears a nice burnt orange color. the taste is just the ultimate balance and the most tasty flavors of hops ever. It finishes so F’ing smooth its not even funny. This is dominant and invigorating on the taste buds.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2011 Good looking hazy orange. Heavy aroma of hops. pine, grapefruit. The hops stand out as served by the good carbonation. Surprisingly easy drink, making it a recipe for loads of flavour. Highly recommended to see how a great tasting, hop loaded beer can be smooth still. (On tab at The Top.)

Great golden color with slight head, freshly brewed aroma, moderate to heavy hop sensation and pleasant floral notes.

Among the best IPA’s I’ve had. Very well balanced, not too hoppy. This is a beer that both hop-heads, and non hop-heads can enjoy.

An insanely good beer. Very strong floral nose with a rich mildly malty taste. Wonderful.
