Bottle shared from Eben. Thanks for sharing this amazing brew. This was like
someone had taken honey from bees used to cross pollenate a Golden Kiwi orchard and extracted to honey from it and used it to make an ass kicking IIPA. I an at a loss on this one. It was sooo de-lish. rating to style. I am not sure what I rated Dreadnaught but this is my Fav IIPA. Truly amazing.

Aug 30, 2008 RBSG 2008. Big hop bomb, but one of those that is done right. Loads of floral hop flavor, the bitterness is there, but restrained. Tangerine flavors blend with the chewy caramel base, finishing with resiny grapefruit. Very well put together.

Aug 7, 2008 RBSG ’08. Sampled from a growler that AgentSteve was carrying around towards the end of the evening. Some carbonation with a small bit of white lacing. Deep amber color. Huge aroma of pine tree and hop resin with loads of caramel malt. Very malty base with sappy grapefruit spice in the flavor. Huge body on this one, you can really bite into it. Nearly endless bitter and spicy hops finish. Apparently it was a few months old; I’ll bet its epic when tasted fresh. Thanks to AgentSteve for pouring me a glass of this!

Aug 6, 2008 Thanks to aspidites for this - although someone else poured it. Hazy brown with a lacing tan head. Aroma is caramel and dense pinewood hoppy with a minor note of grapefruit. Flavour is dense hoppy and thick malty - sweet, solid brew. Very flavourful indeed. Grapefruity and solid bitter into the finish. Fantastic flavour.

Aug 4, 2008 Shared at the Grand Tasting, RBSG. Was it just me or does Uberhoppy have a serious malt backbone, don’t get me wrong it had some nice hoppy bitterness, but very sweet and creamy.

Aug 3, 2008 From a bottle shared at the Grand Tasting during RBSG 2008. Mild hops with a very nice malty creaminess to it. I was really bummed to find out this was the only bottle. It was a great treat to try it.
