3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Pours an almost pilsner gold, a bit hazy with a thin white head. Aromas of grapefruit, and pine. Tastes of pine, and biter floral hops, some spruce, and finishes of on a very noticeable and sweet hit of grapefruit. Very good, not as bitter as I thought it would be. A sweet double IPA.

Une robe orange et une petite tête efficace. Un nez houblonné à souhait. Je sens des herbes, du gazon frais, du pamplemousse et de la résine. À travers cette grande fraîcheur, de faibles traces maltées. J’aime. Un goût qui suinte les cultivars et la verdure. Des champs de fleurs, de la résine et des oranges de la Floride qui s’accaparent de ma bouche. Une base maltée presque fantomatique. J’adore. Sur le palais, un corps de moyenne densité. Des bulles rapides et une texture vivante. Une finale qui fait vibrer ma langue et la totalité de ses à-côtés. Très mordante et excessivement éclatante. Facile à aimer.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear deep golden color with a finger of white fluffy head. Aroma of citrus and earthy hops. Tastes of grapefruit, citrus zest, pine, pineapple, and bit of a sweet malt backbone.

Bottle at Crown and Anchor, Brixton. Hazy orange, small bubbles. White head with great lacing. Slightly funky, earthiness on nose but fruit still there. Earthy, grapefruit, not much malt and ending in boozy bitterness. Not too shabby.

Copper color with a big fluffy head. Huge hop aroma. Lots of grass and pine scents. Flavor is not as bitter as the aroma suggests. Easy to drink. Highly enjoyable!

Hoppy (of course) and citrus aroma. Beautiful frothy white head. Golden color on the lighter side. Got a nice hop but light taste, kinda like the smell. Bright floral and herbs taste! The Hop Monster strikes again! I would like to eat this with hops...i mean lunch, like a BLT. mmm.BLT. agaaggghhh.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear copper with two fingers of fine, off-white head. Good retention with some thin sheets of lacing. Aroma is hoppy, resinous, piney, citrus, and fruity/floral. Flavor is piney and bitter up front, citrus, apple, fruity, with a hoppy finish and bitter aftertaste that sticks around. Rather good masking of alcohol. Moderate carbonation, medium-light body, and crisp texture. Overall an enjoyable beer, a fruity, hoppy, relatively strong IPA. Has long been one of my favorites.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2013 I read other reviews of this beer and note that people downrate this beer for lack of malt. There is plenty of malt, at least for me, up front. It quickly gives way to the namesake "hop wallop". Piney, resiny, and a hint of grapefruit, I finished it off, and almost a half hour later I still had the bitterness on my tongue. Not for the novice, but true hopheads should love it. Defintely would buy again, but won’t replace my go to Lagunitas’ Maximus and Brown Shuga
