Pours a golden brown with small head. A lot of citrus and pine in the aroma. Similar taste. One of the best beers I have ever had.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Great IPA, nice citrus flavour, highly recommended, I will be drinking this again. Victory is a great brewery. +++

Great aroma, a mix of pine and citrus. Amber color. the flavor hits first with a wonderful pine and then a very satisfying citrus. Great IPA

Amber, great head. Lots of hop / pineapple aroma. Taste has plenty of malt and "brown grass" flavor - slightly sweet. Hop bitterness, but doesn’t seem like it’s a lot of hop flavor (perhaps I’ve had too many hoppy beers earlier tonight). Finish is quite bitter at the very end.

Bottle poured into glass. Clean copper color. Lacy head. Full flowery hop aroma. Full Flavor in this one. Heavy bitter flavor. This starts hoppy and finished hoppy. Long finish too. Med body. The flavor really lasts in your mouth. I like to drink this once and while, but not one of my top 5 IPAs.

Bottle: Nose with fruity, flowerly hops. Some honey maltiness. Redish, orange color, light creamy head. Flavor is well bodied, light sweetness, intensive notes of lemony cascade notes. Long, dry bitter finish. Simply great.

12-ounce bottle purchased from Siciliano’s in Grand Rapids, Mich., and poured into a pint glass. After the first few sips, I would’ve called this a straight-up drain pour. But, it’s starting to grow on me. Either way, this isn’t what I was expecting and I was hoping for something better. I would say I’m being generous with the rating that was given. But, judging by the previous postings, people obviously enjoys it. So, I say cheers.

Holy Hops!!! There is so much hop flavor its almost a bit overwhelming. I like it, but I think I like a little subtler hop flavor.
