Crystal clear copper, with a foamy tan head. Strong perfumy aroma, cashew nuts, chocolate oranges, and crystal mat. Smooth body, manages to hold together despite the savage amount of hops and specialty malts that are surely apparent. Feels a little bit slick too. Simple sweet flavours of toffee, biscuit and orangey hops... maybe a bit sickly. Bitter, long, full finish shows a bit of alcohol and is generally pretty damn good. A great beer, but perhaps a bit simple and rough around the edges.

Aug 28, 2008 A definate superior to Hop Whollop by the same brewery. I have to say that this is one of the more biter IPAs out there. I enjoy this with some chili.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle poured. Slight hoppy aroma. Lots of roasted malt, and resin hop flavor. Some lacing on the plastic cup I drank it in. Lots of straightforward bitterness, but a little too bitter without a lot of complexity to give it a higher rating.

Aug 25, 2008 12 ozer poured into an imperial pint glass. Poured a slightly hazy amber color with a one finger white head that disappeared quickly into a lot of lacing. Aroma is of citrus hops and a light hint of malt. Flavor is a well balanced floral hop taste, with a some lingering citrus. Light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation. I think this was a very good beer. Not so hoppy that you taste it for days, and not so bland that it leaves you wanting more.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours out a hazy amber with a disappearing head. The aroma is a faint citrussy hop with raspberry undertones. The mouthfeel is watery, and the flavor was a mellow floral and citrus hop with a lingering mild piney bitterness. The flavor was nice and the bitterness was pleasant, but overall disappointing intensity considering the name. Above average.

Aug 21, 2008 I tried this several times before I decided to rate. Great aroma and color. Good hop taste and bitterness but the malt came out a little more at the end than I want in an IPA.
