Poured a deep amber colour with a nice head. At first I could taste a lot of malt but then finishes with a somewhat hoppy after taste. Good, but its nothing spectacular.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
