COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A base of pale, Munich, and Carapils malts is just enough to contain the massive hop flavor and aroma packed into this highly drinkable IPA. A blend of four American hop varieties is added four times in the kettle and twice in the fermenter for a complex and layered hop experience. Best served at 45-50˚F in a tulip or English style pint glass.

Poured from twelve ounce can purchased at Growlers in Hilton Head Island SC and tasted on July 13, 2012. Cloudy gold hue, small white head, nice sweet hoppy aroma with definite grapefruit notes, delicious bittersweet flavor with grapefruit being present in the taste as well as the aroma. This beer has a bold presence without being overwhelming. This brew would be nearly perfect if the hops were just a tiny bit more assertive but that’s a very minor quibble. I would love to try this on draft. A world class IPA.

This is a pretty solid IPA. More alcoholic than I would’ve expected. Piney with some grass in the aroma. Tried in NJ in 2013.

Aroma is nice and citrusy. Color is nicely golden. Taste is hoppy, with citrus notes, and really good drinkable ipa. Could drink a bunch of these on a hot day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pyrmir (1453) - Westra Aros, SWEDEN - JUN 11, 2013
On tap. Hazy orange with white fizzy head. Aroma fruity and piney, caramel, bread and malt. Taste is very piney, malty, caramel, some murky fruit, pineapple with fairly high bitterness. Finish is long, bitter and fruity.

abemorsten (1975) - Mosterøy, NORWAY - JUN 9, 2013
355 ml can from Vika rated at home. Four fingers high, foamy and gelatinous tan colored head on a muddy yellow-orange body. Gooseberries, pine needles, peach and mango on the nose. Smooth and full bodied, pungent sweet and bitter flavors, well balanced and refreshed by delightful fruity hops.

BOLTZ7555 (2423) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JUN 9, 2013
Cloudy golden tangerine pour with a small ivory cap. Fruit cocktail, mango, papaya, guava, and grapefruit pith in this one. Lots of fruit and citrus but missing the resin I was hoping for. Still wish they distributed here! Really solid IPA.

MikeKeller (584) - Kemi Rock City, FINLAND - JUN 8, 2013
Draught @ Olutravintola Kukko, Kemi. Orange beer with a large, frothy head. A very citric fruity IPA with not so much complexity. Simple for the style but enjoyable.

SpringsLicker (2836) - Tennessee, USA - JUN 7, 2013
The pour produces a hazy, dark yellow body with a chunky, off-white head. Piney hop aroma. The flavor profile is lightly bitter from the start all the way through the long finish. Malts are there but they let the hops star.
