The beer lacks body. The hops are well built, with grassey and an almost lime taste. The after taste is similar to eatting a Mt Hood hop straight. The beer is good, a little too much carbonation, and it is missing something. I guess it would have to be a residual malt flavor to match to hoppiness.

Very hoppy, you can identify the hops in the aroma, the flavor, the aftertaste, etc., very sharp flavor & taste, a bit spicy, some orange-type undertones, very bitter, but also very very good

My bottle sample foamed up on opening after being refrigerated quietly for several days. I tried a second bottle from the same six pack and another foam up. Managed to catch most of the beer in my glass. Initially there was about a two inch head consisting of big bubbles and flecks of material in it (hops? yeast?). The head fell down to a half inch in three minutes but maintained a cotton candy consistency. First sip.... are those hop petals stuck between my teeth ;-) Very hoppy is an understatement. I love hops but this may not have enough malt body to pull this off. Residual bitterness on the palate is pleasing though.

one of the best aromas around. big floral spicy hops that rise up from the glass and slap you in the face. the taste lives up to the nose with a big hop palate that is moderated by some pleasant malt sweetness. has a nice bitter aftertaste. moderate carbonation gives this a smooth palate.

WARNING: make sure you take several good whiffs of this beer prior to attempting it. Seriously atomic hops!The aroma is like sticking your nose into a bag of hop pellets! And the flavor of hops smacks your taste buds like school bully laying out the class nerd. As the beer warms up it smooths out (relatively speaking) and develops an oily mouthfeel. Their label boasts that they have 4X the hops of their IPA and they’re not shittin’ you! This may be the perfect complement for VENOM’s Chili recipe. MMM chili.

Definitely the heaviest beer hopwise I’ve ever had...I would have expected a beer with so much hops to be quite bitter, but it is a very pleasant surprise, as the hops are very balanced. Nice aroma, good bronze/amber color, nice head...Weyerbacher put out excellent quality microbrews, and this is no exception

Very overpowering beer. The aroma and appearance were fantastic; however, the taste was what I imagine a bowl of cold flower petal soup would taste like. A beer not for the faint of heart. POWERFUL!

Heavy hopped to be sure. I don’t find it as good as Hop Devil or Hop Pocket.

Chocolaty malty with just the right balance of hops. EVeryone who reviewed it said the hop balance was perfect and I agree. Not overly bitter, but just right. Good color and very tasty.

Well-hopped, but i thought it was very nicely balanced. Could definitely taste the malt as well as the hoppy citrus aftertaste. Not as bitter as i thought it would be.
