Feb 27, 2009 Draught at the big hunt. Hazy gold-amber with a small head. Spicy and citiric hops in aroma. Bitter, not too much malt going on, and mostly spicy with slight citric fruit flavors. Not the tropical bomb that double simcoe is, but a decent hop profile and a good dry malt balance to the bitterness

Feb 13, 2009 If you like hops, you will like this beer. Slight cloudiness, excellent pour, great head (from a bottle). The caramel color is decadent. This beer gives the impression of raw hops, but not overpowering and not too bitter. Awesome balance. Hops, straight up.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to Jabic. Pours a deep orange color, almost no head. Flavor has a nice soft malt characteristic to it, followed by a well balanced blend of hops. Pretty much every hop note that you could imagine is in here somewhere. Fizzy on the palate. Finish is dry and phenolic. Nicely done, I’m surprise this isn’t higher ABV by the way it drinks.

Feb 10, 2009 Poured a reddish orange with thin off-white head that lingered well and left okay lacing. Aroma was citrusy hops, and a touch of malt. Mouthfeel was full, dry and tingly, and the taste picked up the hoppy citrus of the nose. A decent, well rounded finish, primarily dry and bitter from the hops, yet with just a touch of malty sweetness.

Jan 21, 2009 This beer poured a nice orange/copper color with nice pillowy white head that stays around quite a while. Aroma is clearly dominated by the hops with a bit of biscuit briefly coming through. Flavor is an assault of hops. Not subtle in any way. Mouthfeel is hops oilyness, medium body. Not complex or great, but very drinkable.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle on sale at Sam’s... only a few weeks away from the "Drink by" date. Golden orange clear pour with nice big off-white head. Some definite metallic notes starting to overshadow the hops, but they’re there. A bit of resin, but more bitter citrus, floral, and even soapy. Nice floral bitter finish.

Jan 18, 2009 12oz. Very nice, mild ipa. Not as strong or uniquely flavored as the Double Simcoe but quite nice. Bit spicy, robust itter and nice creamy citrus/malt.
