UPDATED: FEB 25, 2020 500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie FEB 20 during the 2020 flooding of Shrewsbury. Many thanks to Jeremy for this! Big chewy piney resin hit going on here, big robust bitterness.. DIPA as it used to be back in the olden days, and brings back fond memories of getting wowed by Mikkeller 1000IBU, Brewdog Hardcore IPA and the likes.. Brilliant stuff.

Excellent brew. But, seriously, you have to mix it up to appreciate what you have. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2020 Keg at O’Briens, San Diego, CA on 23/04/2008. It’s a classic, for sure. I possibly didn’t know this at the time. Huge bitter and piney hop aroma with resinous flavour and some fruit peal. Just enough sweetness to offset.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2020 Klasyk na niedziele i pierwsze piwo z jednego z najlepszych paneli na jakim byłem w @maverickgdansk , od którego już oczywiście trochę czasu minęło Aromat intensywny, grejpfrut, pomarańcze, trochę sosnowo, w tle bardziej zioła. W smaku dość wyraźnie słodowe, potem wchodzą cytrusy. W posmaku lekko ziołowe, goryczka średnia, alkohol niewyczuwalny. Jest to dobre piwo, na pewno klasyk, ale jest Imo dość przecenione. Na pewno nie powoduje efektu WOW jaki sugeruje jego ocena czy legenda.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2020 Thanks to Max for the bottle! Very light haze, good head. Pineapple fruity pine nose. Serious bitterness from start to finish, but it's so smooth compared to any other beer with that level of IBUs. Great piney flavor. This is one fresh bottle, 1 month in the bottle! Wow.

Draft at SFO 23oz. Smells of fresh citrus, with some wet cheesecloth - muted and mild. Appearance is straight gold with moderate head, but excellent carbonation and lacing. Full Flavor of pale malt and moderately herbs, Rich and consistent . Palate is not acidic or leeching, but holds the weight of the malt and liveliness of the hops. World Class mouthfeel and better than the sum of its parts. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2020 Coppery color with a white head and solid lacing. Very hoppy with a pine aroma. Excellent.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2020 51cl bottle from California as a gift: Clear amber with some bubbles rising but it's lighter than expected. The head is fluffy & white, holding very well with good lacing too. The smell was a fresh & hoppy one with floral notes & a pleasant bitterness, some grapefruit at the end too but nothing overly pronounced. Citrus & grapefruit kick off the taste with a freshness, faint pine & subtle tropical fruits, most notably pineapple; the bitterness is slightly stronger here too. The body is strongly carbonated & medium with a clean feel & the alcohol content is hidden well too. Very nice & easy to drink; not the best DIPA I've had but it is certainly up there.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2020 This beer is a legend. Well balanced. Nice citrus notes. Clean, crisp, refreshing.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2020 Light golden color with a white head. Crisp and mildly dry. A little citrus zest and some floral hops that comes to a great finish. Full, but not heavy.
