Sep 6, 2008 Orangish-copper with a white, sea-foam head. Nose is rather weak and dominated by citrus. I also detect pineapple. Palate is sticky and salty, which contrasts the light, fruity nose. Flavor is more developed with grapefruit, malt, slight pine and caramel. Odd IIPA, one that never came together for me.

Sep 2, 2008 Botella. Deep golden colour. Lovely fruity bit alco aroma. Great mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with lots of ripe fruits, a good bitterness, pine and citrus. Sweetish bitter ripe fruity finish.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle. Enjoyed with Indian food, which was a nice pairing. Notes of lemongrass, hay, and orange zest on the nose lead into apricot, lemon, and a decided hop note with a lingering sweetness. Well crafted and easy to drink despite it’s ABV, although lacking the complexity of some of the best IIPAs. Taken as whole, a good beer, but not an outstanding one.

Sep 2, 2008 What a great beer. This thing was fantastic. Pours out a dark gold color with a nice amount of foam. Aroma is very intense with sweet fruits, resin, and hops. Flavor was a hop bomb. Just as the description says. Thats all i could taste and thats what i liked about this one.

Aug 29, 2008 Bomber. Pours clear dark gold with a white ring of foam. Sweet aroma of mango, pineapple, resin. Full body and minimal carbonation. Sweet taste of cotton candy, grapefruit and peach, with a resinous finish.
