Murky copper color with a quickly falling medium head. The screaming citrus aroma is noticeable from a foot away. Oh my god... The sweet malt base is incredible. Biscuty and caramel, yet the bitterness stands out above all. It somehow manages to not be such a puckering acidicness that makes a man cry, but oh my word. I would camp out underneath a tap of this. Two Olfabrikkens and two 4.5 scores. Outstanding!

Aug 15, 2008 Light copper color, medium bodied, creamy smooth palate, great lacing. Actually, not overly hoppy, but a great sweet malt that includes some nice apricot notes and citrus aromas. TOo bad you could drink this like water, it’s a bit expensive!

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy brownish-orange with a frothy white head, aroma is hoppy, citrus and some other smell that I can’t really place, taste is surprisingly mellow, malty and sweet. There is a bit of bitterness in the finish but overall a mellow and balanced DIPA. Pretty good.

Aug 12, 2008 Dark amber under a creamy lasting & lacing beige head. Very strong and complex hop profile over the American palette, inviting. Quite malty and fruity at the first swallow, then it explodes in a resinous very drying bitter end.

Jul 25, 2008 650 ml. Hazy dark copper with a small, tries-to-last head. Molasses, caramel, resin, citrus and chocolate aromas. Flavor is all that plus some oak wood, walnut and light alcohol. Near medium body is watery, smooth and dryish with slight chest-warming alcohol.
