Jonte (374), Gothenburg, Sweden Jul 12, 2008 Bottle at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. Orange color with an off-white head. Aroma of hops, grape, sweet malt, exotic fruit and grass. The taste is hoppy, but not extreme. Notes of grape, pine, caramel, strawberries, exotic fruit, grass and a bit of alcohol. Hoppy, but also very sweet and malty. Creamy and full bodied.
Drew (2376), Kent, Ohio, USA 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! bp (284), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA 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. Scauca (244), Lovere, Italy 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. joeyplush (47), Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 Pours a cloudy, copper color with an off-white head. Citrus hops aroma, balanced with sweet malt and caramel. Chest warming alcohol finish. nearbeer (1234), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA 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.
