Jan 11, 2009 22 oz bottle after the Steelers pummeled the Chargers. This bottle was much better than the game. Pull the pin and toss this hop-bomb. Super sharp hoppy goodness on the nose. Grear amber color with strong white head. Taste is wonderfully sharp hops and pine. Not any sweet fruitiness. Some grapefruit maybe, and pineapple. The sharpness, not the syrup/fruit sweetness. Really good if you like the clear sharpness of hops.

Dec 28, 2008 Updated: Dec 31, 2009On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours with a slightly hazed gold body and a small off-white with compact rings of lacing from every sip. Aroma is of very floral and perfumey hops and a touch of melon. Taste is relatively strong on the malt with a nice hoppy component that finishes a bit sweet. Syrupy with light bubbles. Good and easy drinking but not flashy, DIPA, which is what it is...
on rerates...bottle: aroma and flavor are earthier and more herbal than I remember. Seems like a lot of cenntenial with some other hops in the background (possibly summit).

Oct 31, 2008 22 ounce bottle shared by cdumler. Thanks! Pours a hazy orange color with a medium frothy head (like chocolate milk) and particles suspended in the beer. Nice lacing and retention. Big hop aroma with citrus, resin and pine notes and a big honey-like malt backbone. Taste is lemon and resin hops with a tea-like character. Medium bodied. Very nice beer.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle at home ... Crisp clear amber ... sweet resiny pin hop nose... sweet resins ... quiet intense pine ... very juicy ... hides its 8% well ... light bitter linger ... but its sweet juicyness goes down a treat.

Oct 17, 2008 22 oz. bottle courtesy of Beerlando. Clear, amber color. Large, fluffy white head. Nice floral hop aroma. Flavor is sublime. Just the right balance of caramel maltiness and piney hops. Twinge of bitterness at the finish. Wonderful beer!

Oct 10, 2008 Bottle. Incredibly full floral hop nose! A slightly hazy amber with just a bit of fizz. Salty start quickly gives way for the hop bitterness. The bitters take you for a long finish with sweet tones lingering at the tip of the tongue too. The name says it all! Delicious!
