Mar 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to Styles. The pour was amber in color, nice off-white colored head. The aroma was solid, perfume floral notes on top of grapefruits. The flavor was full hoppy grapefruits, floral notes, bittering hops, some orangey type malts. The mouthfeel was highly carbonated, bitter dryness, tingly action on the back of the mouth. Nice stuff, thanks, Chris!

Mar 9, 2008 Pours clear orange with a pure white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles. Lots of sticky lace. The aroma is big with pine and grapefruit, but comes off harsh due to alcohol. Super hoppy flavor. Aggressive, leaf flavored bitterness. Long finish Medium body. High carbonation. Dry finish. Good, but the finish hangs around longer than I’d like.

Mar 3, 2008 12 oz bottle (bottle code b2) from Gregis. Pour is basketball orange, clear, with a 2 inch off white head. Aroma of grassy, piney and sweet citrus fruit hops. Nice nose. Taste is not quite as big as the nose would have suggested. Pretty much all the flavors from the nose, with some honey sweetness in the finish. Decent DIPA. Thanks for sharing this one Greg!

Mar 2, 2008 An orange/brown beer with small white head. I personally don’t think it has much of a hoppy taste as it should. Has a citrus kick. Pricey for what you get.

Mar 2, 2008 Clear amber body with a small off-white head, lasting cover. Moderately sweet and very hoppy nose with grapefruit, cat urine, tangerine, flowers, caramel and cotton candy. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter taste with lots of caramel, honey, tea, tangerine and grapefruit. Full body is soft and sticky with moderate carbonation and a bitter end.

Feb 29, 2008 12oz bottle. Medium deep amber-orange color, unfiltered. Intense truly grapefruit aroma. The grapefruit characteristics also come through in the taste. I think beers like this one and Bells Hopslam have really raised the bar in terms of super hoppy beers. The hoppy flavors of course dominate, but I also pick up a little amber malt tastes. Great beer, maximum recommendation to the hopheads.
