Bottle poured a cloudy orange with a huge, thick and creamy head that looked like off white whipped cream in the glass! and lasted for the entire beer.
Crisp hops and citrus aroma that could be detected across the table.
Flavor is citrus and hops with a nice dry finish.
9% alcohol content is very well hidden .
AWESOME! Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Great big fruity bitterness greets the nose. Citrus zest, with tropical tones, as well, pineapple, mango, guava, a very comforting and lively hop aroma, all at once...another reason to urge my lips to meet the glass.
Juicy fruit and bitterness are king once the drink joins the palate, buy it’s not too much, at least not to this hophead. Bitter grapefruit mixes with sweet mangos....full bodied, full flavored, but extraordinarily drinkable.
Yow! This is my kind of IPA, wonderful flavors, not too bitter, just enough...the bitterness lingers in the mouth just long enough before fading a touch.
I like it, I like it a lot! jcwattsrugger (5583), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 27, 2005 750 bottle-pours a tan rich head. Color is amber. Aroma is hops, hops. Taste is sweet, sugary, and hops. I am rating to my taste, this one has too much going on, but they are about BIG BEERS. Gurst (338), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 7, 2005 Very hoppy, but this is not a simple flavor profile. The sip starts with an aggressive punch of grapefruit which quickly melts to pine. The middle turns spicy and sweet, almost like a mild wheat. The finish is dry and floral, with notes of syrup, orange, and grapes. Smooth going down, although it is very bitter. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 6, 2005 Hazy amber colored, creamy off-white head. Aroma is bitter, not overly bitter but nicely balanced. Hoppy and creamy with some light spices also. Flavor is sharp and bitter hoppy with a dry end, but also some sweet fruity and orangy notes. Actually quite easy, but really tasty. Me like! SuIIy (1504), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
