Pours clear gold with an average, rocky white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing.

Full bodied, creamy start, lively carbonation, with a dry and spicy finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. TipsyMcStager (946), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Big pine hop aroma. Golden coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a crisp and bitter malt finish. Boutip (2402), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Bottle: Poured a light clear orangey color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit hops is one-dimensional but still very interesting. Taste is also dominated by grapefruit hops with loads of great floral notes and light bitter finish. Malt is present thought doesn’t play a big role in the final taste. Body is about average with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Well done for a West Coast IIPA. andersand (392), Malmö, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Hazy amber colour with a large off-white head. Aroma is typical clean piney hops over a caramell foundation. Flavour is the same, quite generous and fairly balanced with a good hoppy aftertaste. Could do better with a less pine-tree and a more juice-like hop character. In my.. Opinion.. chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Bottle, April 2008 tasting. Dark gold colour. Powerful hops throughout - lots of pine and grapefruit. Minimal malt backup and rather astringent bitterness knock it down a notch. Still a very tasty DIPA. Certainly doesn’t stray into that sweet sticky territory that some do.
