Nov 2, 2008 From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured dense yellow with huge pine and citrus hops nose. Flavors follow the aromas in addition to apple and honey. No alcoholic aftertaste. Another winner from Bells.

Oct 28, 2008 The hops in this one slam into you like a novacaine hurricane and don’t let up until you tap into submission. Beautiful gold pour with a massive citrus and floral aroma that largely features oranges. Some honey in the flavor on top of the aforementioned ingredients. For serious hop lovers only.

Oct 24, 2008 It pours a beautiful orange-tinted gold, lightly hazy. The head is creamy, lasts forever, and laces brilliantly. The aroma is strongly of fruit: peaches, orange blossoms, and grapefruit. It is a thick, somewhat sweet nose.
Immediately you get a strong floral, slightly fruity hop flavor. I note roses, orange blossoms, and apricots. The bitterness slowly grows to overpower the delicate flavor, and lingers. This beer is ever so slightly cloying, which actually balances the lingering bitterness. However, these long aftertastes do not get in the way of another sip.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours orange/amber, off white head.
Aroma, floral hops.
Taste, super hoppy, floral/pine with lots of alcohol.
Leaves a nice fruity and honey presence.
Just not a big fan of extreme hoppy beers.

Oct 21, 2008 As the name suggests..it’s hoppy. Nice citrusy smell. Pours an orangey golden color with a slightly off-white head. Evergreen too. Really nice bitterness.. doesn’t at all seem like a 10% beer. Really like this. I’m big fan of Bells.

Oct 17, 2008 A lot going on in this beer. Complex aroma, fruity and hoppy. Yet, honesty its very drinkable and pleasant. I bought several cases and planned to keep at least 1 case for a year or two but my will power is weak and I finished my last six pack a couple days ago. Definintely a midwest beer...

Oct 14, 2008 Bottle thanks to Andrew at Stateline. Aroma was citrus, pine, and hops. Taste was similar with floral notes. Finish was nice and very drinkable. Enjoyed.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from Bello Vino. I must admit, I was looking forward to something a little less resiny. Aroma pops from the bottle: sweet fruits, citrus peels, green. Eventually it subsides to a creamy florality with plenty of hop. Flavor is thick like Mikkeller Big Worse or the 3F/Mkk Hvedegoop: very saucy, tart apple reduction, hop-nasty and grape peel. Hyper-bitter, very heavy; not a SoCal IPA by any stretch.
