amg800 (34), Ada, Michigan, USA Jun 8, 2009 Hangs with the best IPAs available in MI. Aroma is fresh hops, pair that with the flavor of the first sip and you’ve got yourself a great beer experience. Hard to taste anything after enjoying two or three of these which is exactly how it should be. Flavor sticks with you. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours slightly hazy with a darkish golden/orange color and has a nice frothy white head with great lacing. Aroma of sticky pine, fresh citrus, light malts and has a touch of honey. Flavor was well balanced between the hops and malts with piney resin, sweet honey, caramel and has a hint of grapefruit with a strong bitter backbone. alcohol was well hidden with a medium body and has a bittersweet finish. Excellent dipa bradner (25), Oswego, Illinois, USA Jun 5, 2009 Aroma of banana, hops, honey, and floral. Flavor of banana, hops, pineapple. Initial sweet taste that becomes slightly bitter. Medium mouthfeel. For the amount of alcohol it is hidden well. Probably the best of its style. rbrazell (57), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 5, 2009 Pours orange with some haze and a thin white head. Nose of tons of fresh hops, citrus, honey, flowers. Flavor is the same with a great balance and finish. MikeF (528), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jun 2, 2009 Crisp aroma of hops and mild honey.Clean golden color. A perfect blend of floral hop flavors, bitterness, and rich caramel malt flavors fine tuned with a touch of honey. one of the best. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium May 30, 2009 Thanks to my bud Matt. Light amber color, pretty, with a fluffy orange-tinted head. Smells like a fruit bomb—I mean that in the best way—with sweet mandarine, pineapple, pear syrup, flowers and more. Initially quite sweet and rolling quickly into a tongue-coating bitterness, Long bitter aftertaste with fruity edge. Not quaffable but at 10% it could be a fine cap to a long summer night. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA May 29, 2009 On tap at Stub & Herb’s. Pours clear amber with a decent off-white head. Sweet boozy floral hop aroma with lots of grapefruit and orange. Tastes like it smells but stronger. Nice mouthfeel, bitter finish. raindog (558), Evansville, Indiana, USA May 27, 2009 Barely Chilled: This is approaching a little old now for me for a 2ipa. 5/27/09
Golden,with bubbles slowly rising to the fat,creamy,head. Head is lacey. Aroma makes me want to keep inhaling til’ I pass out. The honey-hop interplay in the aroma is outstanding. Earthy honey,and resiny,citric,hops aromas. Underlying caramel,bicuit,and alcohol. Creamy,thick,lightly fizzy texture. Initial bitterness and biscuit. Late caramel,wet leaf and floral hop flavos. Fihish is lingering piney,and citric. Alcohol is just a touch in the finish. I will buy this earlier next year,although it is still delicious.
