12 oz bottle. Hazy gold with a small off white head. Big grapefruit nose, bitter rind notes. Snappy orange citrus flavors, plus a mellow caramel. Very good!

Foggy orange amber color with a bubbly thin white head . Aroma is very heavy citrus and pine, along with a heavy dose of hops, a bit of a hard candy smell also. Taste is fairly sweet, still getting a lot of the citrus showing up, a unique IIPA.

Extra special thanks to johnykat for contributing to my pre-work deliquesce ! Pours a hazy shade of orange with 2 finger head that slowly dissapates to one island of foam. Fine example oflacing with a wonderful fruity hop aroma. Alcohol is well masked with this hop bomb. well balanced between hop and malts. Another fine beer from Bells

Gonna go ahead and rerate this. Fresh as shit batch 8912. Pours a clean translucent honey colored brew with a two finger creamy offwhite head. The pour alone looks like this beer is a simple malt canvas on which a gorgeous work of hop is painted. The nose is punching me in the face, resinous, grapefruit, all kinds of fruit and citrus, mildly piney and spicy, almost sweet. The flavor is dominated by hops, resinous, citrusy, pink grapefruit meat, fruity, very subdued hop bitterness, all hop flavor. Palate is full and coating with a soft bitterness. Simply fantastic.

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

bottle thanks to thirdeye11. batch 8907 light yellow with a thick cream head. nose is florally grapefruit and fresh hops. very nice on the palate with a sweet grapefruity flavor that doesn’t even show a hint of alcohol.

Bottle sampled with Mad Indian. Pours amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, citrus, and caramel. The flavor is a full bodied caramel treat, with some non-over the top hoppy bitterness. Great body, excellent brew.
