Pours a golden orange, hazy body with a finger-width, dirty white, dense and foamy head that dissipates slowly and remains extremely lacy. Sexual. Aroma loaded with pineapple citrus hops. Some earthy notes to it and a good amount of sweet maltiness. Juicy aroma! Juicy flavor! Very very very fresh tasting citrus hoppiness that tastes just like I’m biting into a just cut pineapple. Explodes in the mouth. Semi-sweet maltiness balances the juicy hop explosion very well. Finishes with a residual honey sweetness that is very unique to the style. Palate is actually light to medium bodied and very crisp and refreshing. Overall, a fantastic DIPA. Extremely drinkable and loaded with intense juicy flavor. Phenomenal beer. randolphjj (102), Raymore, Missouri, USA

It’s like you pour a bottle and you’ve created a citrus-y pine forest microclimate. The Kansas City metro got 35 cases this year, and I only got one (case). Sorry to everyone else who didn’t get one... I’ll be camped outside the store next year waiting for the shipment. Iceman82 (27), Chicago, Illinois, USA

I’m definitely a hophead and this one blows me away. Pours a rich orange color with a medium head that quickly fades away. This one leave a nice lacing on the glass. Aromas of citrus ( mandarin orange...tangerine) Has a taste of orange, peach and bittering, piney hops. Very balanced and leaves you wanting more. I gotta say...I like this more than the 3F Dreadnaught!!! I LOVE THIS BEER!!! shaunhennessy (2), Lee’s Summit, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Delicious well balanced India Pale Ale with an incredible nose. Smells like a canabis patch in the middle of a pine forest. paleale80 (7), Lansdowne, Alabama, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Feb 28, 2009 This is an absolute dream beer !! I wish we could get more IPA’s made like this. The aroma is a hop lover’s paradise with an amazing fruit bouquet shining through. The potency of this beer is well hidden behind all the hop goodness and citrus flavors. Not much head present in either draft or bottle I’ve noticed, but the flavor and smell take up this slack. Please put this on year round Larry !! NathanJM (35), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA

Not as bitter as many DIPA...much more refined and balanced...if you can use those terms with a beer called "...slam"! Serve it cold and enjoy this seasonal brew.
