May 16, 2008 Beer pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Floral hop aromas. A little fruity. Huge hop taste. Big time dry hop taste. Pretty good for the style.

May 16, 2008 33 cl bottle. Amber color, nice white head. Aroma is very hoppy and fruity. Flavor is the same. Nice!
Lumpy (1527), Carrollton, Texas, USA
May 15, 2008 Bottle. Body-hazy light gold, loose foamy white ring of bubbles. Nose-lotion, light orange, light white spices, stale weak grapefruit, hops, high CO2. Taste-a little on the sweet side, piney, OK bitter level, mint/pine on the backend, tastes like a 1.5 IPA with no soul. OK, but nothing to write home about.
Ernest (4145), Boulder, Colorado, USA
May 15, 2008 Bottle.
Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is hazy dark yellow, unfiltered.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, bread), moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs), with notes of alcohol, pear syrup.
Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic.
Not much going on in the nose and very sweet, but the finishing bitterness cleans up the latter ok. Hard to drink much of it, but it’s certainly not unenjoyable. Overall not that impressed, even if not judged in the American DIPA mold.
travita (537), Lewisville, Texas, USA
May 15, 2008 Light golden in color with a light head. Smell is hops, citrus, and earthy. Taste is really hopy, bitter. A little bit like cleaning fluid. Ok but could be better.
