Clear yellow-orange pour with a light tan head. Lots of bubbles in the glass. Hoppy aroma with pine and spice. Dry flavor. Very bitter. Good malt backbone. Citrus notes with lots of piny hops.

Dec 22, 2009 500 ml bottle - thanks to goryshkewych for the tasty bonus; slight haze, glowing orange and fluffy white head when poured into my DFH snifter; aromas of bitter fruits, sugary malt, pineapple, stale hops, skunk weed; body is on the thin side with mild resiny mouthfeel; hop profile in the flavors is a little weak; much more fruity than dry in the finish and the sweetness carries over the bitterness; love the nose here though; memory might not be quite right, but the nose and fruitiness reminds me a little of nugget nectar

Dec 20, 2009 Courtesy of Joe McPhee. This poured a very clear very amber, with nice white head and good lacing. Nose is very much of floral, greasy, and herbal hops. Mouthfeel is a bit light in body but very smooth. . Flavor is a good blend of malts and hops, with citrus and good bitterness continues all the way to the long bitter finish. A really good beer.

Dec 19, 2009 Very clear very light amber, but nice head and lacing. When I first saw the color, I thought I was in for a disappointment. Aroma smells just like marijuana. VERY herby and resiny, and somewhat floral and grassy hop aroma. Reminds me a lot of Pliny the Elder. A bit of sweet peach note also on the nose. Feel is a little watery, medium carbonation. Just abit malty up front, Grapefruit and grassy hops, with a little citrus bite slowly awake towards the bacl of the palate, then woodsy, herby hop bitterness and flavor really open up toward the back of the palate and the finish. Bright bitterness lasts well beyond the finish, reallt burns into the tongue for a while after. Really a great beer, but I actually wish there was as much hops in the flavor as there is in the aroma.

Dec 15, 2009 From a 500ml bottle into a pint glass. Pours with a ton of foamy white head which leaves lots of lacing. It has a beautiful golden hue to it. Smell is of stanky, skunky hops. Mouthfeel is sticky, sweet and medium bodied. Taste is very, very sweet with skunky hops predominating with a lot of honey and other sweetness. I’d like to have more carbonation to this. Overall, I wasn’t a big fan of it at all. WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY overrated in my opinion. Too sweet, not enough carbonation, too pricy and too much skunk to the hops. Sorry cap’n, time to let this one go down with the ship.

Dec 14, 2009 Malty sweet east coast DIPA. Meh. Lots of hops but not too bitter or complex, decent nose. Syrupy. A little undercarbed. Not a fan.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle from hbmason -- thanks Tim! Amber pour with a huge foamy white head. It’s real sweet, with honey, brown sugar, and bready malt. Not really a hop bomb, but balanced and sweet. Taste is malty, with caramel notes right off the bat, lots of grapefruit, and a bit of heat on the end that flows into piney, grassy hops. It’s smooth and slick, a bit resiny, and has some tingly carbonation.
