Hazy amber body with a tiny white head. Bland nose, light citrus some caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter with tangerine, grapefruit, caramel and tea. Medium body is thin with light carbonation. Blah

Pours amber cloudy, white head. Aroma, hoppy and fruity (lime / orange) Taste, I am not usually a big IPA / oppy fan, but this brew was damn sweet on the palate with still some hops bitetrness. Well balanced with malts and the fruits and the right dose of hops. This is one excellent 2xIPA. Zeus really hit this one with lightning bolts and did something amazing with this beer. The Gods are with us.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep orange with copper hues and off white head. The aroma has solid malt notes pairing up with tangelo and grapefruit juice. The taste has some creamy malt sweetness mixing with a mouth full of grapefruit hops and tangelo. Very nice mixture of flavors where the malty sweetness and the solid hops are in a tasty proportion to one another with the hops having the bolder character. Very nice IPA and decent IIPA.

Bottle from Summer SS 08. Good citrus and fresh floral aromas. Cloudy cooper body with off white head and decent lacing. Good citrus grapefruit hop flavor with some sweet sugar addditive. Cool and crisp on the palate with citrus lingering on palate. Good brew thanks Alan.

Bottle, at BA Throwdown #2. Pours a bronze sheen, creamy white head and very sticky lacing. Strong hops in the nose, citrus, huge tropical influence, lots of mango, notably and some cantaloupe. Flavors of bitter hops, citrus, and big on tropical fruit. Very tasty. Nice tangy body, smooth, hoppy as hell, very unique and very good. Real surprised by this gem.

Had this on tap at the Harrisburg Brewfest. Aroma was great with lots of grapefruit and lots of pine and some toasted caramel, malt. Apperance was lightly hazy amber with a decent sized off-white head. Some acific bitterness with a mdium body.
