12oz bottle. Cloudy orange color with strong hop aroma and taste. If you like hops you’ll probably like this one as it is all about the hops.

Pours an orange color with nice white head. Decent lacing. Strong aroma of citrus, hops and pine. Great hoppy bite to it with a nice citrus/apricot flavor along with spice and pine to round it out. Solid mouthfeel. This brew is a winner.

Bottle from Villa, Storrs, CT. Damn good beer. Slightly cloudy orange-gold color with a sweet hoppy flavor. Undertones of honey. Very good.

tremendously shockingly good! not expecting slams on all points, but it pours a beauty, evokes a nose of mystery and hop fortitude...taste is out of this world, thick, rich mouthfeel...i even think i rated this too low.....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Yellow pour with small white head. Good lacing. Nose of floral hops and citrus. Flavor was the same with some good caramel and piney notes. Creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle - Pours a hazy darkish amber in color with a small white head that faded, ut provided some small lacing on the glass. Aroma is strong of floral and citrus hops. Flavor is quite hoppy with flowery, citrus and pine hopiness coming through. Plenty of malt to provide a nice balance. Finish is slightly "soapy" (Hops!) and medium bitter. Not quite the "hop monster" that I was expecting, but good none-the-less...

Bottle sample at the Free the Hops 2009 Blastoff Party. Poured a pale yellow with a frothy off-white head that had some lasting. Aromas of pine, citrus, and floral hops. Nice balanced flavor of orange citrus and caramel. Medium to full body with a creamy texture.
