From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Very fruity hop aroma. Golden coloured and very hoppy with a citrus flavour. Crisp and bitter lasting finish.

Courtesy of Yngwie & Gunnfryd. Orange-golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is nicely fruity hopped with a light caramel sweetness and notes of oranges and other orange citrus fruits. The flavour also has a lot of fruity hops with notes of citrus, papaya, mango, oranges and a light, but nice caramel. It’s really nice!

On tap at the Kennett Square Brew Fest (’05). Poured a deep amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of flowers, light oranges and some caramel. Tastes of citrus, grapefruit, flowers and caramel. I never would have guessed it was 7.5%.

Diminishing off-white head covers the hazy orange hue. Highly aromatic nose boasting full-on lemon and even moreso herbal/grassy hops that overtake the grainy, bready well contained honeyed maltiness. Light-medium bodied, big bubbled carbonation. Even for an IPA, this remains highly attenuated, yet managing to heave cerealic and hayish malts among those bitter hops. Mineral, dry and well made.

12oz bottle-thanks to Joe/jwc215 pours a retaining light tan foamy head and gold color. Aroma is nice citrusy/sweet grapefruit-hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is nice, bitter pine/citrusy/sweet grapefruit-hops, secondary medium malt. Raw, good for one. OK/mild carbonation.

Clear deep golden color with a well-lacing wispy white head. Aroma is of resiny piney grassy hops and some musk. Starts with a fuller palate and good fresh piney hoppy presence. An enjoyable, crips IPA, but could use a little more sweetness for balance and to really be considered a double IPA.
