At least this is a memorable beer. Someone out here has surely made a 1.5PA and if not, perhaps this is it. A balance that has the west coast slant I love. I could probably drink this until I fell over. BrotherGrendel (610), San Diego, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a clear, golden/orange hue with two fingers of creamy, white head that is mostly diminishing, excellent lacing
S- Nose is well-balanced with citrus and floral hops, pine resin, and sweet malts
T- Initial taste is dominated by grapefruit and other citrus, followed by some sweet malts and ending with a long-lasting citrus bitterness
M- Medium-bodied with adequate carbonation, coats the tongue with subtle alcohol warming
D- 8%abv is well-masked but could build up over time, this is a wonderful ale in between IPA/DIPA status that is hopped up but well-balanced and extremely delicious JohnnyJ (1352), Carlsbad, California, USA

The strong hop aroma is resiny and a bit fruity, piney. Good toffee flavor, dry mouthfeel, because of an extreme hopping, very resiny and piney. Very good. Ungstrup (15419), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 31, 2008 22oz bottle. Acquired in trade. The pour is a nice amber orange with a thin layer of white lace on top of the beer and on the glass. Aroma is fresh resiny hops. That’s all I smell. Very fresh and the taste was what I was hoping. Really satisfying biting hops up front, then lightly sweet malts followed up by the bitter bite on the sides of my tongue. This beer is chuggably good.
