rlgk (3014), Motala, Sweden Oct 2, 2006 (Stockholm Beer Festival 2006) Yellow, white head. Dry hoppy aroma, citrus, floral but also with some smotth malty notes. Really hoppy flavor, oily, fruity, citrus, grassy. Hoppy, metallic finish.
SacSirPlato (15), New Buffalo, Michigan, USA Aug 26, 2008 Nice light copper pour. Weird hoppy aroma. I think I like it! Malty. Hoppy. Sweet and sticky. The crazy hoppy flavors are subdued by the malt. The carbonation seems just about right here. Very nice. Meikman (3), Allston, Massachusetts, USA does not count Aug 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 27, 2008One of my favorites, for sure my favorite IPA. A hint fruity, with a great hop finish. I can taste it just thinking of it. ewestern (81), Ohio, USA Aug 25, 2008 Hop filtered at Dayton Alefest - Amber color with an off white head. Very hoppy aroma. Hoppy citrus flavor with a note or two of honey. Sharp bitter start on the tongue with a bitter finish that does not hang around. iride15 (112), Sanford, Florida, USA Aug 23, 2008 Really good IPA. Poors a dark amber with a strong aroma full of many flavors. Bitter finish left something missing, but a great bottled IPA. Mes_and_Sim (4320), Highgate, Greater London, England Aug 23, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle from somewhere in Brooklyn. Gorgeous clean amber colour with a lovely white head that can be resurrected with a swill at any point. This is what I love about U.S. IPAs and it kicks the ass of the 120 any day. Amazing resinous and piney hoppage with notes of freshly harvested ganja. Slightly cheesey but in a really good way. Beautiful biscuity malt base supports it gloriously. Big bitter and almost stinging finish that is, dare I say it, almost restrained and just very well pitched. An absolute cracker.
