Sep 19, 2005 Draught sample at O’Brien’s, San Diego. Hazy reddish-orange colour. I was pretty hopped out after the Hoppiness, Pliny and Dorado, so I don’t think I was able to give this a fair tasting, but as far as hop-bombs go, it’s a pretty good one. I was glad to move on to some new styles after this one, though.

Sep 15, 2005 On tap@O’brien’s: Orange-amber color with a wisp (bar pour) of eggshell head. Perfumy, fruity (citrus) aroma. Light sweet start followed by a sharp grapefruit bitterness and a light, dry zest finish. Smooth, tangy palate.

Nov 28, 2004 Updated: Nov 29, 2004(Draft: Wet Hop Beer Festival, O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) Tied for first place (with Rogue Hop Heaven) in this Wet Hop Festival, at least to me! Very flavorful, malty and somewhat sweet, moderately hoppy and bitter. The nose is strongly hoppy, but malty and sweet too. Medium bodied, but with a nice full mouthfeel. Amber in color. Light tan head is kinda bubbly and has good size during the pour. Some patchy lacing.

Nov 21, 2004 Dark gold, chunky head. All hops in the nose. Flavor was hops, a very strange hop character emerged. Kinda strange.

Nov 20, 2004 The deep amber body of this brew is topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet and grapefruity wtih a slight underlying pine note. Nice aroma. The flavor is sweet yet spicy and hoppy with some pine and a touch of fruit. Medium bodied, slightly dry and a little oily.
