Fruity, very hoppy nose with pine needles and resin. Fruity taste with loads of hops, notes of pine needles, resin, grapefruit and black-currant. Medium to full body, sweetish but in brilliant balance. Stunning stuff! ante (2960), Stockholm, Sweden
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Draught at Bishop’s Arms North, Stockholm. Ours out in a hazy reddish amber colour with a small sticky white foam. Big and vibrant hop aroma of lychee, black currant, grapefruit, resin, grass and flowers. Starts fruity and rather sweet of black currant, plums, caramel and pine-needles but finishes really bitter of grapefruit, currant-leaves, lychee and blood oranges. Nearly full-bodied. Delicious!!! omhper (12260), Stockholm, Sweden

Intense floral grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet and compact, medium bodied with fairly clean mouthfeel. Massive amounts of aromatic American hops gives salty viola, shampoo, lychee and grapefruit. The alcohol is well hidden, and the bitterness drowns in black currant and other hop aromatics. US West Coast style - and good! rlgk (3378), Vårgårda, Sweden

Nice fruity, hoppy grassy aroma. Huge bitter flavor, grassy and metallic with fruits and some citrus. Long bitter finish and with well hidden alcohol, Egon (399), Gothenburg, Sweden
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Draught. Dark amber with white head. First thing when I nosed on the glass was candy. The sweetness from the alcohol and malt dominates the bitterness from the hops in any case but the hops are there! I really liked this beer but it is a bit too strong to take two of in the same sitting. Moz (613), Gothenburg, Sweden

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 28, 2008 On draught at the brewery.
Deep amber colour with medium-sized beige head. Big floral aroma along with citrus and pine. Very steady body with jellyish mouthfeel and a HUGE hop flavour - this beer is green from hops by all means. Am I in San Diego? Still good malty, with lots of sweet fruits. 80 IBU’s is hardly noticed after that insane amount of flavouring hops. The bitterness just lurks behind the sweetness. A brutal beer!
