Mar 4, 2009 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Gold with a slight tinge of amber. Off-white head leaves wet lacing. Aroma is kind of faint, with notes of grapefruit and pale malt. Flavor is weak. This would be better categorized as an APA if not for the abv. Modest crackery malt base with a slight caramel character. Watery citrus hoppiness with some astringency and almost negligible bitterness. What the hell was the yeast eating during fermentation to put out 7% alcohol? Thin mouthfeel and decent carbonation. Bo ring.

Feb 23, 2009 Dark Golden color pour, with a 2 finger head. Aroma = i can smell alot of hops obviously, citrus, piney, pretty clean smelling. Taste is about what I expected, starts just a little sweet then has a Big hoppy taste, although not tooooo bitter, which is perfect for me as im just now starting to come around to more bitter beers. Has a pretty good balance for an IPA i thought, but again im just getting into the style so im not experienced enough yet to make that call for sure. Overall Im liking this beer, and would drink again.

Feb 22, 2009 clear gold/orange color, medium off-white head, nice lace. nose of citrus, grapefruit hops, hint of sweet malt. flavor is creamy, grapefruity, piney, with a trace of underarm. medium bodied, bitter finish. nice brew, well hidden alcohol. not sure of the "hop monster" moniker in the commercial description, but respectable nonetheless. thanks to cornfield for the bottle.

Feb 21, 2009 12 oz bottle; I’m not going to lie - this rating is totally biased considering I just drank three Kalamazoo Bell’s Hopslam (double IPA) It’s very weak compared to that obviously! So, I’ll take it for what it’s worth. When I poured the beer in my glass it looked very nice with an amber red body and a nice white head. The aroma isn’t much to talk about as it reminds me of your typical domestic lager. As for the flavor, there’s too much citrus and not enough hops for this to be an IPA. Decent beer... I like the 7.1%!
