May 3, 2009 Bottle at home. I have had this ale a number of times now. A copper coloured ale with a smallish head. Strong aroma of citrus, pine.... Malty and quite bitter but incredibly moreish. Hops really dominate throughout, alcohol not too noticeable despite 9.1%. A nicely balanced brew. Bloody excellent!

May 2, 2009 Bomber from Whole Foods (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly hazy dark amber to copper color with a massive foamy tan-white head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of pine, citrus, malt, caramel, honey, some hints of grapefruit and toffee. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of piney hops, malt, caramel, citrus, some hints of honey and bitter floral hops. Generally medium body with a pleasing malty and floral hop finish.

May 1, 2009 355ml bottle served lightly chilled in a trappist glass at Bar & Cigar in Oslo. Dense, but modest, off-white head resting on top of partial clear, dark amber body. Fine laceworks on the glass. Smell of smooth, piny hops and sweet malts. Rich hoppy flavour exploding in the mouth containing different kinds of fruity shells supported by caramel malts. Delicious and lingering endnotes of dry bitterness. Very enjoyable, but quite heavy to drink (Oslo, 28.04.2009).

Apr 30, 2009 Aromas of cut grass and pine. Almost like working in the yard without the sweat. Hop flavors evident on the front end. Finishes with a nice malt balance.

Apr 29, 2009 Pours a three finger cream head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Almost clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Grapefruit/pine nose. Flavor is sweet, hoppy grapefruit and pine. Lingering hoppy aftertaste. High ABV is hidden. $4.50 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

Apr 29, 2009 I could smell aromas of hops as soon as I cracked the bottle cap! Pours a deep amber with a very attractive thick and dense cream head. And then...ahhhh...the smell of wonderful quality hops! Smells of pine and sweet citrus fruits. Initially, it tastes the same as the aroma, sweet citrus fruits, but then it moves on to more earthy and piney characteristics. Very nice mouthfeel. It finishes wonderfully bitter. A nice DIPA.

Apr 28, 2009 22oz. bottle pours a crystal clear orange with only one finger of white head that left a strong lace trail on the glass.
Not a strong aroma, but the flowery hops do stand out. Taste is an assault of hops with a bitterness that lingers on the tongue. Not for the faint of heart, but one of the better IPAs for a fan of the style.
