Pours a golden orange with a white head. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit and some slight floral notes. Strong hop taste with grapefruit and pine. Finishes with a bitter citrusy taste.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours surprisingly light golden with a small white head. Aroma is a blend of citric fruits, though not overpowering, along with a spicy kick and a sweet caramel malt backbone. A bit grassy and herbal. Flavor starts very sweet and a bit honeyish. Quickly gains a citric and sharp piney character. Bitterness in the finish but not overpowering. Slightly oxidized hops but not too bad. Medium body and a fizzy carbonation. Pretty good stuff.

Dec 13, 2009 Super-hoppy, but highly drinkable ale. A green flash of intense hop flavors and aromas from the blend of great hops. This beer for sure is all about the hops.

Dec 4, 2009 Honey colored brew. Powerful pine sap aroma with a syrupy feel. Strong notes of herb, specifically oregano and rosemary, that balance out the hop character. A sweet and bitter flavor, nicely balanced and full bodied. Earthy and a subtly smoky with a nice hop bitterness. A nice but not overwhelmingly complex brew; definitely a winner.

Dec 4, 2009 Bomber. Thanks Cliff. Appearance is straight up clear gold with a lively white head. Aroma is bursting with resin. Pine sap, spruce, evergreen of all different sorts, grassy straw, earth, and a moderate spicy juicy weed character. Malt character is toasty and caramel-like in nature, though hops prevail overall. Flavor is extremely pungent and resinous- further proliferations of sap, citrus, earth, and evergreen abrade the palate. Malt sweetness is moderate but quite overtaken by the vicious hop character. Sappiness is sticky in nature, with an incredible smacking finish. Incredible rendering of the style.

Dec 4, 2009 Light amber pour with a frothy white head, small, but with good lacing. Aroma holds massive amounts of sap, pine resin; obvious use of Nugget hops in this guy. Good notes of booze and herb too, with notes of oregano, manure, and rosemary. Flavor is excellent; more evergreen, herb, and earth, but with more citrus presence, and a more distinct caramel malt feel as well. This beer is an absolute hop bomb, but is still balanced and goes down extraordinarily well. Mouthfeel is very good. Impressive DIPA.
