Oct 11, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Palate wrecker? Big talk, let see if the beer backs it up. Aroma is hoppy, piney, lots of grapefruit. Pretty strong hoppy flavor. Sweet, alcoholic, and citrus hops. KInd of a sticky mouthfeel. Better than their normal DIPA. Then again, I’m not sure my palate is wrecked.

Oct 8, 2009 Draft at Toronado SD. Pours a dark amber with off-white head. Strong sticky hop aroma of resin, grass, pine, and bitter grapefruit. Taste is -- not surprisingly -- more strong hop flavors: big bitter grapefruit, sticky pine/resin, and spicy hops. Quite bitter but somehow still well-balanced with some semi-sweet malt tones. Nice lingering bitterness in the finish. The high ABV is not noticeable.

Oct 3, 2009 GABF 2009: Monster hops. Monster alcohol, too, with an interesting, malt liquor-like quality. Sweet malt base. Grassy and flowery hop aromas. Bitterly beautiful.

Sep 28, 2009 Had this on tap at GABF ’09. Slightly hazy orangish-copper color with a medium white head. Aroma is floral and citrusy hops, sweet malt, and some fruity esters. Flavor is mildly sweet pale and caramel malt along with citrusy and resiny hops, pineapple and grapefruit. Hop character not unlike other GF IPAs. This is good but there are much more palate-wrecking beers out there. Body is medium with some hoppy oiliness and lingering bitterness on the palate.

Sep 21, 2009 I liked this beer. Super potent with great hops kick. Dark orange pour with a mildly bubbly white head. Nose of pine and citrus. Notes of grapefruit in the flavor and a strong hops presence with slight malt. Pretty smooth on the go-down. Really tasty. Had this on tap at Rattle and Hum in NYC.

Sep 17, 2009 Updated: Sep 18, 2009On tap at rattle and hum. Greenflash guys were at the bar so I know it’s not gone bad tho I thought I was.. Bronze and orange color. Smell is malts and sweaty left ball sack (Charles C). Taste is strongly of hops, fish, and strong cereals. I really would never get this again.
