Oct 17, 2008 Pours with an amber body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing left on the glass. Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy with notes of grafruit, pine and apricot as an underlying malt sweetness. Full bodied, smooth and warming.

Oct 27, 2008 Umm, wow. Pours hazy orange-gold with an impressive short-but-thick white head. Colossal citrus/floral hop aroma. Grapefruit and pine oil just pound you in the face. The taste surpasses the nose. Grapefruit, pineapple, mango, and truckloads of resin. A tad more citrus than earthy pine, but who cares. Just a little caramel malt to give it a hint of sweetness. I really have to thank the Green Flash guys for not making the chronic mistake of putting too much malt in and making this a sour-candy DIPA. Its nearly perfect the way it is.

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.

Dec 19, 2009 Tap at Beachwood. Pours with a nearly clear amber body and a off-white head that leaves perfect rings of lace. Aroma is hoppy with dank stickiness, bitter orange and overall, beautiful herbaceousness. Taste is herbal, bitter and awesomely hoppy. Medium carbonation. Great!

Oct 23, 2008 On-tap at Hamilton’s and O’Briens. Pours hazy amber with a frothy white head, good lace. Smells citrusy and potent hoppy sweet and resiny. Hate to say it but it reminds of PtY, in a good way for sure. Tastes big and resiny hoppy, earthy with big, dark citrus as well. Lots of bitter citrus flavor, complex and lingering. This stuff is hop syrup for sure! Full, syrupy body, good carbonation.

Dec 6, 2008 On tap at the 2008 Strong Ale Festival. Cask. What a great name! Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, floral hops, and pine. Tastes of the same citrus, pine and a lighter maltiness. Nicely bitter.

Nov 29, 2008 On tap at the San Diego’s Brewers guild festival. There was a strong aroma of citrus and pine and the very same could be said about the flavor too. Also noted is a bitter and overbearing presence of hops which to me brings extreme pleasure to my taste buds. The hops are fresh and green and multiplied times three. Metallic finish on this one.
