May 18, 2009 Cask at Trappeze. Pours clear orange, with an amber tint. Aroma of big citrus hops, and light malt backing. Really fresh. Taste is also very hop-forward, with lots of citrus - grapefruit, lemon, orange, pineapple - and some mild malt in the background. Finish is nicely bitter. The mouth is great on cask, not too carbonated. Overall, a very enjoyable hoppy pale ale.

May 18, 2009 Strong hop nose, just comes right out of the bottle. Definetly an IPA despite the labeling, very full hop palette, ctirus but full.

May 17, 2009 A+++ for the huge citrus aroma that makes you hesitate before you take a sip. Light caramel malts try to balance the overwhelming hops, but to no avail. At 73 IBUS and 6.3% ABV, it’s really enjoyable for hop lovers, but many will find it under balanced.

May 17, 2009 22 oz bomber from Market of Choice. Pours out a deep amber with a big white, decently long lasting head. Aroma is pure citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, orange, light lemon. A hint of malt in there as well. Flavor is also extremely citric, very juicy with a mild caramel malt feel. As others have stated, it tastes much like a milder version of Hop Stoopid. (I drank them back to back last night actually). Another winner from the gang at Lagunitas.

May 17, 2009 Updated: Aug 9, 2009(bottle) Pours an orange amber with a nice white head. Aroma of grass, pine, citrus (grapefruit, orange, lemon), and very floral hops. Flavor has a bright acidity, fruity, lots of hops, and some caramel on the back and aftertaste. Medium bodied.

May 16, 2009 Aroma was delicious, citrus, floral, herbal, tart. Flavor overall had a kind of deep bitterness that was resinous, but did not linger and was not harsh like dry hopped beers. Fruity, citrus, grapefruit. Piney, resinous. Problem: body. Was a bit thin on the palate, could’ve used some more viscosity.

May 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a orangish gold with a nice fluffy head and aromas of pine and pineapple. Flavor is a lovely mix of light malt and crisp hops. This is refreshing and crisp and I wish I had a second.

May 16, 2009 Clear bright gold, powerful fresh pineapple aromatic hoppy burst on the nose. Hop forward in character, doughy malt in the background, very clean. Simple in design, but I really dig this. Malt character sticks around.
