Commercial Description:
Our hoppiest beer to date! This formidable India Pale Ale has a hop aroma that demands attention. The bold, citrus hop flavor is balanced by a dry malt character that makes this refreshing ale a true classic.

bottle thanks to Dakchur. deep amber pour with a thin beige head. grapefruit, malts and some earthy tones. heavy grapefruit flavor with some thick malts holding it together. some spice kicks in during the finish though.

Bottle at the black and white party december 2005. Pours an amber beer with a white head. Citrus hop character with a light caramel malt background. Lightly spicy with grapefruit. eh.

Bottle, actually no this was on tap as I recall at The Devils Alley, Philadelphia 17-11-08 Described as ‘Being brewed with ‘seven different types of hop, gives this medium bodied IPA a distinctive bite’ This beer poured mid amber with really good clarity. Another beer that was served a little too cold for my liking and so the expected hoppy nose was blunted somewhat. The first taste is well really lovely hops but you can tell that there are a number of different types all lending their own characteristics. There is a heavy perfumey taste and also a slightly numbing taste coming from this beer, I liked this beer but as it wasn’t mine it was quite swiftly taken back by Loz. A6 A5 F7 P5 Ov14 3.6

Bottle. Amber in color with a nice, pretty head. Sweet hoppy aroma- some floral, citrus, and pine... nice. Flavor is full of bittersweet cascade hops- but not overdone by any means. In fact, it’s nicely balanced- with a hint of tasty malts. A very nice beer.
