Bottled at Bishops Arms, Helsingborg. Hazy amber coloured with big nasty floaties. Rather hoppy aroma. Also quite hoppy flavour. Lightly yeasty when you pour the last of the bottle. Decent.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle.
Pours a weak orange with an aroma of Life Skills hops with autistic sweetness. Flavor makes me wanna give up on beer; it’s weak hops, hopleless malt, and plain boring. Watery mouthfeel. Sucks. Don’t bother.

Jul 4, 2008 In short: An intense resinous sharp IPA. Good stuff.
How: Tap at Hop Cat (Grand Rapids, Michigan)
The look: Clear copper body with a very small off-white head
In long: Caramel and citrus on the nose. Body is well malted, this is not a hop-juice beer. Round caramel, earthy citrus and earthy oranges. Truckload of malts balance by a tuckload of hops. Medium-high bitterness. My kind of IPA. Surprisingly I got some alcohol bite in the finish(!?!). A bit too drinkable, that thing is dangerous… High Seas are treacherous.

Jul 1, 2008 draft- nice piney/citrus aroma backup up by significant floral hop flavor. Enjoyed this one.

Jun 15, 2008 Hazy amber, but with a great frothy head. Mostly grapefruit aroma, but also a bit of pine. Taste follows the aroma profile, with a touch of sweetness and a nice, not overwhelming alcohol finish. I was ambivalent about the first couple of bottles in the sixer, but its really grown on me. Definitely is MBC’s best offering with the exception of their exemplary Imperial Stout and Imperial IPA.

Jun 2, 2008 Tasted 5/31/08. 12oz bottle. Hazy with a dark amber hue. Off white ring of head. Sweet aromas of grapefruit melons and apricot. Good hoppy aromas. Medium bodied with sweet malts. Sugary sweetness. Nice bitterness with a lingering finish. Mild malt character. Tart and all hops. Good amount of well masked alcohol. Decent.
