Bottle shared with Sparky27...thanks Eric!!! Golden orange pour with a significant amount of sediment and a fluffy white head that left lacing. All grapefruit and citrus here...minimal pine presence in the nose or flavor. Medium mouthfeel. A good brew.

Bottle: Pours a muddy orange color with a large white head. Nose is huge in the peach, mango and grapefruit dept. Somewhat of a biscuity malt backbone is apparent. Sticky body, flavor is crisp, grapefruit, peach and light bread. Good brew.

330 ml bottle. It poured a cloudy amber liquid with a huge foam that left lots of lacing. It had a strong fruity smell of passion fruit, peaches and some hops. Very nice and appealing. The first sip felt wonderfull in my mouth, very smooth and lean. Had a medium bitterness and a taste of fruity hops. Very nice!

Tons of caramely-pine flavor with a fairly pleasant aftertaste and dry finish that is to be expected from any decent IPA. It certainly hides the 6.9% ABV pretty well, but to be honest, I was expecting a little more from a Belgian IPA. Tastes very much like Dogfish Head 60 Minute but with a very slight tweak that I can’t quite put my finger on. Given that this was not the easiest beer to track down, I’ll stick with 60 Minute.

Bottle, 33cl - Clear slightly hazy amber orange beer with a large frothy head. Aroma is malty with notes of litchi and fatty grassy hops. Flavor is sweet with fruity notes of litchi, caramel and hops. Medium bodied and dry. Real good IPA!

Bottle from Pizza Port Carlsbad bottle shop: Hazy golden-ambeer color with floaties and a huge frothy white head. Aroma is citrus, pine and sweat. Flavor starts with a sharp bitterness and grassy notes followed by a dry grassy grapefruit bitter finish. Medium body has moderate carbonation.

Pours hazy amber with a thick foamy off-white head. Sweet pine and citrus aroma. Taste is bitter resin but balanced well by malt. Great beer and I wish more brewers could make single hop beers this full flavored.

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of intense grapefruit, light resin. Tastes citrussy and lightly bitter with a slightly caramelly finish.
