Commercial Description:
Like its namesake, this strong ale is known for the sneak attack. Hop-heads will enjoy its assertive bitterness and huge floral, dry hop aroma.

(On tap) Pale amber with a delicate, creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Fruity, grapefruity, hoppy nose. Medium body with some caramel, but overwhelmingly dominated by lovely aroma hops leaving quite some bitterness in the finish. 010406

Slightly hazy light amber. The hop nose mixes marijuana and grapefruit. Creamy body is very bitter. Lots of woody, citrusy hop. Delicious. I wasn’t as impressed with the Triple-Hopped version that came out of the cask. That had an even creamier body that really just brought out too much sweetness; the nose also did not explode out of the glass as much. 7-3-6-3-13 = 3.2

On tap at the 2005 GCBC: Pours a clear deep golden color with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma has lots of pine and lemony citrus hops with mild light caramel malt. Body starts lightly sweet and pale malty with a very nice, fresh hoppy balance. Finishes crisp, dry and bittersweet. A very nice IPA.

This beer rocks! Crystal clear, deep golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention and good lacing. The nose is of white pepper, pine sap, grapefruit and cotton candy. Well-balanced, sweet and malty flavor up front. Bitter, tart and citrusy on the backside. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, tart, lightly bitter, astringent finish. World class brew!
