May 2, 2009 22oz bottle. Thanks Stefan. Pours a clear golden/amber with a small white head and lacings. Nose is sweet and hoppy. Buiscuit, pine and citrus. Taste is balanced. Power hoppy yet some malts that shows. Hop juices. Orange and grapefruit. Dry power bitter and lasting end. A hop bomb for sure.

Apr 28, 2009 Nice bright haze orange color. Thin head that fades away quickly. Lovely appearance. Wow, this thing has a hug bittering hop. It will knock your socks off! Just full of pine and citrus aromas/flavors! Slight alcohol burn. Very pungent aroma of hops; maily citrus and pine. Slight sweet caramel to balance out the aroma and flavor. The aroma has more of the Earthy pine aroma than citrus. Malt sweetness begins to come through even compare to the hops as the beer warms up. The bittering hop is not eliminated by this last fact. Nice smooth palate. Overall, very nice and bitter beer with some malts to balance it out.

Source: 22 oz bottle purchased in Washington DC.
Glass: Poured into my Karmeliet tulip glass.
Appearance: Poured a hazy amber/gold color with a one finger white head.
Aroma: Heavy with pine and citrus, mainly grapefruit. Very clean.
Flavor: Solid malt backbone, but the hops are the star. Sticky pine and citrus all over the place. Well integrated..
Palate: Medium/full body with solid carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel.
Overall: Great IIPA. Nothing subtle about this one. All hops, but very clean.

Apr 25, 2009 On tap at the Bocktown, nice place. Looks like pale american lager. Smells line pine tree sap. Bitter sappy oily initial palate. Hey, did you wash the dish soap out of this glass? Wew, way too in yer face. Needs manners. Ruining and roto-tilling my taste buds. Has some surprizing carbonation. Did you ever chew on green grapefruit rinds? Later dude, Rude and crude finish. On style.

Apr 24, 2009 Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a low lasting sticky white foam. Bright and really hoppy aroma of lychee, flowers, orange-peels and grapefruit: Medium to full-bodied with notes of pine-needles, grass, grapefruit with sweetish undertones of tangerine. Clean mouthfeel. Long bitter finish of grapefruit and resin with touches of peppery alcohol.l

Apr 22, 2009 Bottle. Thick with hop funk aroma...floral, grapefruit and pine blast out of the bottle. Nice clear amber colour with a good lacing that sticks to the glass like taffy. Robust flavour profile with chewy, complex hop complexities. Alcohol well integrated. Tongue puckering hop bitterness lingers for a very long time. Loved it!

Apr 18, 2009 On tap. Springy floral aroma and a persistent light head. The flavor is all out varied hops, pine and grapefruit. It is a little dry and hides the 9.2 ABV well, but it is a touch harsh and shellacky, as if you could use it on your deck or something. But this is still a good IPA.
