Bottle. Pours an orange amber body with an off white head. Lots of floral hops, piny, citrus with a moderate amount of caramel malts. Some nice fresh hop character a hint of pineapple and some light spicy resins. Good brew fresh.

Taste 4/9 bottle. Looks: Clear caramel body with a nice two finger vanilla top. Aroma: Really nice and fragrant hop mix. Taste: Man, that is a lot of hops. The varieties used make it different than most IIPAs.

Sometimes I wave to people I don’t know. It’s very dangerous to wave to someone you don’t know because what if they don’t have a hand? They’ll think you’re cocky. "Look what I got motherfucker! This thing is useful. I’m gonna go pick something up!"

Amber/Copperish pour with an off-white head that lingers. Good retention. Sticky looking lace. Delicious appearance. Aroma is fresh pineapple, pine tree. Flavor starts off grapefruit with pineapple right behind it in the middle, finishing with just a touch of the malty sweetness. Bitter all the way through. Average carbonation, medium body. Amazing finish - feels like my mouth is stuffed with fresh hops. At $10.99, I didn’t think it would be worth it. I was wrong, what a fool I am.

Bottled 650ml. Courtesy of badlizard. Appearance: It pours a clear bright amber beer with a small off white head. Good lacework. Aroma: Very hoppy. I don’t now if there this beer has been brewed (or used to be brewed) with Tomahawk, but there is definately a lovely hop profile to it. source: http://www.moylans.com/site/pages/brewery/beer.php. Hints of devonshire cream, grapefruit, hop resin, peach and apricot. Flavor and palate: Very good. Strong bitterness which is balanced by a good caramel presence. The finish reminds me of chewing on a leaf of sage. Overall impression: There no such thing as a triple IPA. Good description though. Very hoppy. Not a far cry from other Imperial IPAs, just simply flawless. I wish I could buy such good beers here in Switzerland. Thanks a lot badlizard!

courtesy of beerbeagle. Pours golden, white head. Aroma hoppy with strong floral scents. Taste, hoppy and fruity with a malty balance. Floral and caramel, alcohol comes forward.
