Jan 12, 2008 Pours with an enormous, pillowy head. Extremely hazy chestnut body. Almondy, yeasty aroma, moderately hoppy, some brown sugar. Obvious English hops character. Flavor is intially laced with caramel malt, brown sugar, and then transitions into the hoppy aspects. Dusty, slightly celery-ish hoppiness. Very sharply carbonated, as expected from the abundant head. The carbonation and some solventy aspects draw away from this.

Jan 11, 2008 Appears a hazy, light orange with a huge, creamy, chunky head of white sea foam that sticks around for the entire duration. Tons of chunky lacing is left all around the glass.
Smell is of orange, earthy grapefruit, light pine, sweet caramel, and flowers.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with more of a doughy batter mixed with flowers, sugar, grain, and sugar.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, semi-sweet with brown sugar, and bitter of floral leaves.

Jan 6, 2008 22 oz bottle. Bright orange with a gluey and big head. The aroma is nice -- fruity and piney. The flavor is heavily leaning toward the hops as you’d expect ... quite sharp and metallic, even stinging. The body is a bit thinner than I’d have guess. The overarching impression here is in the biting hop bitterness. It defines this beer. (#3275, 1/6/2008)

Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Feb 25, 2008Draft @ brewery. deep golden color and solid aroma. Initial malt sweetness progresses into a nice burst of hops and then a nice dry finish. This has a wonderful overall flavor and I rated it as the best beer from my visit, ALTHOUGH there was no Hopsickle when I was there.

Dec 23, 2007 Wow. 22 oz bomber. Nice orangish color. Decent head. Hoppy citrus nose. HUGE pine/grapefruit/hop flavor which does diminish as it warms. Most beers I have tried with this much flavor are in the 8-9% range.
At $3 and change a bomber WELL worth it.
