Slightly hazy golden pour with fair lair of white head. Aroma of pineapple and pine hop. Flavor is much the same, but with some medicinal esters. Massively bitter lingering aftertaste.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2009 22oz from wavers1 - thanks, Baker! Pour is nice and thick, slightly cloudy pale orange with a modest head. Nice aroma of bitter hops and some intense malts. Might be some age on this, but it’s been a while since I last had it, so this might be the normal character. Very full and pleasantly lingering mouthfeel. Flavor is pine and citrus at the front, but backs off quickly to bready malt, kinda like aged Bigfoot. Burnt sugar and caramel mixed with grapefruity hops. Pretty solid, but I need to rerate if this is in fact not fresh. monkeychugg55 (232), Joliet, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper orange with a nice frothy, off white head that leaves some large sheets of lace. Huge hop aroma; pineapple, pine, grapefruit, citrus, and a touch of sweet malt. Flavor is similar, super hoppy with thin sweet malt. Although this is not well balanced, it is in fact hopalicious. Sweet and tropical at first, then slowly fades into a super bitter alpha acid orgy. Medium bodied at best with light carbonation. milewide (611), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Cloudy orange with a cream lacing head. This beer has a very hoppy aroma with citrus hints. The taste is hoppppppy -- this is a good thing and ends with a bitter finish. Not my favorite, but I would buy again. ChristianScheffel (4527), Odense, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Tap at Flying Saucer Houston. Smells of pine, taste is bitter and hoppy. I wasn’t terribly impressed, it was to be expected but it was a one sided IPA.
