Aroma is vine-y green hops with a bit of sweet fruit. Taste is well attenuated but the hops are stripped away. A bit empty on the flavor. Stick to the sour stuff guys. 22oz bottle, New Belgium snifter/goblet glass. mreusch (734), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2008 22oz. bomber, with thanks to BeastieFan2K. Pours a clear goldenish amber with a creamy off-white head, minimal lace. Aroma is nice, with pine/resin, and some citrus. Flavor is more tongue scraping and rough, which kind of kills the additional pine and citrus on the flavor. A bit rough around the edges and imbalanced, not bad, but none too exciting. Thanks again for sharing Eugene! wu1000k (12), Texas, USA

Aroma is fruity/citrus, crisp, and moderately hoppy... reminds me of Stone IPA with with a bit more pine. Color is a thinnish amber with thin white head. Taste is fruity hops with slightly sweet malt and a moderate hop bite that lingers, but overall taste seems somewhat thin given that i’m viewing this through the lens of ’DIPA’. Quite drinkable, would probably make for a solid DIPA if the flavor wasn’t as thin. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 On tap. Pours a clear slightly thin looking amber color with a light offwhite to white head. Smell is clean with fresh, fruity hops and an overall very nice perfumey nose. Taste is very clean pine and citrusy and fruity hops with a moderately sweet malty backbone and a lingering light bitterness to keep it in check throughout the finish. A bit thin overall and slightly sweet, but the clean piney hops balance enough. Extremely drinkable, but a touch on the thin side. Still a decent beer and a somewhat friendly DIPA.
