Appearance: Thin light haze , amber toned with medium creamy top.. Nose : All out massive attack of west hop aromas. Dominant alpha s. Light hint of vanilla pushing trough. Citrus with warm alcohol ending.8- Flavor/Palate : Full bodied ale. Frontal assault of hops. Think of organic juice made from freshly mashed, diced and sliced hops….Hop heads will be in heaven. In time alcohol slowly incoming and sinks with rest. Go bold is the motto here.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bottle with a big THANK YOU to Tyler (tytoanderso) for this incredibly generous bonus! Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a towering off-white head and great lacing. Aroma is absolutely bursting with hops - lots of floral, citrus, pine, grapefruit and grass, but oddly there seems to be too much going on, which creates a distracting blend of hops aromas. Flavor is more of the hops with a nice bite, but well balanced against a caramelly malt backbone. Well done overall, but found the aroma to be a bit off-putting.
