Nose of orange and watermellon, lots of hops and hop sweetness. I’m chewing on hops (literally). The flavor is so, so hoppy, very light toasty malts, no body. <font size=+4>C’MON!</font> Where is the focus here? Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA

5/22/07 Cask. Had a good pine aroma and something else. Wife took a whiff and said it is odd aroma but couldn’t figure it out also. Even the bartender can smell it from the cask to glass and notices it. Well not offencive by any means just wish knew what it was. Thicker body texture than oringinal Hop Father but a good vine grapefruit flavor. Left more a juice aftertaste on palate. Good brew.
