Thanks to the ever dapper <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=17831>magicbill for the pours -
It poured a hazy golden orange with a bubbling off-white head. The aroma was intense with sharp grapefruit, lemon zest, a bit of pine... and had a suggestion that sweet caramel lay underneath it all. Very nicely unbalanced flavor to this hop-head, almost tasting like a DIPA. The finish was a prolonged citric bitterness with a few shakes of pepper.

Pours a hazy murky dark yellow with a nice soapy white head. There is quite a bit of sediment in this one. Aroma of hops, malt, citrus. Flavor is hops, citrus, pine, resin, and lots of malt to balance it out, but not so much that it becomes overly sweet. Good IPA.

22oz bottle from Ughsmash pours cloudy medium-dark yellow with a white head. Nose of dank greens, nutty hops and a bit like caramel malt. Flavor is overipened pineapple and mango and green, leafy herbs. Medium to heavy bitterness, somewhat fresh but also has some wet bread/malt/nut flavor.

Pours a cloudy copper color, after rotating the bottle to stir up the sediment in the bottom. Nice foamy white head lasts a while. Great hoppy aroma with lots of citrus and pine. Very similar in taste, lots of hops with some malt. Quite bitter on the finish, with a hint of soapyness, but not in a bad way. Actually overall very good.
