Nov 30, 2008 Pours a bright clear gold/orange with fluffy head. Bitter piney hops, resinous, grapefruit, floral, hints of spice, and bready malt. Somce caramel, and this beer is cleaner and easier to drink then expected. Very good.

May 25, 2004 I had four IPAs at O’Briens in one night and this was the highlight. Very hoppy beer in both aroma and flavor, but what made this one great was the in the background malt presence. Really brought some balance to this beer and made it great.

Jul 14, 2007 Draft at Stone Brewery. I think this was my favorite beer of the day. Very nice hop aroma. Flavors of pine, citrus, floral hops; quite bitter but still good tasting. Good balance etc.

Apr 29, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of tons of hops and more hops. Flavor is also just plain hops but comp-lex because of all the different types of hops in it. good but not nearly the greatness of Hopslam.

Mar 8, 2006 On tap in Solana Beach. Amber coloring with a tall, creamy white head. Uber-hoppy aroma is dripping of tropical fruits like papaya and mango, which is accompanied by the wonderfully citrusy hoppy note. Texture is a touch creamy with a fruity, sticky quality. Tropical fruit flavors really crowd the tongue in a pleasurable fashion, only to be washed clean with the crisp wallop of a hop finish. Leaves me licking my chops for more, while enjoying the hops tingle on the edges of my tongue.

Jan 29, 2008 Grassy meadow notes with orange and pineapple in the nose. hazy orange with brown in the edges and a creamy 2 finger head that settled to a dense 1/2 inch. beautiful. more sweet ripe orange in the sip with mango and passion fruit, and a swirl of bitter intensities in the finish. the solid malt foundation approaches sticky but is scrubbed down by the abrasiveness of the hops. This really is amazing.

May 12, 2009 Updated: Nov 7, 2009Bottle at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum. Pours a hazy apricot gold with a medium white head. Pine, pineapple, vanilla, and sweety honeyed malt on the nose. Medium bodied and malty and just a balancing touch sweet. Ends with a very good grapefruit and quinine bitterness. Another one of the better ones for the day. Darn tasty.

Rerated without remembering that I’d had it before: Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with small white floaties and a medium sized toffee hued beige. Large pine, citrus, mango and pineapple, grapefruit aromas. Medium bodied, caramel, slightly oxidized malt, earthy hop bitterness. Slow quinine bitter finish. Very well done.
