May 7, 2009 Smells like hops, pine, citrus, and heaven.
Looks medium/dark golden.
Head is fluffy and falls fast leaving behind substantial lacing.
Tastes like a DIPA. Tons of bitter hops, pine, sour citrus, the bitterness sticks to your lips. I’ve actually never had an IPA with this aggressive of flavors.
Perfect levels of carbonation.
I’m so in love with beer I’d let that blind pig on the label sodomize me with his white cane. I know he’d never call me again, and it wouldn’t matter. I would have gotten what I wanted, his light juicy goodness. Mmmm

May 7, 2009 Centennial hops... has to be. This one is awfully close to Bell’s 2 Hearted or Ballast Point Big Eye IPA.
Pours slightly hazy golden hue with contrasting white head.
Nose is quite aromatic with pineapple and grapefruity, and grassy.
Palate is pleasantly sharp with hops up front, centennial is my guess, and leads into waves of tangy grapefruit and a light honeyed malt in the distant background. Very citrusy, grassy, and drinkable.

May 4, 2009 Updated: May 11, 2009Pours a hazy golden color with a two finger thick pure white head that remains. Smells of terrific hops, citrus fruits, sweet lemons, and pine. Some earthy grass also prevalent. Tastes of rich citrus, deep earth tones, and wonderful bitter hops. Finishes delicately bitter and wonderful!

May 2, 2009 Pours a golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is straight out citrus with some earthy hop scents. The taste is much the same--fairly one dimensional overall, but the flavor is really nice for a single ipa.

May 2, 2009 Bottle thanks to DuffManSW. Copper-gold pour with a big, rocky, white head. Nice floral, citrus aroma with a great balance of caramel and biscuit malts. Dry, piny, grassy flavor with nice citrus notes and a well balanced biscuit and caramel malt profile. Creamy, medium body with very soft carbonation.

May 2, 2009 Bottle: The highlight of the IPA samples series, after a few IPA samples (and losing the numbness) we tasted this one with ramenen. Bold, lots of pine, resin, grass surprisingly dry non of the oiliness one might expect. Clear with lots of fragments floating around.
