Oct 1, 2008 Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured hazy golden color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium to full body with a oily slick texture. Moderate to heavy bitter flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. Very good brew.

Jun 22, 2009 Gold-orange pour. Aroma of orange, apricots, grapefruit, and bitter plant, so strong on the hops. Tastes similar to all those above hop notes, with a little bready malt. Finishes earthy, floral, and bitter grapefruit aftertaste. Medium bodied and creamy. I hope you like hops, because you’ll get them, with just enough malt presence to make this drinkable.

May 10, 2009 Tasted 10/05/2009. 500ml bottle from beerstore.co.nz. Nice drop but I don’t think anything is going to compare that favourably to following a mint condition AleSmith IPA. Richer base malt, slightly more minerally, tending English almost, but with all the hop characters of a new world ale. Bluddy guid.

Dec 3, 2008 Updated: Mar 13, 2009500 ml. bottle. Pours a beautiful thick head which has good retention, followed by attractive lacing, over a golden body with many tiny floaters....nose is enormous with heavy bursts of pine, resin, grapefruit, ?vanilla....tastes of slight malts initially then the burst of grapefruit and resin, finishing with a relatively light lingering bitterness...mouth fell is medium. A well balanced and appropriately praised American style IPA. 12/3/2008

May 18, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Pours an orange/gold with a large foamy white head. An explosive hop aroma of melon, grapefruit and manderins - but a bit perfumy. More balanced on the palate, I’m quite surprised by the moderation of the hops. The malt is smoothless, though lacking a little in flavour, and merges ’like a zip’ with hops that are increasingly bitter in the finish. I’m not liking this as much as others, but still a very nice beer.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours gold with a white head. Smells of layered citrus, peppery and some caramel. Tastes citrussy and dry with a balanced bitterness on the finish.
