Nov 12, 2004 Man o’ man this stuff good! Clear light amber-golden body. Massive hop aroma, pine, citurs you name it. Some very lucious. And the flavor is stunning, mix of pine and grapefruit with a good backing of sweet malt. It just dances around the mouth exploding with flavor. The palate is perfect for the style, full dry but somehow slightly sticky, tingling, with a crisp clean finsih. Find it try it love it!

Nov 12, 2004 Clear gold. Nose hoppy and a bit fruity. Burst of hops upfront, tart and citric, plenty of grapefruit. Good malt backbone as well. Full palate, coating and sticky. Quite nice.

Oct 20, 2004 Having Vinny pouring and just watching him struggle w/ randalizer whilst being verbally abused by Sam Calgione was almost as good as drinking this. Almost. What an aroma as you might expect, but with fresh hops all over the floor and hanging in the air it was just magnified. What a delight.

Oct 14, 2004 Updated: Nov 28, 2004(Cask Draft: O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) Wow, what an aroma! Massive hops smells like fresh, tart passion fruit, and I love passion fruit, so 10 on aroma! And man, this goes down easy. Starts off fruity and hoppy, nicely balanced, then ends in strong grapefruit. Very smooth on the palate, and medium bodied. Golden in color and fairly cloudy. Off-white head is large and puffy. Excellent retention. Lots of random lacing. (27-Sep-04)
(Draft: Wet Hop Beer Festival, O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) My first rating for this beer was on cask, but this was on regular draft, and it’s not as good, though still one of the best beers in this Wet Hop Festival. The flavor is strong, fresh hops that impart a moderate bitterness with lots of grapefruit. It’s also subtly malty and mildly sweet, but the malt provides a solid base for the hops. Strong hops nose is very fresh and somewhat sweet. Medium bodied, very clean, crisp and refreshing on the palate. Light gold color. Off-white head is smallish and bubbly, leaving a fairly dense blanket of lace. Ratings are for when I had this beer on cask. (20-Nov-04)

Sep 28, 2004 This brew poours with a cloudy pale golden body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing. The hoppy aroma is slightly sweet and grapefruity with a nice apricot note...a very nice aroma. The flavor is sweet yet tangy and citrusy with a nice malt note and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, very smooth and a touch dry.

Jan 12, 2003 Small weak floral nose, let it warm....still weak....first sip....WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?? Huge grapefuit explosion of bitterness. Grainy mouthfeel with lots of hopflower charactor. A bit nutty leaveing a nice bittering on the sides of the tongue along with some carmel maltieness and a little juniper in the finish.
