91009 bottle 0.5l - Color of apple cider, orange & brown combined. One finger of off white head, smallest of bubbles. Pine and citrus on nose, not room filling but plenty strong up close. Light and watery mouthfeel, yet more than enough malt to support the hop oils. Bitter finish. Top notch.

Dec 29, 2009 Wow! Not my usual style, but very nice. High quality hops on the nose. Forest, citrus fruits and a wisp of smoke and hearth. Surprisingly smooth on the palate with burst of complex flavors. Long finish. Very impressive.

Dec 26, 2009 three day old growler provided by my commis austin. 11/27/2009.
pours a rich golden color with a substantial off white head.
a blast of floral hops hits the nose first.... followed by grapefruit, rosemary, resinous pine needles, mild pale malt richness and earthy spice.
the flavor mirrors the aroma... incredibly fresh, dry and hoppy yet so well balanced somehow.
it is medium bodied but rather thin considering the abv% and how much flavor is packed in here. so quaffable and refreshing! 9/3/8/5/17/4.2

Dec 22, 2009 Well crafted and ridiculously drinkable for its strength. Pale Amber, nice head. Aromas of grapfruit and tobacco leaves.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Pours a sickly yellow with just a little bit of floaters. Huge pine hop aroma. The aroma writes a check the the taste can’t cash, but it’s still pretty good. Pine, hops, caramel, and a little citrus. Great mouthfeel with a warm alcohol finish.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle in my secret Santa box from alagnak. Clear golden pour with tiny nodules of sediment floating in it. Aroma is huge hops, very fat and lush. Surprisingly smooth upfront for the amount of hops on the nose. Taste is smooth hops with a full richness to it. Very complex and quite enjoyable. Intense to say the least.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Smells extremely hoppy, but of course, its a double. It has a nice light golden color and is rather cloudy. So hoppy it made me sneeze 3 times. It has all the elements of a solid double IPA, but I haven’t acquired the taste for it yet.

Lots of sweet, resiny hops along with citrus and tropical fruit. Delicious flavour is very hoppy but oh so easy to drink. Long bitter finish. Great body for the style. Simply amazing -- thanks for sharing garthicus, I’ve been wanting to try this for years!
