Nov 2, 2007 Bottle. (2007 release). Pours a hazy orange with a big, cloudy head. Aromas are decidedly hoppy: pine, pineapple and grapefruit are dominant with some floral hops undercurrents. Flavor is hop heavy as well. Pine and grapefruit peel are the main draws. As it warms a bit, the malt body becomes more pronounced and it starts to balance a little better. Really enjoyable.

Nov 2, 2007 Hazy, light yellow appearance. Aroma of hops. Strong hop flavor, although given some others available, I don’t know if it really reaches "intense."

Nov 2, 2007 Pours a nice golden color with a nice frothy, rocky head. Smell is all hops. Piney, grassy and just a bit juicy. Taste is bittering hops. Pretty rough and bittering in the taste. An easy drinkier, but seems a bit out of balance. A bunch of hops that don’t mesh well with the rest of the beer. The malty backbone does not seem to be there to support. An easy drinker, but rather one dimensional and not complex.

Nov 1, 2007 Bottle from City Beer Store. Deep yellow color, lots of high-contrast white bubbles, fluffy white head. Big citrus and pine hop aroma, some butter, florals. Taste has floral, grass, creamy, quite bitter piney finish. Extremely strange taste overall--seems like it’s missing something, probably the malt. More like a toned-down DIPA than anything.

Nov 1, 2007 12 oz. bottle. 2007 vintage. Pours a hazy, cloudy yellow. Thin, off white head. Aroma of sticky, piney hops. Mouthfeel is nice from the start. Floral hop bitterness gives way to a mildly sweet malt finish. Really good beer, love the hops. Could drink this all night long

Nov 1, 2007 Updated: May 26, 2009Walked into the store down the street from me in Kenmore Square, didn’t think I’d find this, but I did. Full of flavor and aromas. A fantastic experience. Hazy color, VERY intense hop taste.

Oct 31, 2007 I would not call this An Intense Hop Experience like it says on the bottle. Decent??? Yes. Intense?? Nope. Pours a medium orange / amber with an aberage sized head. Aroma and flavor is bitter hops, malts, grapefruit. It is sort of a sticky body which is nice. Pretty decent.

Oct 31, 2007 immediate aroma of hops, with a bit of citrus. Poured a hazy yellow, with little to no head. Flavor was overwhelmingly hoppy, i’m generally not a fan but this hops was fantastic. Finished very crisp, reminds me of the Sierra Nevada IPA. Over all an excellent beer/
