GABF 2007: Poured a clear golden color with a large off-white head. Big hop forward aroma. Grapefruit and tangerine juice. It smelled like fresh pulp. The flavor was also like tasting citrus and orange pulp. The beer had a malty middle. The sweetness drys out quickly. The finish had a growing bitterness. Medium bodied.

GABF ’07. Pours clear amber with a large, frothy, off-white head, lasting lacing with excellent lacing. Aroma is average malt (hay, straw, meal), heavy hops (perfume, pine, spruce), average yeast (sweat) with notes of light alcohol, pear, and pineapple. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitter finish.

2007 GABF. Light copper color big khaki head, nice lace. More mellow aroma than the hopnotic, berries start coming through, caramel, sweet. Avg pal. Sweet fruity tropical fruit & caramel, flavor. Mellow and nice.. surprising how much the icing improved this guy.

GABF 2007. A big, sticky brew. Very nice, but there’s an off flavor here that detracts from the overall flavor.

Draft at the brewery. Clear golden with nice white head. Aromas were sweet right from the start. Lots of sweet mango and pineapple and other bright citrus aromas. Flavor continued into sweet. Very very Chewy and resiny. Lots of citrus and grassy hops on the finish. I really like the sweet DIPA’s. Good stuff.
