Commercial Description:
This ale marks our journey to the only place on the planet where fresh hops are harvested in our spring, the Southern Hemisphere. Our task was daunting-we needed to get the hops picked, dried, flown halfway across the world and into our brew kettle in a little over a week's time. The result is a North-by-South fusion of fresh New Zealand hops blended with the finest North American malts. Its robust hop character presents an intriguing floral-citrus aroma leading to layers of fresh-hop spiciness. Enjoy!

This bottle has 2nd release 2009 on label. Looking for an IPA to replace Founders, Stone failed (but I like). This was a good drink, light refreshing but not was I hoped. Kinda sweet citrus with the hops more in back, dry afterwards.

Keg at the White Horse’s American Beer Festival 2009. Nice aroma of lemon and hops with a floral quality as well. Really refreshing citrus flavour and long finish as well. There’s a great, fresh mouth feel to it. A perfect summer beer.

Had a pint tonight at Sunswick in Queens, NYC. Pours a nice, rich copper color. Mild head. The aroma is all hops and the flavor follows up strongly. Hoppy, bitter and with a mild bite. Finished smooth. Tasty.

Bottle 71 cl. Pours a warm amber golden with a tall and dense off-white head. Rather light citrusy nose with a leathery hoppiness. Medium body, rather light mouthfeel, quite some caramel and fruit and a hop bitterness in the finish that grows and becomes rather distinct but not very refined. Disappointing actually. 100709

Bottle from BevMo. Excellent appearance - deep amber with a lasting white head and great lacing. Aroma is malt, earth, and piney hops. Flavor is lots of caramel malt, piney hops, and earth/grass. Dry finish with a medium body and slight hop oiliness.

Draught at Blind Tiger, NYC on 24th July 2009. Gold with thick white head. Viciously bitter and hoppy with a lot of grassy, hempy notes and a satisfying dry finish. Enjoyable beer.

24oz. Pour is amber with a huge white lacy head. Aromas of piney hops, resin, caramel, and sweet malts. This thing smells like heaven. Flavot is full of piney hops, floral notes, caramel, and a full finish. Nice brew for a great price.
