Nov 27, 2008 Pour is a nice hazy orange brew with a thin cream head. Aroma is a leafy, sweet, and spicy. It has an orange-wheat side to the aroma, it isn’t all just the standard grapefruit hoppy smell. The flavor starts out with a creamy sweetness, sugary almost, then into a malt feel-filling the mouth with it. Then the hops go to work and it holds it all together pretty well. Even after the bite from the hops comes in, there is still a wonderful viscous mouthfeel. Not overly hoppy, not too harsh on the palate, its just a nicely balanced (for and IIPA) beer.

Nov 26, 2008 11/21/08 notes: bomber, part of tasting. Pours light yellow-orange. Aroma features floral bouquet. Palate was dry, a touch thin, and sticky on the finish. Primary flavors transitioned, from flowery hops on the front-palate, to a nice sweetness with fruit, to a hoppy, slightly ashen finish. Overall, this was quite nice, but lacking the vibrancy of say, GD’s Fresh Hop.

Nov 18, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of tertons. Pours a clear deep golden with a dense and stable off-white head - shaving foam style - leaving laces. Fresh and citrusy hop aroma. Quite full-bodied with a distinctly sweet malt base, spicy hop accents and a somewhat astringently bitter finish. 131108

Nov 18, 2008 Updated: Feb 2, 2009Nice malt backbone with bits of caramel and bready notes. Clean resinous pine and citrus presence that were balanced well with the malt sweetness, which was light. Little astringency on a dry finish. Overrated.

Nov 17, 2008 Orange pour with one finger head. Citrus and some pine and malt. OK mouthfeel. Enjoyable but would not actively seek.

Pours a a nice golden amber with a fluffy cloud like head that lasts and lasts leaving behind copious amounts of lacing left behind. Aromas of hops and some sweet malts exist, with the addition of some citrus notes. Flavors of hops and malts, pine and citrus. Very balanced, very good. Thanks Steven.
