Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes intenses et invitants de houblon américain (fruits tropicaux et résine). Robe dorée et claire, effervescence moyenne et légère mousse. Il s’agit d’une IPA qui met le houblon à l’avant-plan, avec une très belle présence aromatique (fruits tropicaux, résine). Le malt, très net, est juste assez présent pour soutenir le houblon. Finale bien amère. Une très bonne IPA de la côte ouest.

Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint. Slightly hazy burnt yellow with foamy head and pretty strong lacing. Aroma of pine and citrus, slightly sweet toasted malts. Fantastic hop taste - mostly pine, citrus and some grapefruit. Some mostly dry malts to counterbalance the hop explosion, but not too much. Persistent bitterness at end. Very smooth and very dry. Medium body and moderate carbonation. For being so hop-centric and bitter, this is unbelievably easy to drink. This has now become one of my top IPAs, along with Celebration and Two-Hearted.

12 oz. bottle- Pours clear golden with a pillow on top, aroma is of citrus and hops. The flavor is mellow, drinkable, and damn right enjoyable, you dirty bastard. Sorry, i apologize, the arrogant bastard in me got out, you stupid jackasses.

Yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Rich aroma with nice pine and grass, some flowers and grape also come up. Medium bodied. Flavor is also strongly piny with lemon also dominating, nice fruits with some pineapple also here. Aftertaste lasts with bitter hops.

Foamy white head over a cloudy orange beer. Brilliant hop bouquet. Cascade citrus, spicyness, grapefruit some floral notes as well as earthiness. Intense bitter bite, just enough malt to balance. Grapefruit starts to come through. Medium to light body. This is the IPA pushed as far as it can go without having to up the malt/body. Very, very good.

Medium golden/ochre murky pour with a long lasting creamy beige head. Aroma is very hoppy, grapefruit and flowers, but also caramel malt, prune, dates and alcohol. Flavor matches the aroma. It starts off lightly sweet and moderately bitter, but quickly becomes bitter in a heavy way - lasting and lasting with a an alcoholic sting in there as well. Medium to full bodied, syrupy with soft carbonation. A delight even though it was served too cold.
