Sep 26, 2009 A hoppy beer with great flavor balance. Had on tap. Deep in color and long on finish. Other reviewers have pretty much nailed the description so I won’t waste space. Certainly an IPA you could drink all night.

Sep 18, 2009 A superb, lean IPA ramped up for maximum bitterness and yet incredibly drinkable. For all the talk about the malts on the can, I was blown away by how supple and thin this was - in the best sense. Australian pales ales always fatten out the hop profile with lots of sticky sugars, but this is all about the hops. 99 IBUs and yet I could imagine seeing off a few of these. Would love to see something like this here in Oz. (Can courtesy of Oslo - thanks buddy - at the Milson Point park session September 09)

Sep 16, 2009 Courtesy of Oslo, Ratebeer tasting under the Bridge 12/9. Wow, a beer like this in a can, unbelievable. Looks like it should contain cheap bourbon & coke mix. Dark amber with white head, pine citrus aromas. Beautiful caramel sweetness balanced out with seppo hops galore. I wish they sold these here in oz i’d buy it by the carton.

Sep 14, 2009 Draft at 8th Street Grill. Wow! This certainly has something to it. A well behaving malt profile and a very delicious and rather long lasting hop palate kicks in (maybe not furiously but very much present in deed). This one will hop OD a lager boy.

Sep 13, 2009 19 oz can into mug. 19 oz at a time is a great thing. Pours very dark golden-brown with a thick, dark beige head. Wonderful aroma of citrus, coriander, and pine/grass. Very strong flavors of grapefruit, lemongrass, pine, and plenty of hops, with notes of caramel. Nice, full bodied beer. Finishes with a strong bitterness and leaves a little residual in your mouth. Just awesome.

Sep 13, 2009 Tap at State and Lake. Deep amber pour with a creamy off-white head. Big dank hoppy aroma. Pine and a lot of fresh hoppy resin. There is a little bit of toasted malt and a kiss of citrus as well. A little bit of orange peel. As it warms the malts take on a lightly sweet caramelly character. Even a kiss of cookie dough as well. Quite a pronounced dank resiny bitterness, but it still has a solid balance throughout. Pretty damn tasty.

Sep 9, 2009 2009 Can - Thanks tytoanderso! - Pour is dark translucent amber with a frothy off white head...aroma is sticky hop nuggets, citrus resin and pine, sweet malt...flavour is all of the above, massive resin bitterness that is balanced with way more malt than typically found, results in an IPA/IIPA hybrid of sorts...just terrific...

Sep 4, 2009 16oz can sent to me by theisti...thanks Tim! Pours a deep amber that has a ruby/copper hue to it. Big fluffy white head that leaves a great sticky lacing on the way down. The nose on this is fantastic...huge resin, sweet citrus and sharp pine all with subtle malt tones. Taste is equally amazing. Balanced bready malt with big hops throughout that are just so balanced. To me, this is a text book example of what an IPA should be.
