Nov 20, 2008 Pours a very nice hazy reddish brown with small amount of off white head that leaves speckled lacing.
Smells like citrusy hops, and pine not over powering though.
Tastes just like smell, the hops taste "soft" has a nice sweet malt backbone and lightly bitter aftertaste
Palate on this one might be my favorite part - it’s thin yet velvety and mouth coating
This is a very good beer, the flavors are all familiar, but different enough from usual to keep things interesting.

Nov 18, 2008 Got this thanks to Honkeybra. Crushed with Jakebra. Hops. Very nice. What’s missing? Something is missing. Not as full-bodied as I’d like or the balance is off or I just don’t understand wet-hopping...? Still damn good, but it should be better and I don’t understand what the problem is.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a bright amber-orange color with a thin off-white head that faded to a ring. Aroma of fresh, leafy hops with some light pine and resin, as well as a soft undertone of citrus. Smooth, earthy entry leads into a moderately bitter, leafy hoppiness with some light pine and a light earthiness on the finish. Moderate carbonation, nice mouthfeel. Overall, a nice IPA.

Nov 16, 2008 2008 harvest ale. Pours clear red-tinted ruby colored body. Big perfumed dank melon and creamed orange, bright, wet, hugely green. Celery and sweet spinach, harsh, bitter, astringent, etc., assertive and aggressive, nearly impressive but a little too young and green.

Oct 31, 2008 Wonderful IPA - beautiful amber with grapefruity, piney nose with some mango. Lighter than Alpha king but with similar palate I thought - beautiful beer.

Oct 26, 2008 Another good one from FFF. Fruit and citrus hops in the aroma and flavor. Hazy golden pour with off white head. Good bitterness.

Oct 25, 2008 aroma is not as overwhelming as i thought it might be, but still is delicious. darker ruby color bordering on that of an IIPA despite the low ABV here. VERY sessionable, this is relaxed. while not overly challenging, this remains interesting and overall fulfilling. unique amongst wet hop ales for its almost ’moderation’ from a brewery known for no holds barred with the green buds.
