Smells of soapy clean water, citrus, like standing outside a redwood forest. Smells like the Meirwoods in Cali. "Nectar of the gods" says Butters. I agree. Fantastic f’ing beer. Super IPA. Maybe the best that I’ve ever had in my life. "It’s like what honey should taste like. If honey were so lucky" says Sean Lines. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2009 bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Pours a light carmel with a tall frothy light tan head. Citrus hop and grapefruit aromas with some pine resin notes. First sip is just a huge wow. This beer is so big on many levels. The malt is nice and bready, mildly sweet with toasted nut flavors and a carmel undertone. The hops are strong and pronounced but not over bearing, lots of pine and grapefruit with a nice linger in the finish. It’s still dry, but with a hop wollop on the back of the tongue. This is powerful stuff!
