Woah boy. This has got some hops. For being as hop strong as it is, its far from dry and bitter, its got a lot of sweet malty flavors. A strong orange color, a nice thick frothy head. Has a little bit pf peach-y flavor.

Bottle thanks to mreusch. A very nice brew. Orange/amber pour, sticky off-white head. Fresh hops, caramel malt, citrus, grapefruit, pine resin, and some peach. Nice!

One of the most flavorful beers that i’ve ever had. The hops were in balance and ultra smooth. Very clean mouth feel and palate finish. Although i was drinking out of a plastic cup because i was on a roof, this is one of the best beers i have had in some time.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear amber colour with a small white head. Rich and rounded hop aromas of resin, flowers and grass with undertones of peaches and nectarines. Medoim-bodied with strongly aromatic yet still really rounded flavours of resin, pine, grapefruit, caramel, grass and peaches. Long resinous finish of pine, grass and grapefruit on a solid foundation of caramel, fudge and oranges. Extremely well-hidden alcohol. Neat!

Bottle thanks to MrBunn. Pours a nice copper color with a foamy head that clings nicely to the glass. Aromas are of apricot, pear, and mild soap. Flavors of pine, some grapefruit and apricot...presumably the Tomahawk hops showing through. Very good drinkability, a little sweet, with the finish being mildly bitter. Very good.

12oz bottle fresh. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin spotty head. honestly not very attractive for such a high quality brew. Aroma is a complete 180 - fresh, in my face hops that are resiny and piney. Really enticing. Flavors are also popping with freshness and chewy hops. There is just enough sweet malt to keep it balanced, but this is a portrait of hoppy ecstasy.
