Thanks to Ucusty! Pours orange-gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is lovely, with orange, grapefruit, lemon, strawberries, cotton candy, toffee and breadcrust. Smells like hop candy. Flavor is a similar, drier mix of earth, bread, brown sugar, orange, grapefruit, strawberries and pine. Finishes like citrus fruits dipped in brown sugar mixed with a toasty bitterness that is more flavorful than strong. Medium bodied, creamy, fairly high carbonation, and easy to drink. I can see why so many people are addicted to this beer. It really DOES make me wish I had more in the fridge!

Dec 23, 2009 Poured orange/off yellow with a nice white head from 12 oz bottle. Aroma thick of flowery and resiny hops. Full palate of flower, resin, and pine with a nice caramel sweetness to balance it with a great lasting bitter finish. Measure this up to the best of IPAs, awesome beer and so glad it’s always around!

Dec 20, 2009 Aroma is a doughy fruitness with a strong hops presence. Color is a nice golden amber with a one-finger white head. Plenty of carbonation present. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is a great fruit flavor. Almost like sour strawberries. Great taste. Bitter aftertaste. This is a very tasty beer. Highly recommended.

Dec 20, 2009 So smooth for an IPA, not aas potent as the hop slam. Still a sweet hoppiness which is subtle but nice in the aroma and full flavored in taste. With a golden orange color this brew is another of the fine ales that Larry Bell has released.

Dec 18, 2009 Had this many times and finally rated it. Awesome IPA. Big hop profile up front with citrus tartness and subtle malt character. Aroma of more malt and hop. Floral and citrus hops dominate aroma and tastes. Great brew.
