Thick and rich and great to try single varietal hops. 4 pack for $12. guess it was fresh. big texture like younger and also doesn’t go sweet like it seems like it might. ok complexity but it’s just the 1 hop. learning experience. if this was available locally it would be in the rotation for sure.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. Deep orange without much lacing, but with a ton of just floating particles within it. I don’t think this is in the "unfiltered" version, but it sure looks the part. Smell is honey, and taste is super hoppy. Great bitterness with a smooth finish and a tiny bit of sweetness on the tongue up front. Very tasty.

Dec 18, 2009 Holy Simcoe Hops! The alcohol content is a bit high and as a result the taste isn’t quite a 10. But man I love the hoppy, some what grapefruit flavor. This beer was a lot hazzier than I had anticipated. Pours golden/orange, slightly opaque. Nice and beautiful head that sticks to sides of the glass and you down another gulp. Fantastic beer overall.

Dec 14, 2009 Bottle, pours hazy orange with a tall frothy light tan head. Strong Simcoe nose, lightly piney and notes of cannabis. Flavor is full of sweet toasted nuts and bready malts with a pine hop finish that is dry and awesome. This also has a candied pear flavor. This has got to be one of my favorite, DIPA’s!

Dec 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy, almost opaque orange with a large, fluffy off-white head. The aroma is great: floral, hoppy, and tantalizing. The taste really matches it; The bitter hops hit the tongue hard with a wonderful woody flavor and linger on the tongue but eventually give way to citrus and caramel notes. I highly recommend this beer to anyone who loves hops.

Dec 11, 2009 This is damn near DIPA perfection as far as I have ever tasted. Wow. The aroma is unbelievable. You are first hit with such a sweet whiff of hops and flowers that you believe that you are actually smelling a hop vine. The frist taste is pure hop head bliss. The use of only a single hop to get this flavor is pure genius. I could drink this all day everyday. Uncommonly good.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours deep, cloudy orange with a half-finger, quickly fading off-white head. Aroma of hops, pine, oranges, grapefruit, honey, and hints of kiwi. Fuller bodied with a very strong, slightly bitter mouthfeel. Nice finish. Excellent double IPA.

Dec 3, 2009 I was in Tampa in October and while trying to find something halfway decent there and got one of these. It was so incredibly delicious, that I figured I must have been desperately beer-starved at the time and had lost all perspective. Then I came home to Wisconsin and found it at Woodmans, and it is still incredibly delicious, time and time again. It’s been a month now, it is still a grand delight at every sip, and it still kind of semi-trounces all my old standards (Stone Ruination, Bells Hopslam, Victory Hop Wallop, Tyranena Hop Whore). This is a beautiful, beautiful beer.
