Appearance is golden orange with hues of amber, slight turbidity. Nice white head with some staying power and excellent lacing.
Smell is fresh grass and pine with distant hints of lemon and black pepper.
Taste is very dominant hops, but not as overpowering as some American IPAs, this one is better balanced than most. Nice bitter finish which is long lasting.
Very drinkable. A notch below the Mikkeller Simcoe, but head and shoulders about the average American IPA.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle, pours a hazy brown orange mostly brown with a soft tan head, Aroma is big grapefruit. Taste initial malty sweetness but only briefly then big grapefruit hops, the hops sit on the tongue and dance a bit, lots of grapefruit through out with a lovely dry mouth finish

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.
