Huge thanks again to slowrunner77 for this. Hazy orange hue with a thick and sticky cream colored head that clings nicely to the glass. Pine and grapefruit on the nose, prototypical west coast IPA. Floral and spicy up front with hints of orange and lemon finish insanely bitter. Truly a joy, and the hidden ABV is scary. Thanks again, Chris!!

Recently sampled at a friend's pig roast / tasting. No idea of the bottles age, but this beer didn't thrill me at all. Near lifeless dark golden pour with a filmy head. Pungent citrus with some evergreen and a hint of biscuits. Fairly balanced and drinkable, but nothing eye opening.

Aroma is SERIOUSLY hoppy - hops and evergreen scent scamper up your nose even before you can take a good whiff. Just like smelling fresh-cut pine wood, except for the firm undertone of sour orange. Pours a lovely clear amber with a fairly thick off-white head that leaves some good lacing. Overwhelmingly evergreen flavor makes this beer taste like a liquid pine tree. Bitterness is strong but not vicious. There is also an undertone of citrus and a whisper of honey sweetness. Firm-bodied texture is quite fizzy and lively, leaving a persistent and very hoppy tingle. This beer is a must for all "hop heads."

Not one of the top of the line IIPAs but still a worthy entry. It has the right appearance, hazy burnt orange with white head, and the aroma, huge citrus nose. It lacks in body, mouthfeel and flavor. It starts with a juicy citrusy flavor that turns to some pine and a lot of alcohol warmth as you swallow. Overall a great beer but for the style not a front runner.

Jan. 2010 - Light color with some head. This one is super citrus and a fairly high level of bitterness. Despite this, the mouthfeel was as smooth as drinking water, yet not flat and unappealing. Pretty good.

Received a couple of bottles from friends in California a couple of months back. The beer pours a frothy orange gold before settling into a beautiful cloudy orange gold topped by a thin white head. Lots of citrusy hops in the aroma with some pine and sweet malts. The flavour is full with grapefruit, caramel, and spices.

The beer poured a murky golden orange colour with a foamy tan coloured head that stuck to the sides of the glass. The aroma was pine, citrus, grapefruit, and some butterscotch. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was bitter grapefruit, some grain, and slight sweetness. A very enjoyable beer.

Poured from a bottle with a nice orangey color and a nice white head. The aroma was amazing! The fruitiness from the hops was brilliant. The apricots mango malt aroma was probably one of the best beers I've ever had the pleasure of putting my nose against. The flavor was there to match the aroma. This was a massively hoppy beer with just enough malts to balance it out. This was just a great beer and would never be able to tell that this was a high alcohol beer. That "burn" just wasn't there which is a nice treat. Great Beer!

NICE...big, thick, resiny pine and grapefruity citrus...more malt balance in the flavor than i though there'd be based on the wonderful juicy hop bomb of a smell. started out a little cold, still had a ton of hop aroma, great flavor, and ok balance...no caronation problems here. Wanted to chew it after smelling. Great hop lovers beer!
