Hops, hops and more hops. This West Coast IPA is extremely intense in hop aroma. A unique and complex blend of pine, citrus and floral hops. It is like being slapped in the face with a hop cone.

Nice refreshing ipa, although I don't think the brewers description is very accurate. Good long lasting head and some decent lacing. Mild grass and pine aroma. Grass, pine and orange peel flavour. Some malt background for balance. It's an easy drinking ipa but i would prefer it in a six pack. Not a fan of the huge bottle but i do like the swingtop.

The beer pours a hazed orange gold with a generous off-white rocky head. The aroma is pine and citrus with a backdrop of grassy malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is pine, light grapefruit and papaya, and grainy malt. A nice IPA, but nothing special. -

Goes under the name "Hopraiser" in a big 1L bottle with swingtop. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with frothy white cap, great retention and some nice lacing. Fresh, but milder than normal aromas of pine, grass and light malt. The taste is also milder, but goes up in strength in the finish with some nice bitterness from the grassy hop. Notes of grapefruit zest, but all well-balanced. An easy-drinking, middle-of-the-road IPA. Good for such a big bottle.

From a huge 1L bottle. Pours a pretty big frothy off white head and has a pale golden appearance. Leaves some fairly thick dirty lacing behind. Aromas of piney and citrusy hops as well as mild malty and yeasty notes. Flavours are quite hoppy, mainly citrus and pine. Malty notes abound though, it is well balanced. Has a sweet slightly sour finish. A little bit of bitterness on the palate. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Pretty good, there's just something a little off in the finish/aftertaste with the sweet/sourness.

From Central City, one-litre swing-top bottle. Big white head over a pour of clear copper. Aroma of citrus and floral hop; not much malt or pine. Pretty agreeable flavour, pine, hop, and citrus. Lots of citrus at the finish. Above average mouthfeel. Quite drinkable, but not superior to this brewery's 'everyday' IPA, Devil's Elbow, Also sold as 'Hopraiser'.
