Deep in the labs at TG, through the vaulted door, down the steps, and past the room labeled "Beware the Leopard" lies an experiment forgotten. For over a year it remained dormant, calculating the precise moment of return to unleash the ultimate blend of hops. Finally, escape! This unbridled force descends upon the unsuspecting Masses. Can you handle it?

Bottle courtesy of - you guessed it - iphonephan. Thank you! Hazy yellow color. Aroma of earthy fruit. Taste is smooth, fruity, earthy. Tasty.

22oz bottle. Thanks to Iphonephan! March 2014 DC Tasting. Poured a yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is light malt, some very mild citrus and some decent malt notes. Flavor was sweet, mostly nondescript, but better hop character then the yellow-label.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at Ryan’s. Fruity hop nose. Flavors of pine and light grapefruit notes. Medium bodied. Crisp, slightly bitter finish. Tasty.

Thanks for this bottle Pepsi! Pours hazy butterscotch, medium off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is dank, resinous, stone fruit, grapefruit, guava. Definite tropical influences here. Light sweet, fruity, lightly bitter. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. I liked this one.

22oz bottle. Hazy orange-tan. Foamy white head. Lemon pine bitterness. On the fuller side of medium bodied. Piny, rindy, grapefruit, lemon. Pretty good and fresh, but didn’t blow me out of the water like some of their other beers. Good stuff.
