Location: Draft at Jake Melnick's, 5/27/14
Aroma: The aroma is pine and citrus hops, resin, and some caramel
Appearance: It pours a clear orange-amber color with a mid-sized off-white head
Flavor: The flavor is fairly bitter with a some lighter sweetness for a little balance
Palate: The body is medium, it has a soft-to-average carbonation, and a long, dry finish
Overall Impression: I enjoyed this beer. Nice example of the style, maybe not a top-of-style example, but a nice one for sure.

Well carbonated. Dry hops and a full palate with intense hop flavor. This beer is more focused on the hops and the malt is underneath. Citrus and herbal finish.

Sampled on draft at the House of 1000 Beers this beer poured a medium caramel-tan color with a medium sized creamy orange-tan head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweetish pine. The flavor was tangy and sweet pine, resin, a bit of grapefruit and floral hops. Medium length tangy and sweet finish with lingering pine and floral hops. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.

Bottle thanks to madbeerbaron. Pours clear orange with a small beige head and good lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine, passionfruit, a touch of cat piss. Flavor is the same, light sweet, medium bitter, with a touch of dankness that I enjoy in my IPAs. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. Definitely a hop bomb, but a well crafted one IMO.
