Draft pour at Bottle Logic, Anaheim. Cool to find this brew still pouring almost a decade later. Definitely seems it has evolved over the years. Clean and clear golden pour. Thin head. Hop oil front. Sharp taste, hop bitter bite. Some melon. Cool and bright finish. Enjoyed this.

16 oz. can. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a medium, bubbly, white head. The aroma is orange juice, mild juniper, cilantro, hay, lavender, and grapefruit peel. Dry and resinous, with a mellow bitterness. Medium body, zesty, and chewy. Nicely aromatic, and a bit dank. Pretty nice.

24/II/20 - 1Pt. can as “No2 Hoptomotron”, shared @ ElManana+1’s place, BB: n/a, bought freshly in the US (2020-160) Thanks to Surya for the trade and delivery!

Clear orange beer, big creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: smelly, cheesy, very dank hops, funky touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, some grapefruit, also grapefruit peel, citrus notes, dank, hoppy, bit grassy. Aftertaste: more grapefruit, some tropical fruits, dank, bit cheesy, sticky hops, very nice!

32oz crowler pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The mild aroma offers up some fruity esters, a bit of citrus candy and some spicy earthy like notes. The taste delivers earthy, herbal and sweet citrus sweetened mint, pine, woody and floral hops. Interesting. There is a booze kick midway and into the finish. Decent.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty piney hoppy grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty piney hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a fruity malty piney hoppy bitter grapefruit finish.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is hoppy, but with a very old school west coast style to it. Lots of grapefruit and orange with pine and resin. Light cracker malt and caramel notes with a bit of a breadiness. Really light tropical fruit notes. Pours a moderately hazy, golden orange with a medium large, moderately thick, white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that lingers. Moderate lacing and medium small legs. Flavor has a medium light sweetness to it with moderate cracker malt, light caramel and light toasted bread notes. Medium high bitterness with moderate hop notes and light alcohol spice. Grapefruit, orange pine and resin dominate with hints of tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but not a great IPA in this day and age. Too malty, boring hop profile, you get the picture.

Bomber to tulip. Pours a mostly clear copper with moderate off-white head. Massively cloying malt overpowers all of this beer. I love this hop profile but I get almost none of it. Could really stand to attenuate out a lot more of the sugars.

Shared 22 oz. bottle. Hazy golden color with an off-white head. Aroma of tropical fruit and caramel malt. Taste: malt, caramel, pine, and tropical fruit. Fairly intense but a little too malty. Okay.

Level 42 Bottle share. Thanks to Leighton, big thanks for the hoppy haul! Light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Fluffy light dry malts, light creamy sweetness. Good spicy pine hops, resin and fresh mango led tropical fruits. Aniseed. More spice. Spicy dry finish. Nice.
