Blue Dot is named after our planet: we are only a pale blue dot in this universe. Made with Organic Pilsner malt, Rye malt and a combination of intense hop varieties. Pour slowly to allow the sediments to remain in the bottle. Make every day Earth Day. Be something nice for your mother.

Bottle. Lots of small floaties in this one, messing up the nice golden color a bit. Off-white head. Mostly hoppy aroma, with pines and fruits. The flavor is quite bitter, with fruits, orange, pine, some malt, and peppery hops. Quite carbonated, medium to full mouthfeel. Definately a good beer, but as with many American (I)IPA’s, I miss balance. (070705)

Very nice. Not the hop bomb I expected, but there hops are there in abundance. The aroma has citrus and grapefruit. Flavor is almost all hops, but balanced by sweet malt that I wasn’t expecting. The balance is quite good. Light hop burn.

(Bottle, thanks to Marsiblursi) Sampled at a tasting night at Marsiblursi’s place. Shady apricot color, white head. Scent are from hops and pine, very intense and oily, green hops from the bag smell. Spritzy mouthfeel that transforms into mouth puckering dry bitterness. Piny and hoppy taste with a huge bitterness.
