Pour is a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is an ok hop followed by some sweet malt. Flavor is a light dank hop with some of the sweet sticky malt making an appearance. Finish is again a light bitterness with some malt presence. It’s ok, a bit heavy in the malt dept. but hops are here just not aggressively so.

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head that recedes slowly to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of citrusy hops and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with hops and grapefruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can from Malt & Vine. Pours translucent copper with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of mild cat pee with mildly roasted malt. Full bodied. Flavor is very, very citrus. Somewhat burning citrus. Malt is almost lost. Some might say this is rather crude. Nothing sophisticated about the hop here. So? Those who don’t like lots and lots of hop bitter should avoid this very nifty ale. Brilliant effing ale!

Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a clear gold body that supports an off white head of foam that leaves behind just a little bit of spotty lacing. The aroma offers up some citrus hops that consist of a little grapefruit and tangelo and then maybe a touch of malt sweetened tropical fruit. The taste is sort of grapefruity bitter and a little bit of an earthy orange peel note. It maintains hop bitterness where a touch of hop flavor seems to show up from time to time with faint whispers of malt sweetness way off in the background. Pretty good IPA.

On tap at TCBF, pours golden / copper. Generic hoppy flaovur, quite muted, with citrus and a decent caramel malty backbone. Alright.
