Pours hazy amber with a huge white head. Aroma of tropical fruit notes and sweet malt. Taste has sharp hop bite on the tongue, pine and resin. Palate has sweet tropical notes overlaying the pine bite. Really good.

Bottle from Dkachur, thanks Dan! Orange blonde color. Malt, pineapple, hopoil and grapefruit in the aroma. Malty sweetish at first, with immediately an oily hoppiness banging in. Grapefruit, pineapple. Oily hopbitter aftertaste. Well balanced, with soft and velvety notes. Quite pleasant and likeable.
gave a cheers!

Blik gedeeld door Benzai en gedronken met Tomhendriksen. Goudgeel, licht troebel bier. Aroma is hoppig. Smaak is hoppig en kruidig. Weinig nasmaak.

Blik gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met Inoven. Het is een licht troebel geel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige geur. De smaak is scherp hoppig en vol.

From Jun 2006
poured from 22oz bottle a medium gold with a large head of foam that dissipated slowly leaving a solid layer with good lacing.
The smell is a citrusy hop..a mix of lemon and grapefruit.
The taste has a huge hop flavour initially that is quite bitter but as I swish the brew in my mouth, there *is* a definite malt presence there that softens the hop attack a bit but yeah, make no mistake aboot it...this brew is a hop bomb first and foremost and that's a good thing. ;^) That's why I keep picking up this beer when I make my(in) frequent jaunts to Colorado.
Bottom line: A great DIPA that, imho, deserves the reputation that it has acquired. I Highly Recommend it!
