(10/29/08) Bottle at Valley Brew brewery in Stockton (thanks a lot Mike!). Aroma of resinous hops and malt. Sweetish flavor with malt, alcohol, fruit notes and a bitter finish with some hops.

Orangey-amber colour. Brash hop aroma is very heady. You really sit up and take notice when presented with this one. Massive bitterness, off which some really neat spicy hop flavours play. Can’t really say it’s balanced because it’s not even close. It’s what I imagine drinking hop extract would be like. Still, it tastes great and that aroma is killer.

Bottled. Deep orange red. Massive lychee aroma. Sweet and supermalty with soft, rounded mouthfeel. Megahoppy with some burning alcohol coming through and an extremely bitter finish . What amazes me is the softness of the malt here, in the midst of the hop and alcohol onslaught - that’s what makes this beer so good.

Draft. Slightly hazy ruby amber beer with a thin off-white head. Huge citrus aroma. Huge citrus flavor. Very clean. Some malt backing with a bit of caramel. Pine/citrus at end. Rich mouthfeel. Very slight alcohol presence.
