"Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution."

At a private tasting in Serbia with markoijelena and luttonm. "Pour it" pale golden a bit hazy with a white decent foamy head. Nose is mix of citrus notes, very fresh grapefruit. Amazing. Mouth: great but a bit disappointing compared to the nose. It mirrors the mouth. A good beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear, golden yellow with white head. Tropical and resiny hops. Seemed a little light on the palate, perhaps lacking something, not sure if it was just this bottle.

Bottle at Beer Hunters. Clear orange color, small white head. Strong aroma of tropical fruits and gooseberry bushes. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruity, sweetish, hoppy. Lingering bitterness. Just ok nothing more. Something lacks, maybe freshness?
