"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."

Pours gold with a large, lasting head.Nose shows vibrant fruity hops with lychee, pear and peach characters. Also some biscuity malt.Not much fruit as a flavours, much more piny, althought there is some grapefruit. Very little malt, resulting in a sharp, harsh bitterness and a little booze in the finish.Carb could be a little higher.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstensfärgad, klar, lågt försvinnande skum. Stor doft av tropiska frukter, grapezest och tallskott. Torr för stilen och fruktigheten dränks i grapebeska och fenoler, men rena smaker, bra balans, väl dold alkohol och en torr stram smakbild gör att den funkar riktigt bra och man dricker lätt 50cl. Någonstans mellan IPA och DIPA. Riktigt bra.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear deep golden, mid sized head. Huge aroma of pear and lychee. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Loads of tropical fruit hops, some syrup and caramel. Really bitter finish with some warmth..

Ljus klar färg . Ren oerhört mycket doft kanon. Påminner om cenintal Hop. Jävligt fräsch DIPA med rena fruktiga å. Rena smaker. Köp köp köp .

Bought this in early August when visiting relatives in Illinois of all places. This one poured a completely clear golden orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was light hops, some earth and plenty of grassy notes. Flavor had grassy notes, hops. Pretty enjoyable - but I’m wondering if it would have been even more awesome fresh before traveling halfway around the world.

Expensive as hell 50cl bottle ($12) pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up tropical fruit, malty sweet orange zest, pine hops, floral hops and a moderate degree of malts. The taste begins with a firm level of resiny bitter pine hops and then it heads into a malty mix of floral and tropical fruit and citrus like hoppiness. The resiny bitter hops dominate the flavor and don’t seem to play well with the remaining notes. Decent and with hop-o-plenty but for the price . . . . well.

Bottle - Pine, resin and some sweet grapefruit. Clear gold with a thin head. Pine and sweet malts on the tongue, nice balanced bitterness. A nice beer for sure, but nothing extraordinary.

Bottle. Pours clear golden amber with a small white head that dissipates slowly with good lacing. Aroma is a pleasant, if muted, mix of grapefruit, pine resin, grass, mango. Flavor is quite nice, light sweet, medium bitter, but not overwhelming. Medium body, oily mouthfeel.
