Bottle, big thanks to Matt W. Murky dark orange pour with a pillowy off white head and a fair bit of sediment. Super fruity nose mingled with plenty of sweaty pissy hop. What a great smell. Earthy, spicy, sweetish flavour with a slight booze kick, but the ABV lurked very much in the shadows. Steadily building hop bitter explosion that lingered long into the finish. This brew has a big pair of danglies and isnโ€™t afraid to flaunt them. Top notch stuff.

0.33l bottle from beermerchants.com This is a cloudy golden orange-ish beer with a nice really big and heavy lacing off-white head. On the aroma this one is really rich and powerful. It's big and malty and I find tones of grapefruit, citrus, clear cortex, ripe peach and even a little bit of nail polish. Delicious! Oheo! This was one different tasting dipa! Clear clear licorice and leather tones her! That kinda surprised me! It's really really thick and full-bodied with a average to soft carbonation level. Malty and sweet, and the bitterness first show itself in the aftertaste. But when it's there, it's really there! Also a thin hint of something sour at first, but that quickly fades. No wait, it's not sour, it's cat piss! Don't think I've had that so much in the flavor before, but it's really present! In the mouth it feels both sticky, drying - almost like it has been wood-barreled, and really warming. The warming part is really strong in the aftertaste. Hints of ripe fruity melon zest also in the finish and aftertaste. A mighty bad ass and quite powerful one with many elements. I really liked it. A damn fine sipper. Made me sneeze. Twice! 26.03.2012

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of anders37. Pours a cloudy opaque - murky - golden with an off-white head. Medium body only, heavily fruity to the sweet side, spicy slightly biting hops with a bitter finish - tangerines? I really dig Citra, but Iโ€™m not convinced of it as a single hop. 030312

Bottle at home in London. Pours cloudy, rich gold with a large, frothy, off-white head. The citra hops explode out of this beer. The aroma is all orange, toast, grapefruit and pine. Flavor is medium sweet with a gorgeous, restrained bitterness. Juicy, juicy, juicy. Orange juice mostly, with hints of alcohol, bread, and grass. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation, and a velvety mouthfeel. Warm finish, semi-sticky, lots of orange, some toasted sugar, sweet grass, pine needles, pulpy orange, some pineapple and light citrus rind. Unbelievably smooth overall. Way, way to easy to drink this stuff. Super DIPA. World class, definitely.
