A soft grapefruit and malt nose belies the bottle hype about being a hop monster. The dominant taste element is a solid bready malt, followed by some juicy fruit flavours - tropical fruit, grapefruit, citrus and a splash of orange. There is some sweetness and body richness adding to the blend. Fruity hops, but not that much bitterness.

Copper pour, small white head, quite a bit of sticky lacing. The aroma. Is quite nice, good citrus notes, some light line in the background, with some solid caramel malts. The finish is medium bitter with a lot of pine in the finish. This impressed me compared to past offerings.

Bottle. Deep golden color. Hints of ripe fruit and floral notes in the aroma. Floral, even a bit medecinal soft hopbitter flavor. Hints of tropical fruit, band aids and plastic. Woody. Somewhat disappointing.
