This mammoth IPA is defined by generous quantities of juicy American hops. The extensive dry hopping process contributes to its bright and flavorful character. This beer is unfiltered to leave all the natural flavors intact and bottle conditioned to stay super fresh.

(35.5cl bottle) Hazy, deep golden to amber colour with a medium-sized, slightly tanned foamy head. Intensively orange-fruity hoppy aroma with notes of hay and pine needles, backed by a delicate (cara-)malty sweetness. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a calm carbonation. Soft malty base with pronounced lemon-, orange- and peach fruity hops. Dry and moderately bitter finish with a lasting aftertaste of aromatic and fruity hops. Wunderbar (18.II.09).

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Hazy copper orange colour, dense orange-white head. Really strong citrus aroma, mainly grapefruit and bitter hops. Flavour is bitter, grapefruit and oranges, hops upfront, a little caramel sweetness to balance the bitterness, with an earthy dry grapefruit bitter finish that lingers.

12 oz bottle from Suttree. Best if enjoyed by 12/14/08 stamped on the bottle. Pour is mostly clear golden orange with active carbonation bubbles and a pretty two inch off white head. Some sticky lacing is left behind. Aroma of resin citrus, orange sweet with some pine notes. Fresh hop nose, nice. Taste is the nose, pine, resin, citrus; though its not quite as fresh or bright as the nose. Some bitterness towards the finish. Some musty, almost pineapple sour present as well. Palate is medium, with earthy lingering bitterness. Overall, a nice IPA, thanks Phil!

Bottle thanks to Suttree, shared with ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a thickish, off-white, with a hazy amber body. Great lacing, and retention. Aroma of spicy hops and sweet malts. Taste is fruity and very sweet and sugary. Finish has some cotton candy in the finish. Light bubbles and a water like mouthfeel.

Bottle: Copper pour with a smaller sandy colored head. Malt, resin, and piney notes blend together with a little citrus sweetness. Smooth and clean drinking with plenty of citrus hops, a little carmel, and bits of pine. Nice, wet, and soothing. Just right after cutting the grass. Thanks Kpresley77.

Bottle courtesy of TheBeerCellar. Thanks Matt! Pours red tinged orange with a medium head. VERY strong hop aroma... floral and pine. Taste is much smoother... and the hops seem almost hidden. Nicely balanced once you can find them, and while I wish they were more assertive, it is nice that they are on the mellower side. The hop bomb aroma and the mellow taste make this an interesting one.
