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.

Bottle thanks to my friend bringing some back this way. Pours a hazy copper color with a medium sized head. Aroma is of citrus, pine, and hops. Taste is very very crisp! Grapefruit, and other citrus notes, along with a long lasting finish.

Good and better than most of the style. Good hop aroma with citrus, plants, and salt. Medium sweet malt balanced by generous citrus-herbal hops. Dry, bitter finish.

Bottle. (trade with Papsoe) Clear, golden-copper color with a beige head. Pine, hops and tropical fruits in the aroma. The flavor is quite bitter and fruity, with pine and tropical fruits, the latter dominating the fruit-part. Full body. Very piney finish with a distinct bitterness. I find it a bit on the hoppy side, but it is a nice beer. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. 070608
On tap at the Atlanta airport taphouse, terminal A. Looking cute in the glass, even though there’s not much head, just a thin layer of off-white bubbles. Some lacings. It’s deep golden in color, and clear. The aroma is peachy and citrusy, sure nice, but lacking some of the freshness found in the Lowryder IPA. Still not much malts to be detected. The flavor has a nice bitterness, with citrus peel and resins, and a little malty sweetness as a backdrop. Full body and a soft carbonation. Bitter, resiny finish. I could easily drink more of this, but it’s far from the most exciting IPA I’ve had. 140511

Bottled. Golden/orange almost clear body with an off white head. Powerful and delicious citrus aroma. Flavor is relatively mild malt, some bitterness and a bit sweet. This is a well balanced and nice IPA but I don’t fin it too special. A nice and quite typical American IPA.

Strong resiny hop aroma. Floral? Could be. Has that hint of feline expression - in a good way. Dark golden color with a white head. Starts with clean refreshing resiny piny hop. Medium+ mouthfeel. Malt? Anyway, after the first piny hints, it comes out floral. The finish is not quite dry, not all that bitter. The hop seems to flucate between pine and floral. It is really, really, good. The cat related smell is still there, but it’s nothing compared to a real cat situation. Malt?

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Kramer17801. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Distinct aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body with lightly sweet, pale malts and then lots of sweetish, fruity accents from the aroma hops. Lovely. 060407

Bottle. NIce sweet orange-grapefruit hops aroma. Clear orange-yellow color with small head. Flavor an excellent sweet grapefruit and light malt. Moderate hops finish. Well blended - the bitterness doesn’t overwhelmed the beer. Very nice IPA.

Bottle from unclemattie; nose smells like alfalfa and hops;, mixed with a tiny apricot fruitiness, unique hoppiness in the nose from other IPAs I’ve had. Color was amber with a small white head; flavor was sweet (fruity) hoppiness (akin to Moylan’s Hopsickle) in a sticky mouthfeel body, and a mild hop bitterness for the finish. Excellent!
