Cloudy amber with a medium beige head. Aroma had plenty of hops, pine, grapefruit and exotic fruits. Plenty of hops in the fairly dry flavor with pine, grapefruit and peachy notes. Finished dry and very bitter. Nice.

Had this one at the RB Pittsburgh tasting august 2009 thanks to Nate. Forewarning I am not a big IPA lover. This stuff is strong and over the top. A little on the hard side. I think I detect some difficult nut in there. On style, and I think there is some carbonation in there but but the taste is so overwhelming that I probably can’t detect it. Aroma is quite nice in retrospect. Finish is terribly on style and rude.

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a murky orange-amber color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was a splendidly strong mix of sweet grapefruit, pineapple and pine that promised liquid glory. The flavor, sadly did not quite live up to the aroma but was none the less full of strong grapefruit and pine with a nutty, yeasty and almost smoky undertone. A bit too dry and bitter on the flavor. The finish was long, sour, nutty and full of fruity hops. The body was fairly thick. Well done but left me wanting.
