Pours deep burgandy-orange into a Chimay goblet. Nice head with long retention. Nice lacing. Caramel aroma. Deep malt flavor with hop finish. Quite well balanced. Very little active carbonation.

Aroma of yeast and fresh-baked bread with notes of citrus and grass. The aggressive flavor is filled with bitter hops with firm, sweet malts behind them. Long, bitter and dry finish. Medium body. Solid, tasty beer.

Sweet nose with spice notes. Toffee and cherry. Alcohol spiciness. The hops surface in the taste — a citrus bitterness that lasts. On top of that is a sweet, chewy caramel and toffee taste. There are notes of orange peel, maple syrup and honey. Medium to thick body, slightly syrupy. Excellent.

Beautiful reddish coloration with a foamy tan head. Aroma subtle but very pleasant--of apple/fruit, maybe a bit of citrus and a little evergreen. Flavor is great... hops are present throughout, but really come into focus at the end. First burst of flavor is bitter hops, which momentarily gives way to a fruity sweetness that then immediately breaks into an piney sharpness of hops that finishes nice and bitter.

22 oz. bottle - This beer is aggressive alright. While appaerntly not as hoppy as Stone’s Ruination IPA, this is still more of a hophead’s beer due to the strong hops finish. Initially you’ll be hit with malty sweetness though. The flavor is strong like one might expect on reading the bottle, and very good. Highly recommended.

Thick frothy off-white head. Dark amber color. Hoppy citrus aroma. Fairly bitter taste. A comfortable beer to drink if you enjoy the aggressive styles.

Bottle. Brown/reddish beer with a caramel/dry aroma and a lightly hoped flavour. The beer is dizzy juice, dry and bitter with a very vinous edge.

Red ruby color, small tanned head. Strong flowery hoppy nose. All hops, hops and hops with some sweetness underlying. Not very complex beer - propably heaven to hopheads, not for me.
