Cloudy golden with a small white head. Big fruity hop aroma with peach, pineapple and tangerine in particular. Sweet and juicy hoppy flavour with the sweetness, but little malt character as such. All in all, an expressive and clean hop bomb, with a good bitter finish

got in a trade at BBF . pours.. NOT? lets try and drink this as i should, fresh, canned, and with pleasure. opened the can, i can smell a direct passing scent of bitterness and sweet hops, just like a small wind, it comes and goes in seconds... smelling to the can does say this baby WILL be delicious ! waaw! nothing like any other canned beer ! how do i say this right? it has like the ultimate mouthfeel, it fills it up like a good candi or ( i know this might sound weirs ) meat. LOVE it . hopps are bitter, yet also sweet, very in yer face, withoud going over the top. minutes of aftertaste, on a IPA... damn, this is totaly worth its name, if not even more ! and goddamn, i WANT more ! tasted it also at BBF, but cold, this beer is just something else ! WAAWED

From the September 2012 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a cloudy pale yellow color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweetish pine and resin. The flavor was sweet and tangy pine, resin, caramel and honey. Long finish of sweet pine and resin. Full bodied. Excellent.

1 pt can from a trade. Hazy golden orange, foamy white head. Aroma is a blast of grass, sweet citric fruits, pineappe, tropical fruits. Full bodied,resinous. Taste of sweet fruits similar to those of the aromas, moderate bitter. Extremly drinkable, abv barely noticeable. One of the best hoppy beers I had lately.

can thanks to Time4Lunch pours hazy bright orange with a medium white head. Lots of sediment floating around. Aroma is huge hops through and through. Grapefruit, sweet citrus, grass, a little skunk/cat piss. Flavor does not disappoint, big resinous hop flavor of pine, grass and again citrus from bitter to sweet ending with a big bitter wallop. This lives up to the hype and more, special stuff.

Can@Craft Beer Co, London. Amber colour, medium off-white head. Aroma is grassy, fruity, flora, earthy, honeyish and nectary with some slight maltyness. Flavour is being quite similar in a nice balance. Lots of hops, but still not over the top hopped DIPA.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of FrumptyDumpty. Pours a cloudy opaque deep golden with a roughish off-white head. Intensely hoppy aroma, somewhat herbal. Rich body, fruity with loads of citrusy hops - again almost herbal. Bitter and alcoholic finish. Nice and very American. 280712
