Canned October 3rd.
Pours a hazy straw gold with plenty of foam. Above average lacing.
Pine and grapefruit dominate the smell; degree of dankness pretty high.
Pine and grapefruit clearly in the taste. Dank tropical fruit permeates. Very very bitter. No malt that I can discern. Like in a triple IPA. Onions? Yep.
Good mouthfeel.
A bit over the top for me regarding the bitterness level but I am glad that I got to try it.

Very cloudy tangerine color, one finger width head.
Strong citrusy hop aroma, somewhat earthy.
Medium-bodied, incredibly bitter, slight coffee flavor almost.

12oz bottle, freshness date appears to be smudged. Thanks to my friend, Ken, for giving me a bottle to try
A - very cloudy and chock full of yeast chunkies; tangerine colored body, foamy off-white head
S - earthy, piney, spicy and citric hops coupled with bready malt and caramel
T - wickedly and pungently bitter hop tea with tons of pine and grapefruit rind & pith, earthy & spicy hops also, caramel malt doesn't stand a chance against this hop bomb
M - medium body, dry and resinous finish with zest & pine lingering
O - disappointment here. I like my bitter hops but this is too far gone for enjoyment.
