First off I wasn't impressed with this because it instantly smelled like marijuana to me!

A: A good looking amber golden

S: Weed! Smelled like very dank hops and weed. Which I didn't like at all to be honest.

T: Still had the week on my palate so it tasted like it as well...

M: Typical IPA mouthfeel with a clean finish but still had a lingering weed feel...

O: I'm sure pot smokers would love this but I didn't like it.

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.
