Bottle from HomeBrewStuff. Dark golden airy head subsides to thin skin. Straight forward hoppy aroma. Taste is also all about the hops, sharp and biting. Malts carry this hop bomb to the finish line .for a minute there, I swore I was in Knee Deep territory...

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Hazy orange colour, low white head. Strong hoppy aroma, notes of oranges, grapefruit and pine. The flavour has some malty sweetness, but not more than needed to balance the intense hoppy character, with notes of oranges, grapefruit and resin. Bitter finish, of course. Warming mouthfeel.

Poured from a brown 22 oz. bottle. Has a cloudy, orange/beige color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is dank, herbal, malts, light citrus. Taste is bitter, dank, resin, some malts, just a touch of alcohol, did I mention bitter? Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall, if you are looking for a hop bomb, you will find it here.

Aroma is very spicy/dank hops and citrus/fruit. The flavor is citrus, fruit, grapefruit, malts, mild tropical fruit and a mix of spicy hops, bitterness and slight sweetness in the finish.

Poured from 22 oz bomber into snifter. No bottle date, but was told it was bottled on 1/26.
A: Clear golden Amber with 2 finger white head. Nice retention and leaving some moderate lacing.
S: Big dank, earthy and floral hops dominant the nose. Grapefruit, oranges, and pine cones.
T: Full on hop assault without being overly bitter. Some citrus with grapefruit and orange peel. Pine and herbal hops. Alcohol is reasonably well hidden here.
M: Medium body with fairly light carbonation and oily hops resins coating the tongue.
O: If you are a fan of big beers and big hops, then this would be right up your alley. Recommended for sure if you can find it fresh.

This beer pours a very cloudy orange color with a 2 finger frothy off white head. Retention is great and there is a lot of spotted lacing. Smell is sweet and bready malt with some pine, grapefruit and bitter dankness. Taste is the same, but way too malty and boozy. Feel is heavy side of medium, oily and sticky. Overall it's not bad, but a bit of a boozy/malty mess. Devil Dancer is the immediate comparison that comes to mind, but I much prefer Devil Dancer to this.
