Sampled on tap at Sun Up Brewing; March 2011
The beer arrives from the tap with a somewhat hazed, copper color that is topped by a pale tan colored head. The aroma smells of bright, tropical fruit notes that are a mix of floral peach, lychee and some mango even. This is backed by a softer, herbaceous character that is mostly pine like in scent.
The beer tastes quite floral, which is joined by lots of tropical fruit notes, touches of peach blossom and lots of expressive fruit hop character. There is a a big bitter note in this beer that mixes with a herbaceous, pine like at times, sort of green / raw hop character. The beer tastes quite dry after having eaten my lunch, but it has some texture to it that provides some heft to it; really though it is light and drinkable like a good IPA should be. I am definitely enjoying this beer, it is nice and hoppy and is quite quaffable; it seems “balanced” somehow despite being an aggressively hopped beer.

Sampled 3/4/2011 at the brewpub.
Pours ugly/hazy undercarbed (no bubbles coming out) dark yellow with some white head and low retention and lacing.
Aroma is hops and more hops. Weed, pine, a touch of body odor, and some fish food make them selves known in the aroma.
Flavor is weed, tropical fruits (possibly pineapple and mango), old hops/fish food, and BO. Wow, this is considerably hoppier than the base version (Trooper IPA). I also get some sweetness and a hint of butter that is more present in the base version of the beer. Surprisingly not bitter, but then this is cask.
Body is light/medium, would be helped by some CO2. Drinkable.
