Found at Discount Liquor Waukesha with a bottle date of 2/9/12 (5 days old @_@). Unpasteurized, unfiltered, brewed with honey.

A - Pours a nice 2 finger head, nice lacing, hazy dark gold color

S - pine, tropical, citrusy fruits

T - Pine first, followed by pineapple and tangerine, finishes dry with grapefruit flavors. There is a sweetness in there but its subtle and I cant say its honey even though I know thats probably what I am tasting.

M - Medium body and carbonation, smooth and incredibly balanced

O - I am shocked the hype on this was well deserved. I would say this tastes like a cross between Lupulin Maximus and Double Trouble. Very complex for the style as there are alot of flavors here for an IIPA and not your typical pineapple and grapefruit. Loving the lacing, aroma, and smooth mouth feel. This may be the best beer I have ever had.
