Made with seven hop varieties, this deep copper-orange IPA is loaded with juicy hop notes of pine, lemon zest, and a layer of pink grapefruit and a strong foundation of toasted caramel malts underneath it all give this beer a complexity that's unparalleled.

12oz brown bottle,served into a flaired tulip glass.
Clear meduim copper color with a 2" off-white creamy head. Good retention leaving some lace curtians atop the glass. Well carbinated with some tiny bubbles stringing from the sides of the aglss and constiant streams rising from the center from the glass.
Strong,very complex hop aroma spicy/earthy/woody,grapefruit,grassy,herbal,lots of mint,piney comes through as the beer warms. Nothing other than hops,lots of late hop additions and dry hopping the aroma's would suggest.
Piney,resinous tastes up front,a bit of a suprize,not mush pine aroma,although they did come through as the beer warmed. Turns grapefruitty as the pine tames down. Has a suprizingly good balance for all the hoppyness. Lots of sweet honeyied maltiness.Has a toungue wrenching hop finish with mouthwatering grapefruittyness. Yet not to overbearing,very nice.
Medium bodied with some syrupy/cloyingness. A good ipa with a very interesting hop profile.Just can't imagine drinking more than a couple of these. had this beer and didn't really like it,maybe the beer has changed or my tastebuds have changed. Either way,a beer worth a try.

Darker than average color for an ipa, this had an auburn and light brown appearance. Big almost 2" head. Aroma was very woody and not hoppy. Seems all bittering hops up in here.
Taste was a big time caramel malt impression. Substantially bitter and mild alcohol warmth. I think some Simcoe came through, but really, for something named hops infusion, this was a muddled typical grapefruit and caramel type of scenario taste wise. Label artwork was rad, I might be boosting the overall score because of it, I dunno.
Any proclaimed complexity is laughable, this is just a big bitter, big crystal malt ipa that has been done thousands of times.
