Sampled at 1702, Tucson December 2009
This beer arrives from that tap a brilliantly clear, full gold to light copper color. The head is creamy textured, a pale tan color and a half-finger thick. The aroma has a herbal sort of grassy note to it as well as a pine needle scent up front. Behind this are notes of citrus, lychee, bergamot, grapefruit and floral apricot and tropical fruit hop notes. There is a clean, cracked malt aroma that is just noticeable underneath the ample hop onslaught.
This is very herbal tasting and bitter, but there is a substantial citrus hop bite here as well that helps to keep this "hop-balanced". This is well carbonated, especially for a draft offering, it is quit prickly, but has a fullness to it that helps to carry the ample hop character; ultimately it is quite quaffable though. Other hop flavors of tropical fruit evoke thoughts of lychee, floral peach and orange blossoms. Bitter and herbal notes definitely dominate, but I really like the ample (though quite smooth) fruitiness that the hops provide too.
This is a really nice hop harvest beer. It has great, aggressive hop levels to it without being overly harsh. I could definitely drink a lot of this beer.

I am partial to the fruity hop aroma but this is a good herbal hop dominated beer. If you like the herbal bitterness then you'll enjoy this beer. 3.75
A - Pours a cloudy pale orange with a white head that maintains at least a thin layer throughout the drink. Great lacing - 4
S - That grassy herbal hoppiness dominates with some low level grapefruit (not an Enjoy By). Good malty undertones that provide a good hop/malt balance but hops still hop dominate. 3.5
T - Herbal bitterness lasting on the palate. 3.5
MF- Med body. Dry finish. Fresh hoppy tingle. A bit creamy. 4

On tap it pours a bright ember orange with a nice two finger fluffy bone white head.
Smells of fresh cut grass, and loads of pineapple/grapefruit. Touch of a peppery earth note, but wow this smells fresh.
Taste is up front very acidic with lemons and grapefruit. Bitterness is high but is pleasant since its such a fresh tasting beer. Backend has a slight herbal/earthy note that leads into a burnt brown sugar aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated and feels sharp and dry.
Overall, this is a really pleasant freshly hopped beer that really shows why wet hopped ipa's are great. There's a sense of freshness you just don't get elsewhere. A definite try for those loving the wet hopped varieties.
