Easy to drink a hint of bitter. I recommend you try it.

Lives up to the hype. Probably the best balanced IPA I have ever had. Very nice floral citrus nose. Good malt backbone, some bitter hops, some citrus, some grapefruit. Smooth and drinkable at the high abv. Damn near perfect.

Almost identical hop profile to MBC Lunch, but more intense and fuller bodied. Great double ipa.

This beer is quite near perfection in a glass. Very big (HUGE) and malty with high alcohol but balanced very nicely on all 3 planes. Don't find it often but always happy when I do!

Maybe it had just been hyped so much... This beer really fell short of my expectations. It felt flat on the tongue and not as full bodies as I would have hoped. Decent. Nothing to write home about.

Perfection in an IPA. Silky smooth, grapefruit hops but not overly done, great balance. Could drink this all dat long. Bottle, April 2014.
