It doesn't taste as syrupy to me two months old, but the feeling of concentrated hop resin is still here in force. Bitter and dank and best drunk slightly warmer, I think.
Delightful fruity IPA. Lovely pineapple notes at the front. Finishes smooth and crisp. Thank god I have another bottle!
Pure resin extract. Very powerful and fragrant resinous flavors, but, strangely enough, without the usual bitterness. Has quite a powerfull resinous and floral smell as well.
This tasted pretty much like concentrated hop syrup. The flavors were basically good; what you'd expect from Fremont, but so intense here that it was hard to take this beer seriously. The finish was impressively not bitter, given all that, however.
