750 ml, bottle, cork comes out with a big pop, nice golden orange color, very good body and finish however taste is a bit thin, with a little more in the middle this could be really good

Nov 19, 2008 Bottled. Hazy orange color with very lacy white head. Strong and crisp hoppy aroma with robust citrus. The flavor and aroma are both dominated by strong and earthy Simcoe hops with orange peel, grapefruit, pear and Belgian yeast notes. Light and tingly carbonation accentuates the crisp palate even further. Finishes very dry with lasting bitterness.

Oct 31, 2008 draft @ uber - mostly clear and a beautiful candy-red orange mix; huge white head; aromas of just amazing; sweet candy, spice and malty; drinks dry with lingering sweetness, but flavors are a little flat; this one is all about the nose

Oct 25, 2008 Draught. Pours a hazy orange-gold, with a small off-white head and a wall of lacing. Nose is citrusy, a little yeast also. Not a big nose. Taste starts off with a citrusy hops and some lightly sweet, biscuity malt, just a bit toasty, made sharper by the firm carbonation, and a bit of a dry. Spicy yeast note. Hops turn more resiny around mid-palate, and then the yeast takes over with a big dryness - it’s like the taste is just sucked into a wall of off-dryness, from which emerges a nice, lingering pine bitterness to complement the yeast. Dryness lets up just a bit after awhile, letting the flavor of the yeast peek through carrying just a bit of the biscuity malt. Mouthfeel is firmly carbonated, medium bodied, just a bit oily. I would drink this beer again,

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle from BevMo in Vacaville, CA. Nice aromas of citrus hop over medium malt. Slightly hazy copper color. Very little head, but there are huge bubbles in the bottle. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is sweet malt which is rapidly submerged in a hop mix. Think there’s grapefruit and maybe a little resin. It finishes dry, but it doesn’t. It’s astringent towards the back of the mouth. It’s dry towards the front. Sweet keeps hanging somewhere. Goes bitter on the sides. My mouth keeps trying to curl around it; arguably a bit sticky, but not sweet sticky. Burps most brilliantly. Just keeps on getting better; better all the time...
