Jul 3, 2008 Bottle shared by CaptainCougar. Light copper color, a bit of haze but not much. Nose if pungent, spicy thyme and cannabis hops, pineapple rind and pungent, stinky, sugar-coated, assertive hops. A bit messy, I’ll admit, but still it’s quite straightforward with respect to hops, and ultimately it’s tasty. Bit of alcohol shows up after a little time, which I could do without, but overall it’s nice.

Jul 3, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Pours a slightly hazy orange-amber color; white head with a foamy perimeter of bubbles. Loads of resiny oranges, earthiness, and sweet candy sugar in the aroma; definitely sweet, but nice, soft, intense hop character. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: resiny, sweete orange and tree fruit hoppiness; surprisingly little astringency; very sweet, chewy candy sugar core; a bit heavy on the palate, but generous and enjoyable. Lengthy, bitter finish: tongue-numbing oranges and fruity hops; sugar and toasty malts; some lingering sweetness.

Jul 1, 2008 Bomber from bevmo. Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Fresh Hoppy Nose. Taste is a big piney resin punch. Pretty good overall.

Jun 30, 2008 Pours ambers with a dense, lasting, head of microscopic bubbles. Hops in the aroma are mostly of pine. Some alcohol comes through as well. Flavor is earthy pine, sweet, with a smooth bitterness. Pretty decent.

Jun 30, 2008 From a 22ounce bottle purchased at New Seasons Market (7 corners) in Portland, OR--Poured a sticky copper color with hints of amber and a small wispy white head. Nose of piny, piquant hops and some caramel malts. Over ridden by everything is the cloying hopfeel and the piny stickiness. I didn’t like the cloying factor, but it was ok.

Jun 28, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours copper color with quickly dissipating head. Aroma is more mart than hops. Taste is fairly sweet and mouthfeel is quite light.. Citrrus and some pine hop taste but doesn’t linger very long. I’d like a little more hoppiness. This is disappointing to me.
