jason (1473), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 16, 2008 Draft. Cloudy Orange brown body with nice head, close to being a five. Aroma is a nice blend of citrus hops and malt. Flavor is a huge hop bomb, but in a good way. Noticable citrus and a slightly rough malty body made it pretty smooth. Bar labeled it at 10%.
DocLock (4047), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 22, 2008 Draft. Pours hazy coppery with off-white head. Nose is piney hops, mango, tangerine. Tastes assertively hoppy with caramel malt, tangerine, and honeydew notes. Hefty, complex palate. This one is outstanding. sja14 (48), Ohio, USA Jun 25, 2008 Updated: Jul 21, 2008On tap at Brew Kettle. They just replaced the Racer 5 keg with Racer X and I was very happy because the X was a damn good, hoppy beer. The color is cloudy amber with a delicious hop aroma. The flavor is of hops, hops, with a little hops to finish it off. Nice balance. pepsican (645), the beer wastelands of, Iowa, USA Jun 21, 2008 Served from a growler. Amber pour with a medium sized off white head. Huge citrus hop aroma. Flavor is grapefruit, cantaloupe, orange, earth, oh yeah, and a bit of caramel malt. Finishes pretty bitter with a nice sweet lingering malt finish. This is very good. Unfortunately almost all of the growler leaked out on me and I only got about 8 ounces of this total. moejuck (1111), Ohio, USA Jun 12, 2008 On tap at Buckeye Beer Engine. This stuff is great. One of the best brews I’ve had in a long time. Muddy orange pour with a nice frothy head. The aroma was lots of caramel malt with the a perfect citrus scent. Great aroma. The mouthfeel is perfect in my opinion. Thick enough, but leaves you wanting to drink more and more. The taste is a fantastically balanced mix of sweet, caramel malt and a wonderful pine hop presence. Really flavorful and tasty stuff. If they bottled this I would buy it buy the truckload! Jvittorio4187 (255), Boardman, Ohio, USA Jun 9, 2008 On tap. Pours a hazy amber. Aroma is sweet with alot of grapefruit. Taste is semi sweet with hints of tart and bitter fruit. Finish is smooth, but has alot of grapefruit. Not bad, like the Racer 5, just bigger.
