Linus_Stick (1458), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA May 11, 2008 Ugghh...What a mess. I love the can and the name, though. Aroma was weak but could pick up some hops in there if you search for it. Pour was a nice medium gold with a one finger off white head. Taste was very soapy. A hint of pale malt and some bitterness in the aftertaste but the strong soap-ness could not be overlooked. Oily soapy mouthfeel. All in all, not unenjoyable but close.

Pours a hazy golden amber with a creamy white head that lasted for a little while leaving no lacing. Smell is faintly hopped with lemongrass aromas and a bready malt background. I also got a ginger kick in the nose as well. Taste is more heavy on the bready malts with a bit of lemongrass but a strong ginger presence as well - almost like tea. The mouthfeel is light but fairly bitter. The drinkability is pretty good on this one though there is nothing that stands out and it’s only an average APA with less hop presence than I would prefer and pretty muddled taste that doesn’t blend extremely well. SQNfan (353), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Jun 26, 2008 Bottle: This poured copper in color with a fluffy head. The nose showed tropical citrus fruits and light spice. In the mouth it came off as quite flat even though there was quite a bit of small bubbles constantly rushing to the top. So, while it was definitely properly carbonated it just came off as flat, dry and tired. jredmond (573), New Jersey, USA Jun 20, 2008 12 oz can purchased at Penn Station. I was 8 drinks in when I tried this, and I still couldn’t finish it. Aroma is hop and citrus I guess?? taste is smooth , malt and hop. Gross though. nasty just like the two fat billies slapping bellies on the can. Ungstrup (10787), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 25, 2008 Canned. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet grassy and hoppy, but also with lighter notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with a light hop bite in the tongue, leading to a dry medium bitter finish, with notes of grass lingering in the aftertaste. waolsen (906), Littleton, Colorado, USA May 13, 2008 can. copper pour with thin foamy head. rice, earthy hops, light malt aroma. earthy hops, strong apricot and raison, malts are weak. thin body. overall not a very enjoyable beer.
