Nice burnt-orange appearance with a one inch, off-white head. Great Brussel’s lace. A clean, fruity finish. Not fantastic, but worth a try.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2007 I got this beer through my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a copper color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma is light floral hops with light tangy malts underneath.The flavor is light floral and fruity hops with light malts underneath. There is a sour nutty flavor on the finish. A very pleasant if unspectacular beer.

I don’t remember who brought it to the January gathering, but I think it was Mullman. Anyway, on with the rating. Poured a pale amber with a fizzy off-white head. Bubble gum and grapefruit hops aroma. Flavor is one-dimensional hoppiness with a toffee finish. Light, pretty straight-forward, not bad.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 ELPADRINO (70) - The Woodlands, Texas, USA - JAN 28, 2006
Pours cloudy yellow with 1 inch head. Weak hops aroma. Taste is bitter hops with a dry bitter aftertaste. Decent body, but too much acidity leaves the taste with hints of detergent.

In the bottle. Thanks to pman for this one! A January 2006 Beer-of-the-Month Club selection. Pours a pretty much expected rich gold color that just falls shy of amber. The head is thick, white and full of large carbonation foam bubbles. Residual lacing is pronounced. A mixed aroma that is a little pungent from the hops, but also a smell of cotton candy. Interesting complexity. Medium hop bitterness. Medium carbonation. Sort of a metallic mouthflavor resides far too long on the tongue. Has a lingering bitterness as it warms. The metallic taste hurts the beer.
