mcberko (2470) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 20, 2012
12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a medium beige head. Aroma is citrusy hops and pungent tropical fruits mainly, with a generous backing of caramel malt. Flavour of citrus hops, grapefruit, some pineapple, a bit of resin, and buttery caramel malt to back. Very little astringency considering this is supposedly 108 IBUs. Low-to-medium sweetness. Excellent.

tmoreau (1347) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - MAY 12, 2012
12 oz. bottle poured to a Czech-pils glass at Lunar Brewing Co., showing a hazed, orange/golden color, a nice layer of persistent, off white/light cream colored head foam, and loosely woven appearance to the clingy lacing. The nose was expressive and perfumey tangerine, with a bit of bright grapefruit and resin to mellow any sweetness. The flavor started with creamy, substantial malt, then was tempered by a very presentable, subtly lingering, hop bitterness. The abv was present but nicely restrained. Bold notes, good balance, and nicely drinkable.

Bottle to oversized snifter (thanks, elkhunter36). Looks good; burnt-orange with nice head. Smells good too; nice and hoppy! Tastes...good. Hoppy, but very balanced. Mouthfeel is (what else?) good. Overall, a VERY good beer.

Scipio (185) - Vernon Hills, Illinois, USA - MAY 2, 2012
Pours a bright golden yellow with a thinner white head. Aroma is heavy in citrus, with grapefruit, pineapple, and pine. Extremely hoppy taste. Big citrus flavor, very grassy as well. Pine, grapefruit, orange, pineapple. This isn’t extremely complex all around, but what is here is quite delicious. Sticky texture, with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I am very happy with this beer.
