Jan 2, 2008 (330 ml (bottled 7/07, part of a Shelton Bros. Christmas gift pack) from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/topsham/b target=blank>Bootleggers) Pours murky amber with a smallish off-white head. Aroma is fairly strong pine with a bit of rock candy. Mouthfeel is soft, smooth and medium-full. Flavor is mostly pine and bitter, not to the degree of a big IPA or anything but definitely tips the scale towards hops with only a weak malt backbone to support it. Very light rock candy and caramel malt sweetness underneath pine. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Not bad but not balanced enough.

Dec 31, 2007 Pours a hazy yellow/orange color with a sticky, long lasting, beige head. The aroma is mostly sourdough with some earthy hops. Flavors are dirty, earthy hops, with pine needles, musty horseblanket, and some mild clove. A very interesting beer, a little on the watery side, though.

Dec 29, 2007 11.2 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Viewed as a hazed and gloomy bright orange with a firm topping of head. In the nose, light citrus is detected as well as spiced yeast and a soft reminder of soap. The flavor is very putrid and carries a strong sour and bitter taste that is not to my liking. Aftertaste is metallic strange. Glad I had only purchased the small bottle instead of the normal sized one.

Dec 29, 2007 The body looks very "unfiltered", but all doubts disappear when you start drinking it. This is one of the best Yulebeer I’ve had, and it surprised all my guest at +mas table.
