egajdzis (3598), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2006 Poured a hazy copper color with a medium sized, off white head that left moderate lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus fruits, and and some caramel malts as well. Taste of more pine and caramel, with toffee, light toastiness, and grapefruit finish. weeare138 (933), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2006 Thanks to zrrbrrt for this...
Appears a medium toned, hazy amber with a small off-white head that sLowly fades out. Streaks of lacing was left around the glass.
Smell is creamy, citrusy, with caramel, grass, and biscuits.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas highlighted with earthy, grassy, and citrusy flavors.
Mouthfeel is bitter without much of a sugary, ballsy malt balance that I was craving in this one. Marsiblursi (1631), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 4, 2006 Updated: Oct 10, 2006(Bottle) Pours hazy amber. No head. Fresh, piny hop aroma with exotic fruits like orange, pineapple and apricot. Piney, rasiny hop flavour with good, balanced, grapefruity bitterness/afterbitterness. Medium body. hopscotch (5437), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 3, 2006 Bottle... GABF RB Tasting ’06... Hazy amber ale with a mid-sized, frothy khaki head. A blend of pink grapefruit, pine, black tea, caramel and biscuity malt in the nose. Bittersweet toffee, grapefruit, pine flavor. Medium-bodied and chewy with lively carbonation. Sweet, astringent and then dry finish. Thanks goes out to MIBRomeo for providing the bottle! oh6gdx (8795), Vasa, Finland Oct 3, 2006 Bottled (became rating #2000).
