4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Golden to amber pour. Strong fruity c-hop nose, with some tropical fruits and bubble gum esters. In the mouth the beer cascades trough a series of fruit followed by a bitterness that balances the flavor. Very good.

It was good, but not what I was hoping for. It was a golden color beer, though I had hoped for a deep black.

[Tap] Pours a dark shade of yellow with a nice cap of foam head. Light malts, grains, and a spicy hop nose to it. The flavor was more bland, unfortunately. Moderately bitter, with grapefruit and pine. Besides that a combination of light malts and lingering alcohol burn didn’t sit well with me. Syrupy, with average carbonation. Honestly, I really wasn’t sure in which direction this beer was trying to go.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub (Bloomington, IL). Pours a brighter golden hazed hue, decent whitish head dies to a sturdy film, laces ok. Aromas are pilsner malts, a touch of honey sweetness, grassy floral hops come in, a touch of lemon. Initial is medium bodied, a good soapiness, cereal grains, a touch of sweeter honey with a moderate bitterness of lemon and grass, weeds, a touch of spice pairs well with a warming boozy finish, dry and bitter, the sweetness from the more hefty malt body holds on though. Not bad, a more drinkable imerpail pils, warm and lingering bitter lightly mellow sweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at DeStihl. This isn’t the correct abv, should be 9%. Anyway, pours a hazy yellow. Nose is very noble and spicy. pils malt as well. On taste, nice round body and big hop character, though soft. Very drinkable and dangerous. Nice.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Arrived to the table a deep hazy golden color with a small white head. Nose is very faint with a mild orange citrus, light grainy malt note and a mild leafy/piny bitterness at the end. Flavor was a bit more tame than I expected. Mild orange/lemon citrus, faint grainy middle and a hefty leafy bite for style. Heavy body, fine carbonation and a very smooth texture. Overall a good brew with a nice balance of nothing extraordinary and nothing ordinary.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
First to rate! 4/30/10. On tap at the brewpub. Wasn’t a huge fan. Tastes a bit soapy and is fairly undercarbonated.
