Picked this up at Wine and Wares in Jacksonville NC. Poured an orange/amber color with a 1 finger head. Floral scents in the nose. Medium body. Zesty carbonation. Taste is some up front bitterness from the hops, citrus notes, a touch piney, with a bready/cake-like sweet malt to smooth things out. Hops stay prominent, with a bitter/sweet finish that leans slightly more to the bitter, but remains pleasant. Also a bit of warming in the finish, which is the only time I noticed the 9% ABV.

0.35 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere. Amber color. Sweetish aroma with perfumed piney and lemony hops. Bittersweet flavor with toffeish maltiness lemony, grapefruity and piney hops. This bottle had probaply lost some of its freshness.

Amber color with a nice head. Smell is intense and hoppy but not too much. Taste is smooth, crisp, and highly hopped but goes down easy.

Pours a clear deep-orange with a hint of red. Head is off white to tan. Aroma is strong hops, floral. The taste is amazing, just the right amount of bitterness from hops but the nicest thing is the very strong malty presence. It has a very heavy sweetness to it that nicely compliments the hops. Very full bodied, with a sticky-creamy palate. Very strong and warming, but wonderfully balanced.

Pours a golden brown color with medium head. Great piney aroma, even more so than the 60 Minute. Citrusy, piney, fresh-tasting East coast hops balanced by sweet malt. Medium-full bodied with a really smooth palate. Extremely drinkable given the alcohol content and bitterness.

12 oz bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Amber color, low off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some alcohol. Full, bitter flavor with plenty of piny hops and a syrupy caramel malt finish. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Worth tasting, if not my personal favorite.

A strong finishing beer. I drank this after a day of nachos and lighter sweeter beers. I am no hop head. This beer will seduce anyones taste buds with its massive flavor. You cant chug this beer. If you want something to get you ready to stumble out of the bar and leave a good taste in your mouth on the ride home then buy this beer. Got it at Highlands Grill, if you live in GA any where north of ATL then get here. Its the best.

This is a fantasic beer - hoppy but not overly dry or bitter. Color is great and it taste even better. Bitterness is nively balanced with malt so it is easy to drink - too easy?. Be careful with this one,.,
