kidmartinek (776), austin, Texas, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours dark cloudy brown with a small head. Strong floral hop aroma. Good mixed taste of caramel malts and hops with hops dominating. Flavor is amazingly flavorful. DidI just say that? Yes. mouth feel is medium full. Finish is a little sweet.
oreogobbler (202), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 24, 2008 Draught: Citrus fruit aroma, some pineapple, dry grass, and some hops.
Cloudy dark orange, filmy ring of a head patchy. Strong orange flavor, piny wood, dry hop finish. Palate is smooth but a bit too dry. fly (1249), austin, Tejas, USA Mar 18, 2008 Was going to say that nothing beats a free beer, but have had far too many try to pawn off Shiner, etc. So nothing beats a free beer that’s GOOD. Excellent aroma and a flavor and body that stand up even after having a LH Widdershins. Job welll done. Need to get back and have some more.
MMMmmmm Simcoe! pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 6, 2007 Updated: Jan 16, 200810-12-07 tap. Amazing citris grapefruit aroma. No soapy smell or taste. Perfect amount of fruit in smell and flavor. Thick murky amber. Somewhat slow moving and stagnant on the palate but I don’t mind it at all. It is quite drinkable and enjoyable. Would love to have another! lb4lb (1545), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 13, 2007 Wow, I actually really loved this beer. Very nicely done.<br />
Rich dark orangish honey colored pour with just a light short lived head. Smell is big big big and sweet citrusy grapefruit like hops. No soapy, cleaning product hop aroma like lots of IPAs seem to have. Taste is extremely balanced, not overly hopped, incredibly smooth and drinkable with a similar hop flavor to the smell and a nice mild sweetness to round it out. Same fruity quality to it I tend to get from their other beers, but in this one it really seems to add to the beer and fits perfectly. Huge hops aroma, yet a smooth milder hop flavor and bitterness makes this easily one of my favorite IPAs ever. A must try.
