Aroma of fresh citrusy hops mingled with matly sweetness and a just a hint of grain.The flavor is awesome, first you taste fresh hops, some citrus,some floral,and then you get some of the malt sweetness, the flavors deepen as it warms,nice full mouthfeel,with a dry finish.

Sep 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Muddy red brown pour. Light citrusy, floral/piney aroma. Great deep, hoppy, floral, grassy taste with a bitter strike at the end. It’s delicious.

Sep 16, 2008 Right from the start this is a special beer given the aroma. A wonderful citrus and melon aroma with some pine and something that reminds me of taken that first deep breath outside on a clear, cool autumn day on the farm. The flavor is a joy-filled romp of fresh green melon and grapefruit. Maybe a little thing but certainly the best of this type of beer I have ever tasted. I must bring home a six of this.

Sep 13, 2008 Just an absolutely superb brew. Very fruit oriented taste. Finishes off with hints of autumn. A must drink.

Sep 11, 2008 Orange brown pour with a red tint and a light tan had. Intense citrus flavor - orange, pineapple and peach. This stuff does not smell like beer. It literally smells like juice with perhaps some malt mixed in. The flavor is similar. Intense citrus fruit with very little sweetness. Interesting.

Sep 8, 2008 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Great dark hazy amber color with a light brown head that holds and laces very nicely. Nice hoppy aroma (mostly grapefruit citrus) with a bit of an acidic after aroma - not getting much of the caramel malt on the aroma. The flavor is also pleasantly hoppy, though more resinous and piney than grapefruity/citrusy. The malt bill shows itself more in the flavor than in the aroma, though it is still hop dominated. Slight acidic flavor coupled with dry resinous hop bitterness. Smooth medium body on the palate, alcohol hidden well, sift pleasant carbonation. Overall: great, I would love to try this on tap at the source to taste it in its freshest state. I would like to see a bit more of the malt come out on the flavor too. Not at all what I expected but good. If you like hops you will enjoy this.
