Jun 22, 2009 Draft. Pours a hazy amber with a creamy, light tan head. Pine, resin, and malt sweetness in a strangely familiar nose. Medium carbonation with a medium-light, dry mouthfeel. Hops dominate the palate on this one. Big pine notes, a little sweetness from the malt, and then more bitterness poured on top. A lingering, bitter finish. Rye and lots of hops says it all. Good, but I am not sure I would want to session this one.

Jun 22, 2009 This is a very unique and drinkable with lots of character in its aroma and flavor. If you like hoppy beers, you are going to love this. Had this at my favorite Thai restaurant and it went with the spicy food and the sushi appetizers perfectly.

Jun 21, 2009 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was strong fruity and floral hops with light nutty malts underneath. The flavor was strong fruity and piney hops with light caramel, nut and pepper elements and a long piney hop finish. Nice.

Jun 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 24, 2009Draft at Earth Bread and Brewery in Philly. Pours orange amber with an off white head. Huge piny floral hop aroma with some sweeter malt in the background. The flavor follows with more piny and floral hops, with some lighter notes of sweet malts, citrus, spices and maybe a hint of rye. Awesome.

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a large, creamy, off-white head with good lacing and a clear, amber body. Average malt aroma of caramel, cereal and toast. Heavy hop presence, primarily floral and citrus and a bit perfumey. Medium bodied and slightly sticky. A little resinous from the hops. Average carbonation with a bitter finish. Overall a good beer, but I was hoping that the rye would play a slightly larger role. Seemed to get dominated by the hops.
