Jan 6, 2010 Bottled. A darker red with a smaller tan head. Aroma is caramel but overly floral and fruity (peach); pungent and impressive. Flavor accents this floral bombshell with big spices and tons of rye. Biting, tight, crisp and beautiful. Booze is present but mild. A beer that really made my night. I’ve finished the brew but I can’t stop smelling the bottle... I might take it to bed with me!

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle. Pours a clear reddish amber with a thin very light brown head. Aroma has strong pine notes with a hint of rye and a touch of citrus. Flavor starts with a strong pine note and a strong presence of rye. The finish is more just pine based with a bit of sweet malt and rye.

Jan 2, 2010 12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a cloudy red-orange color with a creamy off-white head that leaves even lacing in the glass. Aroma of rye, malts, grapefruit citrus, dry hops, and floral notes. The hops pop a little more as it warms and gets lower. Flavor is heavier on the rye and caramel malts, with dry, bitter hops, grapefruit, bread, and pepper. Dry, malty mouthfeel and medium body. Dry finish of rye and bitter hops. Smooth, with low carbonation. Cool beer.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: clear amber red look with large fine creamy head.
Nose: superb freshness found in it. Quality blend of hops with brown malt with soft character of rye.
Flavor/Palate : fontal woody bitterness with fresh leafy top. Toffee behind., crystal malt . Finishing bit peppery. Some carbonation dryness helps with frontal heavy hop. Clean mature formula. Gem of a brew.

Dec 28, 2009 Grapefruit! More than any other beer I’ve ever had. Wow. I’m going to have this again, and see if I can detect the rye more, but right now, one of the best ways to deliver delicious hop flavor into your gullet - and balanced well with sweetness, too.
