DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Dec 4, 2007 Hops in a bottle.Hoppy nose with hops and malts on the flavor.Add some bitterness to it and that is how it also finished. bp (451), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 3, 2007 Bottle: Pours a cloudy, redish orange with very little head, hoppy, citrus aroma, flavor is hoppy, a bit bitter and dry, with a pretty mellow finish, this is a nice brew, certainly worth having again. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Dec 1, 2007 The color was a medium orange/brown. The head was creamy, light beige, and laced a little. The aroma was hoppy, citris, rye, and light pine. The flavor was slightly bitter, hoppy, light alcohol, and some pine. The palate was averagea and the finish, clean. Zinister (1199), Houston, Texas, USA Nov 30, 2007 Thanks to kryptic for this bottle. Deep amber-orange pour with initial two inch head that settles into a thinness with great lacing. Noticed a very piney, floral nose right away...and not much else, which is fine by me. Flavor is hops right up front (POW!) with that great rye to tone it down a bit near the finish. Finish is dry and bitter...just lovely. Thanks kryptic...loved this. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Nov 29, 2007 Updated: Apr 22, 2008When I had this beer for the first time I gave it a solid 4 ratings, but I remember saying to myself....I think I am going to change that number with my next bottle. Well the next day I bought my second and third bottles and MAN!!! what a beer....Dark orange, definitely rooted in a English bitter....my new favorite beer to have with a sandwich...rich and dry, very tasty, full flavored but very drinkable...a great session beer. Drink it daily and smile, because you are giving yourself a little taste of luxury. Tessic (439), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Nov 27, 2007 This ale poured a dark orange colour with a white rocky head. To the nose there was scents of strong hopps, pine and floral bouqets. First taste was smooth with good carbonation. Flavours include rye bread, pine (hopps), grass and citrus. The finish is bitter with strong hopp flavour that last through into the palate. NobleSquirrel (1100), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 24, 2007 A pretty tasty pour, on tap. Lots of hoppy character with some spice, though tastes more like a good hoppy red ale. Citrus and spicy. Quite nice. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Nov 21, 2007 Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Carmal brown color with citrus hop nose. Faint hop finish with rye character on it.
