2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: NOV 23, 2005 Thin, reedy grapefruit monstering around as a nicely colored but anorexic beer one might find anywhere. Have I said anything about the body and the flavor? Thin and acidic, but not in a good way. Not infected, just one dimensional! I usually like this dimension too.

On tap at PH, pours a hazy copper brown color with thick white head that was pretty lasting, lacing was average. Aromas are light...bready malt, wood, and some light pine. Taste is peanut brittle, malt, spicy pine, and a touch of lemon bitterness. Finishes with a lightly rusty character that I wasn’t a huge fan of. I’m thinking this one wasn’t as fresh as could be even though it was on tap or maybe a bad batch. The score seems real high.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bomber, pours hazy orange gold, off white head. Aroma is citrus, graham cracker, caramel, malt, some peat. Flavor is hoppy and bitter, sweet (graham cracker) and thin. Some peat detected as well. I can’t say I’m a fan.

Barely there aroma with an attractive amber pour, smooth taste and balanced mouthfeel.

On tap @ Specific Gravity, Salisbury Md-Golden pour w/a moderate white head. Citrus hop aroma. Overly aggressive hop bite, some grass/grain, not really a whole lot else here. Tasted more like an IPA to me (that’s what they were calling it@ the bar) & not a very good one @ that. Extremely out of balance, I wouldn’t drink this again.

Big 22 oz bomber bottle into a big beer glass. Fresh hoppy floral aroma, not pine. Hazy brew with a lighter than iced tea color. Plenty of carbonation within, tho not much on the palate. Not exceptionally acrid hoppy but certainly plenty of hops. Bitter medicine feel about it. Yep, borders on IPA territory. Weirdly fruity at times. Long lingering nasty finish. Too much for this lager lover. You can tell this is 6% fer sure. A stronger flavored APA.
1.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from Pflug. Clear orange pour. Wet, citrus hop aroma. Taste is rough. Rubber bands and pine. Unpleasant finish with an aftertaste that lingers like a stank ass fart.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle from Cavie. Smells like Christmas trees. I’m not a fan of a lot of Hops, and the hops are very prevalant. A slight musk smell is also noticed.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Newer label. green foil. Buttery and not hoppy. This one is pretty crappy. The bottling date is indecipherable.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
I had this from a 22oz bottle. I must of had a bad bottle, because when I looked at the 95 rating I thought was this the same beer. I thought the color was a golden brown with a thin head. The smell was hops with what I thought smelled like peanuts. The taste was a mix of that hops with peanuts. I have to say I hated it I poured it down the drain.I will give it a 2nd try if I see it on tap.
