on tap at kelly’s. poured a clear amber with a medium off white head that hung out and laced very nicely. smells of sprucy hops with a grapefruit citrus mixed in, and a bit of caramel malt to back it up. taste has a deep hop flavor profile, like grapefruit growing from a pine tree, with a hint of bready malt. moderately bitter on the finish and a bit of a grainy mouthfeel, with a medium body and quite a bit of carbonation. i really dig the hop complexity.

Sep 18, 2008 Updated: Oct 4, 2008On tap at Old Chicago as "liberally hopped ale" this beer looked like the rice beer Samurai and tasted like it but with more hops. Crisp, drinkable and with heavy carbonation but I was not too impressed.

Sep 17, 2008 Easy to drink, fresh, hoppy and fun. Rather light in general but it adds to the drinkability wich is a nice combination with the hoppiness in this beer.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear amber with a white head. Grassy and floral aroma with a nice caramel malt balance. The flavor is floral, grassy, and herbal, and again very well balanced. Not bad.

Aug 31, 2008 2007 Bottle. Pours with a largish, slightly yellow, rocky white head that leaves lots of lacing. Ever so slightly hazed amber body. Tangy orange-citrus hops on the nose with a touch of cannabis. Taste is m alty with some light, but dank, chewy hops rounding out the finish (but bitterness is very moderate). Full, slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
