Aroma of citrus, elder, pine-needle and that kind of hoppy stuff. Flavour is hoppy, with citrus, flowery notes, elder, pine-needle and grapefruit. The bitterness is great. There’s also some malt coming through in the end, bringing a caramel/toffee flavour. Extremely fullbodied in the palate, fantastic, thick and long-lasting. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2008 bomber. Pours a clear, golden orange with a thin off-white head. Nose is of citrus, but not strong. Taste is of citrus with pine and caramel. The mouthfeel is powerful with crisp, biting hops with a bitter finish. Good brew for me. tedovertu (260), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Grapefruit hoppiness in the aroma. Small white virtually non lacing head. Murky amber/orange color with large particles floating around. Moderately bitter finish that is long lasting on the back end. Medium body that is rather dry in nature. Soft carbonation with a moderate alcohol presence. mesperon (134), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Deep dark amber, head is nice but disappears quickly, lots of sedimant. Arome is great, floral and hoppy with a strong taste of sweet and tart apricot. Taste is all on the back end. It starts ith just a bit of bite, fairly carbonated feel, not much on the tongue. Flavor comes in like a landside on the finish, almost like an aftershock. Very very floral and hoppy sweet apricot and herbal and pine flavor. Very warming onthe way down like a shot of Jameson. 9.1 abv is definitelythere, but doesn’t kill the flavor. 83 IBU’s are definitely there, but are not at all offensive. Great taste. Buzz comes on strong on n empty stomach. 7/25/08 Furseth (1328), Kungälv, Sweden

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 18, 2008 Updated: Jan 10, 20091 pint, 6 fl oz bottle. Lots of piny, herbal hops, some citrus lemon, also some sweeter earthy and caramel malt tones in the aroma. Pours very nice medium-small soft and creamy white head, mostly dissipates, pretty good lacing, pumpkin orange color, minor carbonation, fairly opaque, no particulate. Flavor is big, but pretty straightforward and well balanced despite the huge piny hop presence throughout, a toasty caramel malt does show through, i also get some melon fruit in there somewhere, long lasting heavy clinging bitter finish/aftertaste is nice but not outstanding, slight bite in the beginning, medium mouthfeel. Overall, this beer is just really really solid, well made.
