Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light hoppy and straw notes, the flavor is sweet malty with light metallic notes, leading to a slightly bitter and dry end.

Dark ruby with creamy head. Huge flowery citrusy hop aroma. Rather dry, nicely malty, bitterish finish, but it actually feels surprisingly mild. Extremely hop aromatic and very drinkable. Thanks PsychProf for sending me this!

Bright reddish-amber; big cascade nose; light pale maltiness, well-balanced citrus - wood, pale and amber malts. Very nicely balanced. Dry, pithy, citrusy finish.

Bottle at Hop Leaf, Chicago
Light amber color. The aroma is a bit eggy, but it has a nice malt and caramel flavor, crispy, with a good hopping. Very good.

(12oz bottle, best by 11/24/04) Small off-white head atop a hazy amber body. Aroma is grapefruit, floral, caramel, bready, faint sourness. Taste is grapefruit, floral, bread, caramel. Finishes pretty bitter grapefruit and some bread. Medium body, quite drinkable. Very enjoyable beer with a good malt backbone to balance a still powerful hoppiness -- a bit too high an ABV for a session, but I could still see trying to make it a session beer.
