| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2008 Bottle from ucusty. Copper color. Grassy citrus hops. Toasty malt. Some sweetness with grassy, citrus hops in the finish. Some floral aspects too. Pretty strong bitterness but still a great toasty caramel malt balance. Maybe a bit of vanilla flavor too. Very good and drinkable. juiceisloose (667), Windermere, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2008 Courtesy Crizay. This one poured a deep blood red color with a small off-white head to it. The aroma is of grassy and piney hops on top of a toasted caramel malt background. The flavor is much the same with the hops being in the forefront with some caramel and toasted malts in the background. This one was pretty hoppy all the way through. The medium body allows this one to be easily drinkable with a long bitter finish that was mildly astringent. Pretty good brew. SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA

Obviously liked by a lot of beer enthusiast that like a lot of da hops! Balanced with dry bitter notes. Well put together beer but not a super hops fan, I would try again though. milljam (569), Norman, Oklahoma, USA

It pours a deep amber/brown color. The aroma is that of a strong hoppy character. The head is very slight with a tan color. The flavor is strong with slightly citrusy hops and a bit of a floral note. Other characters of the beer come through towards the end and are that of small caramel and toasted malts. An enjoyable beer for the hop heads out there. kassner (441), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured dark golden amber with just a hint of haze and modest light tan head. Light fragrance of alcohol and hops but not floral . Very earthy, with hint of butter and hay, and straightforward bitter aftertaste. Very little play for malt or sweetness. Thirst quenching for sure.
