Jun 21, 2009 Deep red-brown pour with a bubbly, thick tan head on top. Nice lacing. Overall a great looking pour. Malty aroma with caramel, molasses, and nuts. Surprisingly strong with all the hops, though the piny hops do shine through. Thick malt and grain flavor with nutty molasses notes. Strong bitter hop finish. Very nice.

Jun 14, 2009 Decent sized tan head of fine bubbles. Light carbonation. Nicely balanced aroma between the malts and hops presence. Some floral hops, boiled vegetables and some sweet malts. Color is a crimson brown with a good bit of chunky floaters in there. Big hops presence in the flavor with lots of flowers, qrapefruit pith, roasted grains and some sticky malts. Bittterness hits you up front and late swallow and lingers for quite a while. A pretty good brew if you are a hop head but a little bit more than I like.

Jun 13, 2009 (Bottled) Very hazy darkish red-amber with lots of small, floating particles, and a smallish, firm and lacy head. Very flowery-perfumy aroma with strawberry fruitiness and caramely malt. Strongly aromatic-hoppy, caramely-malty flavor with lots of fruitiness, but also slight ashy-acidic notes. The hop profile reminds me of NBE, which is a good thing :). Medium body, medium carbonation. The caramely-fruity malt and flowery-perfumy hops mix pretty well, with the only failure being the slight ashiness. I guess this would be great fresh from the tap.

Jun 11, 2009 Nose is hops: Pineapple, flowers, and perfume. Hint of cookie in there also. Flavor is sharply bitter, simple flavor of grassy, perfumed floral hops. Bit of bread/cookie in the finish. I’m somewhat disappointed by the one-layer flavor this has; sharply and lastingly bitter, with none of the assorted richness/layers of flavor I associate with extra-hopped beers. Texture is watery with a slight oily-after feel.
