bkelley68 (468), Lakewood, Ohio, USA Jan 13, 2005 Draught. Light amber color. Mild citrus hop aroma. Kind of unbalanced, swaying to being too hopped up. Smokey flavor ithere with the astringent hops. Very bitter, almost metallic finish. Aubrey (2603), Denver, Colorado, USA May 3, 2003 Decent head above a hazy gold color. Lightish, yet tasty, malts - just wish there were more of them. Flowery, hot and spicy hops are heavily dosed. Somewhat unbalanced in that respect (weak malts, heavy hops). Finishes with a back-of-the-tongue bitterness that lingers. Malt flavors slowly fade away into the back seat. Ernest (4249), Boulder, Colorado, USA Nov 6, 2002 Draught.
Body is hazy dark yellow.
Aroma is
moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin),
moderately yeasty (sweat).
Flavor is
moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, moderately acidic, heavily bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Extra blood, sweat, and tears evidently went into this one. Or at least the middle part. Manly.
