Jun 23, 2008 Strong fresh pine and orange citrus character to the hops in the nose. Hazy golden-brown body is topped by a low off white head that recedes to a very thin but lasting cover with good lace. Strong grapefruit, orange, pine hop flavour with assertive bitterness over toasty malts that figure most in the aftertaste. Medium body is quite dry with fairly strong carbonation. Sampled at Dix Xmas Extreme in Dec-07.

Dec 18, 2007 Dark yellow with a fluffy head and spotty lacing. Strong citrus and pine hops. Almost a sweet grapefruit with some toasted malts. Alcohol comes out a little in the flavors. Ends off very fruity.
