anders37 (2752), Malmö, Sweden Aug 17, 2008 Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy citrus aroma with some piney hints. Malty hoppy bitter flavor with hints of grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity malty hoppy bitter finish with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 1, 2008 On tap at Hood Canal Brewery in Kingston, WA--Poured a deep orange-amber body with a thin off-white head. Nose of gritty, piny, citric hops and caramel malts. Nice grapefruit presence. Nothing spectacular in the spine, so I assume this beer is just an off beer masked by a big hop bill. Not bad, though. robforbes (752), Bremerton, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2008 purchased at central market in poulsbo, washington.
