Courtesy of someone cool. Thank you, whoever you are.
Glowing orange body, fairly hazy with a smallish off white head....mostly lasting with admirable lacing....citrus fruits, pine, grass and some medicinal notes on the nose....flavor is citrus, pine, grapefruit, orange peel, caramel malt and crushed aspirin....the latter is in small doses and only noticeable if you are really looking for it, but it’s still there....medium bodied, slick on the tongue....lengthy finish, hops and citrus fruits, with a building bitterness....not as good as the Kaffinator, but still a good beer....

May 14, 2008 Bottle via trade with TomDecapolis, thanks Tom. Pours a hazy copper color with a thick off white head. Aroma is floral hops, grapefruit, caramel, light pine. Flavor is floral hops, caramel, some grapefruit, alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished sweet from the malts yet had a nice hope bite. This was terrific stuff, very drinkable, and IMO underappreciated!

May 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to hopdog. Pours a deep copper color with nice thick off-white head. Hoppy nose with some notes of malt. Flavor is bitter, hoppy, citrus, roasted, and finally just a touch of sweetness to it. Great balance between the two. Medium body with great texture and mouthfeel. Nice roasted malt and hoppy finish. Thank you Steve!
