May 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish amber color. Strong pleasant aroma of fruit and dry hops. Flavor is slightly sweet, mildly roasted and has a nice bitter/piney hop character. Very good beer.

May 24, 2008 Draft had a small rocky head. The aroma was malty and hoppy. The flavor seemed a balance of complex malt and robust hop bitterness and finished the same. Terrific.

May 24, 2008 22 oz bottle. the beer poured a brownish red with a big creamy brick head. the smell of citrus hops is strong and sweet. The taste is just like the smell but the hops don’t bight as much as expected. good carbonation and lacing.

May 23, 2008 22oz bottle: Pours to a clear redish amber body with medium sized bubbles rising to meet a medium-large dark eggshell colored head. Aroma is a fruity citrus hops, pine, mild rose petals, with hints of sweet caramel and lemongrass. Taste is quite bitter up front with some flavors of lemon rind & pine hops, bitter orange rind, grass, with hints in the background of a sweet pale malt that serves to provide a nice backbone behind the hops. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, finishes with some lengthy hop bitterness and bits of light dusty pale malt. Nice job on the mouthfeel and palate on this one.

HonkeyBra (1266), Lemont, Illinois, USA
May 23, 2008 Nice red pour with sizable head. Smelly hoppy, with caramel malt. Flavor is complex: citrus hops, pine hops, grass, some fruits lots of hops with just enough malt. Mouthfeel is big, as you’d expect from a high gravity beer. Overall, it’s a good, interesting brew.

EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
May 22, 2008 Clear red pour with a thick white head. Lots of hops on the nose. Piny dry hops, citrusy floral hops. Smells delicious! Hoppy flavor (who’d have thought?) Slightly sweet to start with the bitter hoppiness. Good, although there was a bit of an unpleasant funk in the finish.
