Jul 20, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours light orange with a mdeium sized white head, semi-sticky, nice lace. Smells piney hoppy, very nice. Probably some malt in the nose as well but I like the pine. Tastes piney and astringent hoppy. A lingering hint of light sweet malts as well. A bit of orangey citrus on the finish as well, very tasty. Full body, good carbonation.

Jul 17, 2008 (USA) Pours a slight orange color with a med-White head. There is a strong grapefruit / pine needle aroma with a bitter grapefruit taste. The finish is very strong and hoppy !!! I can see why some people like this but not quite my speed. :(

Jul 15, 2008 Pours deep orange-amber with a rocky white head. Smells of pine, grapefruit, spicy. Taste is a ton of pine, some grapefruit and alcohol as well. Sticky and a bit cloying. Falls a bit short.

Jul 6, 2008 Thanks to Lem for sharing this beer on the 4th of July--Poured a sharp orange-amber body, light with a small white head. Floral, but not overpowering hops nose. Very light and smooth all the way through considering ABV. Bitter grapefruit and tropical fruit finish. Crisp and medium bodied. Really hard to believe this beer is as strong as it is. Alcohol well masked. Bitterness echoes in the finish. Boo yah!
