4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dry hopped version. Pours copper orange with some tan head. Nose is full of orange and tangerine. Loads of pine and grapefruit goodness. Med bod with oil. Really good. One of the highlights of the fest.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: DEC 19, 2010 On tap (listed as Liberty Two): The aroma consists of oranges, tropical fruits, and grapefruit. It pours a hazy dark amber with a small off-white head that leaves behind lots of sticky lacing. The flavor starts with lots sweet citrus flavors (mostly orange), along with tropical fruits and pineapple. There’s a touch of caramel in the background. The finish has more tangy orange notes and light-moderate grapefruit. Very fresh and tastey...and dangerously drinkable. Medium bodied with light-moderate carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at MBGSF 2010. This is now named Siamese Dream Double IPA, as confirmed by the brewer. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with citrus hops. Flavor is again sweet citrus with caramel and some raspberry. Solid.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dry hopped version at the 2009 MiBGWF: Deep coppery hue with a very good lasting head and sticky lace. It appears that this brewer knows how to make an appearance. The aroma has notes of citric fruits, minerals, grassy and resiny vapours and a hint of biscuit. The taste is juicy fruit where the Cascade hop really shines. Mild malt background and a astringent mineral finish. The mouth feel is smooth and refined but is a tad brash around the edges, very good medium body for the style. Well done all around and beer geek worthy, a hop forward brew indeed.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft sample at MBG Winterfest 2009.
Poured hazy copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
This is a good drinkable beer.
