Jul 9, 2008 750 ml bottle. Yeasty spicey aroma that wasn’t over spice for me on the nose. Murky golden body with white head and good lacing. Chalk and medium sweet candy with some lemon and spice mix. Well blended I thought anyway. Smooth on palate good brew

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle from Monk’s, Philly. Nice golden amber color with good head. Has characteristics of Belgian, English and American Ales. The yeasty nature going on in the background is clearly Belgian, while the grapefruit hops are American, and the pale malt and grassyiness seem English. Not overdone.

Jul 7, 2008 Orange to amber in color with a decent white head. Sweet and fruity in the smell. Taste is sweet, fruity, apricots coming through the most. Good but not great.

Jul 5, 2008 Sweet mild with a low fruitiness. Golden color with light head; a little cloudy. Very mild taste with minimal sweetness. Malty but very balanced and mellow. Exceptionally easy to drink. Sweet with no noticable astringent flavors or harsh textures. Very easy to drink. Very good. A favorite of mine.

Jun 28, 2008 bottle. Pours a light golden amber color, decent inch head bubbles up quick then fades to a decent layer/ring. Aromas are interesting... funky sweet light malts, a hefty dose of sticky floral hops. Flavors start with a full but non-aggressive bunch of hops- mostly cut flowers and some light citrus, with some light peppery notes. Some lightly sweet malts and fruity esters provide nice balance. Light and crisp on the palate, smooth finish with some lingering bitterness.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle courtesy of I think Quake1028. Pours a clear golden with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of citrus, sweet pilsner malt, and floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and a dry crisp finish. Very good.

Jun 24, 2008 Wow first thing that hits me is a light hint apple. As a matter of fact carve out an apple and stuff it with hops, that pretty much what this beer tastes like.

Jun 24, 2008 I liked how this beer is essentially a hop bomb, but just doesn’t come across that way. Perhaps it’s the label. That’s it. The label, showing a calm, pastoral setting, lacks that bravado one sees on the labels of super-hopped beers and the effect is to make me study the nuances of this fascinating brew. This has all of the citrus fruit elements that I would expect, but there is some really nice light malt and yeast flavors which lift this above the ordinary hop monster. Very good stuff.
