Pours a clear, medium copper hue with an initially large head made of a tight, white foam. Even from a cold bottle there was a slow creep of foam after the initial opening, indicating the excess carbonation to be found in this beer. Chunky base malt gives a solid backdrop to tropical fruits and bright herbs. There’s also some grass and leather in the mix. Perhaps a tinge of eucalyptus as well. The flavour is quite similar to the aroma, especially with a eucalyptus tinge to the finish, but is entirely disrupted by the massive amount of carbonation. Flavour can only be detected initially and in the aftertaste; otherwise, the beer quickly foams up in the mouth. A bug? Maybe, but the flavours don’t seem that weird. Light to medium bodied with an indiscernible texture and insanely aggressive carbonation.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Huge white head. Smells abit articifial but the taste is suprisingly hoppy with grapefruit, citrus and good flavors overall. Good bitter finish. Maybe abit too carbonated.

Aug 10, 2008 hazy pale golden with a huge off-white foamy head. quite watery and some irritating spice, but alltogether nice strong spicyness. like it had a bit of jalapeño or red pepper. lots of hops. dry and bitter. soapy and buttery mouthfeel. somehow artificial. s it had lots of sweeteners like aspartam. too much carbonation.
