From bottle... poured clear amber with little head. Musty, grassy aroma. Enjoyable, hoppy flavor with slight grapefruit tang. Slight bite and crisp, dry finish. I’d love this one when the weather is nice. This one overachieved, and I’ll get it again (had it as part of a $28 variety case). Good value.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle: Deep copper pour with a creamy tan lacing head. Soft malts in the nose. Nice balance of toasted notes and caramel; fresh and bready with a very light citrus hop note. Has a nice fluffy/creamy feel. Has a soft sweetness from the malts- substantial and bready with a sweet resiny American hop character. Some toasted notes as well with a pretty solid American hop resiny note in the finish. Let this stuff warm; it’s better than I expected.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Mild aromas of bread and fig with a distinct hop bouquet of limes. On the tongue it’s mostly a sharp alpha tingle towards the back of the tongue with a bit of light maltiness to round it out. The body is a bit too thin. In some ways this makes me think of a watered down tripel with some boiling hops thrown in.

Sep 21, 2008 (bottle): Pours an orangish body, small white head, quickly diminishing. Malty fruity aroma, fizzy. Very enticing. Fizzy malty nutty taste. A litte bitter/sourness. Nice soft mouthfeel.
