Bottle sampled on 9/15/07: Clear deep golden color with a wispy-lacing full white head. Aroma of sweet earthy grassy grapefruity hops and some musty cheesy caramel malt. Body starts with some sweet pale malt and earthy bittering hops toward a drier bittersweet finish. An interesting imperial pils with some almost cheesy complexity.

22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of grass, pine, floral, and doughy. Tastes of grass, pine, citrus, and dough. Medium alcohol in the finish.

Poured a hazy copper color with a white head. Floral and mildly citrus aroma. Some sweaty hop aroma as well. The flavor had a crisp bitterness that ran from the front to the back. Dry finish with a growing bitterness. The beer ended up fairly bitter. Grassy in the middle.

This bottled brew from a rating party poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy dark yellow-orange colored body and a good lacing. The strong aroma was dirty sock and like vomit. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and hops and tasted like I had dirty sock with vomit on them in my mouth! Yuck! How did the others stand it? A horrible one that I would rather not drink again. Just can’t ghet past that aroma. It ruined it for me.
