Dec 18, 2007 Pours lovely hazey orange. Aroma is of wet forrest, hops, malts. Flavour was of a smooth IIPA, hops, malts with a tropical fruit character. My first MS beer, and I was impressed.

Dec 18, 2007 YEHA. Lightly hazy orange in color. Aroma is quite hoppy with floral and citrus, some catty quality. Taste is very hoppy, and overall pretty dry with orange, pineapple, floral, and a light pale malt sweetness. Bitterness lingers well after the finish.

Dec 16, 2007 Pours a clear golden color. The hop aroma is awesome, just awesome here. Butter, citrus and pine. Big bitter hop flavor as well. Little sweetness is nice. No sugar bomb action here. There’s some grapefruit and citrus flavors here as well. Very nice one.

Dec 15, 2007 Clear orange bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops with some light crystal malty sweetness. Body starts semi-sweet and caramely with some earthy grapefruity bittering hops toward a drier, bittersweet and slightly warming finish. A pretty good IIPA.

Dec 14, 2007 (22oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Small beige head atop lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange/floral, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/orange. Sharp bitterness, very one-dimensional. Medium-full body, some acidity.

Dec 13, 2007 Bottle, courtesy of kmweaver. Mostly clear, slightly hazy copper with a white head. MMM very nice, vibrant piney, orangey citrus hop nose. Flavor has notes of light caramel, orange/tangerine, grapefruit, pine, and plenty of resinous bitterness, pepper and a touch of vanilla. Goes over the edge on the bitterness to the point where it becomes a bit harsh. Full, round and creamy with moderate carbonation. Just smooth out the back end bitterness and we have a winner. Nice beer overall.
