May 29, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at weekend of tarts.
Lovely dark Mikkeller blonde with a very good white head. Damn these guys know how to do hops. Straight forward hopfest but I love it. Long bitter finish with some slight sweet malt under that balances it out perfectly.
Thanks as always Martin, always wanted to try this one.

May 28, 2008 $9.49 for a 16.9oz bottle...ouch. That being said, this beer is quite excellent. Fresh hop fragrance. Bitter mouthfeel, with a solid malt backbone. Generously hopped. Really well balanced beer, with some nice caramel malt tastes to even it out. Top notch stuff.

May 27, 2008 Bottle. Average size, off-white head that disappears quickly. Clear, medium amber body. Floral aroma with notes of grain and citrus, especially grapefruit. Hint of caramel. The flavor is lightly sweet and moderately to heavily bitter and lightly acidic. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. The balance leans heavily toward the bitter leaving little room for anything else. Not much finesse in this beer. Which makes the price of this beer very steep, indeed. Not a good buy.

May 27, 2008 1 pt .9 fluid oz. bottle: Clear copper pour with little head left after a few minutes. Hops from start to finish, the nose is robust with rosey perfume, candied oranges and rindy grapefruit. A little bit of time opens up the caramel and toffee malts, which do a substantial job of balancing the hoppiness. Bitter is the best way to describe the body, chinook city would be another. After the initial feeling of taking a bite out of an under ripened grapefruit skin subsides, I notice a lot of orange and peach hoppiness and a nice amount of sweet malt as well. A nice IPA, but the bitterness is through the roof. Tame it back and this would be a solid IPA. Of course, I think you could score a sixer of Alpha King or Green Flash IPA for about the same price as this one bottle and be just as happy.
