Proteus (98), Finland Mar 27, 2008 Bottle. Pale amber color with a small head. Crispy hoppy aroma blended with grassy and flowery notes. Nice spicy bitterness in the flavor, overall a very hoppy taste. Refreshing for the one used to hoppy bitterness. Leaves a bitter metallic palate. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Mar 23, 2008 Dours dark copper with a frothy, white head. Aroma of pine, with notes of cirs and spice. Initial taste of sweet malts, flowing through pine and flora, arriveing at decidedly bitter. Good beer, but the bitterness takes over a little quickly. badlizard (2326), Berkeley, California, USA Mar 20, 2008 bottle from Liar’s Club. Golden amber with a fizzy white head. Caramel, grainy, and citrus hops aroma. Cereal, caramel, and citrus taste with an earthy finish. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Rich amber beer with an off-white head. Citrus, pine, light summer fruit aroma. Citrus, pine, light caramel flavor with somethign else. Creamy mouthfeel. Decent bitterness. Well done and nice tasting. LIngering citrus and sweetness. mreusch (715), Olathe, Kansas, USA Mar 19, 2008 1 pint, .9 fl. oz. bottle with a big thank you shout out to tytoanderso for this excellent BONUS - thanks much Tyler! Pours a hazy golden with a towering creamy yellowish tan head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is a nice blend of grapefruit, pine, citrus, and grass. Flavor is a crisp, refreshing and lingering hops bite, with more pine/citrus and a slightly sweet malty backbone. Nothing earth-shattering, but a well done, refreshing and enjoyable IPA - thanks again Tyler! madcow75 (425), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA Mar 18, 2008 Bottle. Pour is clear amber with a thick white head. Nice aroma, citrus, pine and sweet malt. Nice and bitter, taste is more of the same from the aroma. Good bitter finish and it lingers for a little while. Medium body. I like this. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Mar 17, 2008 Amber with a huge head. Citric aroma with notes of pine, grass and oranges. The flavour is bitter: lime, grape and citrus, but contrasted with caramel. Hoppy fireworks toward the ending. Close to perfection.
hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Mar 17, 2008 rich coppery color with a fluffy whitish head. it’s got nice retention and some spotty lacing. citrusy/grapefruit aroma with candy and caramel malty sweetness. very low sweetness on the palate with notes of citrus, wood and pine. really nice and bitter with a hint of ash or smoke. it finishes dry and crisp while the bitterness lingers in my mouth. medium to full bodied with a rich texture for the style. the hops really shine but it needs something to put it over the edge...
