jcdsmack (57), Henderson, Nevada, USA Aug 8, 2008 pours agolden to copper color nice off white head nice combination of malt and hop aromas pine and grass with a little citrus on the hops biscuit malt . Well balanced flavor sweet malt with a nice hop bite the subtle bitterness cuts eventually throught he biscuity malt sweetness very well done upon warming a layer of chocolate flavor and aroma adds a nother dimention. This is what I want out of my beer layers of flavor and little surprises that develop in converse proportion to the glass.
Strykzone (1071), Wood River, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 Tea colored brew that is clear with moderate visible carbonation. A huge soapy light tan head. The head fades in a very uneven manner leaving a cool looking mess of foam. Nose is decent with plenty of grapefruit. Flavor is tart but surprisingly sweet. It is a smooth tartness brought about by a nice hop combination choice. It offers interesting subtlety of grapefruit, pine, orange, and caramel. Well crafted understated flavors. ratman197 (2484), Arvada, Colorado, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bomber poured a clear tarnished copper with a small lingering ivory head. Aroma was floral, light carmel and light fruittiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, floral and light fruittiness with a smooth lingering moderatly bitter finish. Sammy (3242), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 29, 2008 This aggressively carbonated beer had a distinct British hop bitteress and a sweetness, that moved back and forth consistent with their wording betweenthe bitterness and the sweetness. And neither was overdone. It was nice and if more complexity, would merit a higher rating.A bit of hop smell, a nice head were also featured.
Bee-aye #3300. MrBunn (951), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a transparent amber with a fluffy, beige head and thin floral aromas. Flavor is mild and rather uninspiring. Watery sweetness with a touch of floral hops and maybe a touch of orange juice. Finish is soapy and mild. Very disappointing from Moylans.
Theis (2495), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 19, 2008 Draught at GABF 2008. Clear golden - white head. Nice high hoppy, grass, pine, resin, wet gress, knækbrød, swedish flatbread, light malty sweetness, lovely full bodied. Nice.
