Commercial Description:
Consider it an extremely hoppy barleywine, or a really big IPA. Either way, ten hop additions contribute to its lush and intriguing body. Aggressive dry-hopping brings a strong citrus character to the aroma. The flavor and smell of orange-blossoms pervade throughout the experience.
Ingredience:Water,Barley(200 pounds per barrel of American-grown malted barley),Hops(10 hop-strikes,totaling 17 ounces per barrel of American-grown hops) and yeast(it is what it is).

22 oz. bottle via trade with crizay - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is toasted doughy malt, light esters, and light citrus hops. Flavor is semi-sweet malt, some dark esters, and a good bit of hop bite remains. Medium body. The alcohol is noticeable, but not over bearing. A good sippin’ BW. Thanks Chris.

Copper pour with a lasting, yet small, beige head. Sweet and hoppy aroma, caramel and quite a bit of yeast. Syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation. Initially, its hot and alcoholic. Then, it becomes just a bit less hot and alcoholic. Malty sweetness, some orange and dark fruit, raisin, plum. Whew, this one is strong though. A bit too boozy and overpowering.

Bottle. [Courtesy of Papsoe, another great session] Average creamy beige head that really lasted. Light cloudy body with an amber color. Fair display of lacework. Grapefruit aroma, notes of elderflower, citrus, caramel, underlying fruity notes, hint of bread like notes with some grain. Full bodied with an average carbonation and hint of alcoholic and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with light to moderated sweet notes. Dry and bitter finish. Very nice Barley Wine. 15-08-2007

Bottle. Dark orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of alcohol, oranges, mild papery oxidation, and vegetables. Thick body with alcohol that seems over the top at times. Very chewy and hop-ridden. Malt sweetness in the middle but otherwise very bitter.
