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).

Bottle most likely in trade from a forgotten source. Thanks! Pours orange and clear with a white head. Smell is malty, caramel and tast is caramel, a touch of booze and lightly aged hops. Drinkable, decent barley wine, but not too extraordinary.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this, but being a major hophead I had to try it.
Really nicely balanced, juicy citrus flavors from the hops, malt backbone supports it. Nice sharp bitter finish.

draft at buckeye- pretty disappointed with this one- just not much there- kind of just goes down- sweet and alcoholic- where are the hops- pretty muddled presentation.

Bottle at a Club-Tasting (Thx to You). Clear golden - white head. Nutty, berries, toasted, fruity, high hoppy, caramel, amber malts, grass, pine, peachy, light perfumed, spicy, citrus. Nice.

Flaske, drukket sammen med klubben. Uklar lys orange, næsten intet skum. Duft af parfume, karameller, nødder, peber. Smager let støvet, orange/grapefrugt, abrikos. Lidt tynd i mundfylden.

Bottle thx to me. Hazy and amber coloured with almost no head. Quite well balanced with notes of caramel, malt, spices, dried fruit and citrus hops.

Bottle. Pours a madium amber, very thin and wispy light tan head. Aroma is hops, malt, caramel, maybe some citrus. Flavor is classic barleywine, sweet malt, caramel and hop notes.
