Bottled. Clear amber to copper color. Medium sized head is white. Ok lacing. Nice aroma with plenty of hops, fruits and some caramel malts. Sweetish caramel/toffy malts are balanced with dryish and slightly piney hops. Flavor is clearly drier and less fruity than you could predict by the aroma. The finish is still enjoyable bitter with some lemon. Palate is a bit carboneted, medium bodied and sticky bitter in the finish.

Bottle. Pour was a nice bright copper color that was crystal clear. Head was white and maybe half an inch high. Quickly dissipating, leaving no lacing. The aroma was slightly sweet with a slight bit of piney hops coming through. The flavor was clearly past its prime. Where there should have been sweet malts, there were none. Hops remained and offered up a tiny bit of citrus and cedar. Mouthfeel was overly carbonated and astringent. Everyone talks about this beer being such a solid session brew that I’m going to have to rerate it after I get ahold of a fresh bottle/keg of it.

Bottle. Exceptionally beautiful hazy copper, with a delicious off-white, creamy head. Amazingly fruity, yeasty hop aroma -- sweet and bitter. Notes of fudge and lemon. Full bodied and refreshing, lovely hops and yeasty sweetness dominate the flavor, followed by an appropriately bitter, dryish finish. Flavor is not quite as fruity as aroma, but very well balanced. Moderate carbonation, creamy, leaving a dryish mouthfeel. Probably the best looking beer I’ve seen in ages!

Pours dark orange with a tan head. Aroma is of malts, hops, citrus, and earthy notes. Taste is bitter hops, evened out by a malt and caramel back bone. Lingering sweetness ends each sip. Easy to drink, with a good taste.

Beautiful reddish orange color. In aroma sweet honey and malt, also pine tree. Taste is nicely bitter with interesting hops. Caramel malts in flavor, too. Ends bitter. Body is medium and quite carbonated. I always miss forests and nature when drinking this.
