Dogbrick (2807), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jul 3, 2008 On draught at Stone. This beer is a clear dark amber color with a medium and foamy light beige head that diminishes slowly. Patchy sheets of lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and peppery hops. Medium body with a hoppy character and flavors of sweet fruit and malt in the background. The finish is piney hops that lingers for a bit. Pretty good overall. doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours dark amber with red highlights, creamy offwhite head, good lace. Smells hoppy and red fruity, smells bitterish as well. Tastes hoppy and red fruity, bitter-sweet flavor. The bitter-sweetness lingers on the palate. Medium body, good carbonation. Very enjoyable, strong, hoppy beer. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA Jul 3, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 200812 oz can from Pizza Port bottle shop Carlsbad: Orange amber color with a small off-white head that fades to a halo.

Beerman6686 (1263), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Poured a murky light brown color with a nice off white head. Aroma is very hoppy but with a nice scent of malt and alcohol, much like a barleywine. Flavor is even more hoppy than the taste, very piney, not much citrus, but overall smooth at the same time. Very good. nightrider (370), encinitas, California, USA Jun 28, 2008 Poured from the can revealed a copper brown color. Aromas of substantial hops and piny hops. Nice white head with good lacing. Medium body good balance of maltiness and aggressive hops. Pretty decent finish. Wow a good strong ale from a can. Very cool. jujubeast6000 (768), Houston, Texas, USA Jun 28, 2008 (can): Pours a reddish color, bubbly white head. Grapefruity hoppy aroma, piney. Smells like an IPA. Bitter hoppy taste, malty aftertaste. Sweet taste. Okay. badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA Jun 28, 2008 On tap at Stone. Copper gold/brown with a fizzy white head. Caramel and pine aroma and taste with a nice crispness. JaPe (69), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 26, 2008 I can’t believe this came from a can.... I honestly would pass by this in a liquor store if not for a staff reccomendation. Just goes to show you that looks can be decieving. This is soooo good . Smooth pine taste that is really easy to drink. followed by a more intense pine flavour and a wonderful hop symphony. It has the rare quality of being extremly drinkable while unashamidly hoppy. I am impressed.
