Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom! It is hazy, orange-golden with a small, creamy head. The aroma has notes of citrus, spruce, melon, papaya and a touch of cooked vegetables. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of citrus, papaya, melon, spruce, light malt and a hoppy bitter finish.

Bottle. Grapefruit and red berries in the somewhat medecinal hoparoma. Firm oily hop flavor, somewhat medecinal with grapefruit, lemon and red berries. This beer is malty enough, but this is overpowered by the omnipresent hops. Long oily hopbitter aftertaste with pineapple.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2008 ***The re-rate***... bottle... This beer still rocks!... Tasted again at Aaron & Kathy’s Holiday Bash 2003... I found this brew to be even more enjoyable than the one tasted one year ago at the Brickskeller’s So. Cal. Strong Ale tasting.***
Draft... 2002 Brickskeller Tasting... This beer rocks!... The nose is lightly malty with a faint cookie-like aroma. However, pretty much knocking the malt flat on it’s back is the heavy hop aroma, specifically spruce and perfume. I also detected a nice apple and soapy aroma in there. Hazy, dark amber in color, this beer has a frothy, white, fully lasting head with excellent lacing. Up front, the beer is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Very well balanced at first sip. The spruce is in the flavor as well. The back end is lightly malty/sweet, HEAVILY BITTER and a touch sour. A great combination and the duration is long. I drank this beer two days ago and I am still enjoying it. Ooops... HOP BURP. Excuse me, please. Full, creamy mouthfeel (the beer, not the burp) with lively carbonation. The finish is pretty alcohol laden, but dry and clean as well.
