| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2009 Bottle.Reddish as expected. Taste explodes in a very unsubtle manner.The impact is immediate with hops and caramels bouncing all over your mouth. There is some bitterness but the overall impression of this beer is simply wow! markwise (1175), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 8, 2009 Big thanks to MrHanky for sending this growler my way. Pours transparent red with a loose, creamy off-white head. Nose is caramel, pine sap, and lots of bold hops. Flavor is caramel, pine, and malt galore. Huge backbone to this beer. They call it an amber- it is one of the best ambers I have had. drfabulous (1235), Columbia, Missouri, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 6, 2009 Bottle (65 cl) from Ölbutikken, Copenhagen, Denmark. Hazy mahogny, medium beige head. Malty and hoppy aroma, with notes of caramell, dried fruits, pine needles, and citrus. Meidum bodied and smooth. Dry with a bit salty and metallic bitterness. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2009 I decided to track this down because I am really digging this style lately thanks to Yulesmith, Dead by Dawn, Gordon, and Red Devil. The color is no surprise, reddish-amber with almost no head. The intiial aromas are of pine needles, not cones, serious hops. There is a slight caramel aroma as well. The taste is a blast of green, leafy hops that I enjoy. I cannot seem to find the malt backbone to this beer, just blistering hops. There is some astringency in the mouthfeel that needles the palate. Overall, a nice flavor and aroma but a sipper due to the ABV/mouthfeel.

Aroma is sweet malts, with floral and hints of hops. Carbination is good and a solid mouthfeel. Has a decent alcohol burn. A medium to full body. Has an oily texture. A solid finish with a good aftertaste. This is a hearty ale with lots of flavor and a good kick at 9%.
