Very little carbonation. Sweet piney aroma. Some spicy hoppiness. Deep and rich. Smooth low carbonation mouthfeel. Slightly sweet up front. Followed by a rich malty flavor. Finishes with a bit of grapefruit peel bitterness. No alcohol is noticeable. Reminds me of something in the vein of AB, with a low carbonation. Dogbrick (2913), Columbus, Ohio, USA

The beer pours a luminous reddish-amber color with a thin beige head that dissipates fairly quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Toasted malt, orange rinds and hops in the nose. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops, toasted malt and citrus flavors. The finish is hoppy with some grainy malt underneath, and the bitterness lingers for quite some time. Overall this is an enjoyable beer, and would be even better with just a little more balance. Ringo (959), Loveland, Colorado, USA

Intense sweet candy-sugar, citrus hops and pine sap... awesome nose, very well developed. Sweet overall, though it has some bitter and dry cherry flavored hops and bubblegum notes. Deserving of the praise it received. jerc (3965), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

(7+) Flavour is similar, with a good amount of bitterness, resiny hop character, and a solid malt base. (7+) Average plus palate. (3+) . Pretty solid, quite drinkable. Alcohol is invisible.

malts help to even out some of the hops. I wish I had access to this as it would be in my fridge every day. Very refreshing and tasty.
