Apr 12, 2008 Grapefruit and slight floral aroma. Medium light ruddy gold, light foam head. A bit briny, fruit tartness with latent hop bittering. This just didn’t meld well and left an unpleasant aftertaste. Medium heavy body.

Mar 27, 2008 tap at Rock Fest.....poured an amber brown witha thin soapy white head.... aroma of fresh crisp citrus hops but not too fruity.... flavors of fruity citrus hops and very non-astingent/non-abrasive. somewhat sweet and very likeable.

Mar 11, 2008 Goblet at RB - Chicago. Poured translucent medium orange with a light dusting of white head.. sticky lacing as it descended. The aroma had a spiced-up blast of sweet oranges and pale malts upfront (orange zest and cat pee accents).. after the initial impression, the hops really take over.. odd, but aiight. The flavor had a dry middle of pale and lighter fruity malts.. very hoppy surroundings with oranges and perfumey notes paired with peppery yeast spiciness.. strange blend of distinctly Belgian yeast and very American hops.. long, spicy and bitter finish. Thick on the front of the palate with lower carbonation.. heavy middle with more bitterness and spices on the finish. This wasn’t bad, but it didn’t do it for me.
