3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours medium amber, with a snowy white head, about 1 finger thick, persistent, poor lacing. Nose is grapefruit, sweet malt, mild noble hop-spiciness, not particularly complex, but very pleasant. Palate is, unsurprisingly, quite bitter, grapefruit, malt, caramel, well-balanced, tasty, if unremarkable.

This beer has been in my fridge for god knows how long. Pours a dark cloudy orange with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Great hoppy aroma. Grassy and earthy with a touch of some fresh baked sweet bread. Was expecting a hop bomb/extreme bitterness given its name but this is not that at all. Light citrusy malts blend to make a light bitterness. Creamy texture and very soft on the palate. Quick finish. Not bad, Very sessional.

UPDATED: APR 28, 2010 12 oz bottle pours cloudy amber with minimal off white head into a pint glass. Aroma of lemon peel, hops, bit of breadiness, some malty sweetness. Upfront biscuits and malty sweetness which blends nicely into citruisy/floral hops. The lemon drop tastes really permeates through the whole drink which I find tremendously pleasing. Finishes slightly bitter, herby, and dry. Fluffy mouthfeel with medium carbonation and light to medium body. Pretty damn tasty; like lemon iced tea and just as drinkable.

hoppy aroma, and pours out orangish with a thin white head that disappears quickly. To me this tasted like a cross between an IPA and Rogue Dead Guy Ale- citrusy with a hoppy bitter finish. Not as "brutal" as I had prepared for. Flavor is somewhat watery towards the end.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a rich amber with a thin white head. Aroma is sufficiently hoppy and very earthy, but offers a hint of unexpected citrusy sweetness. Malt taste is dry and hay-like just like I like it. Hops are the dominant taste in this beer, as they should be, and offer a sustained, citrusy bitter aftertaste. Wood flavor sustains from aroma through aftertaste. A great beer to rate for my first rating on here.
