Poured a tangerine color with a big, soapy head. The nose was full on blast of spruce, grapefruit and bitters. The taste starts with a hop explosion. Tons of piney, citrus flavors up front as well as some carmel sweetness. Intense bitterness comes up in the rear and leaves a dry, bitter aftertaste. Alcohol warms shortly after, leaving a spicy bitterness in the mouth. This is one of the most delicious beers i’ve ever had!

Oct 1, 2008 Draught at the Rogue Alehouse in San Francisco, August 2008. Pours a hazy golden orange in a thick glass goblet with no head. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, pine. Medium mouthfeel. The flavour is dominated by alcohol, making it a bit unbalanced but the citrus, grapefruit and bitter finish are still layered and interesting.

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle at GBBF many huge HUGE thanks go out to my Longegest brewer friend and one of the finest Scotish brewers there has ever been Derick from Kelburn, for risking his ass on this one and in turn becoming a Legend amoung ratebeerers. Alround rating: Only 6 bottles came to britian and Derick was awsome enough to share one with us, free of charge and was alround an amazing chap, amoung people he didnt know(i just hope we ratebeer chaps made him feel welcome). Alround rating: The hoppyness is better than expected, immence lychee, citrus like a limes and lemon fest, big and in my face, this totally got me going and all the more that it was from an olf frimnd a cheacky 30yrs older than me. The rating is purely from the awsoemness of the beer as i expected to to disapointed, and not from the capital fellow whom i got it from. I will always and forever want this beer again.
