Mar 11, 2008 Bottle. This beer poured a small frothy tan head that was mostly lasting, fair amount of lacing, hazy, fizzy carbonaton, and a brown hue. Nose was hoppy, pine, malty, citrus, grapefruit, and some caramel. Ditto for the flavor along with some bitterness, and a semi-dry finish. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Quaffable beer with a nice hoppy flavor. Not an outstanding beer for the style, but decent and worthy of a try.

Nov 18, 2006 Bottle. Copper body. Small foamy tan head. Nose, once it warms, releases toffee, notes, light chocolate, light spicy hops and sweet malts. Taste is malty and still sweet with stronger hops, but still rather subtle overall, light chocolate toffee, hints of caramel, and light yeast notes. Body is chewy with light carbonation tingle. Medium feel to it. Finishes with a bit more bitterness. Light hops, chocolate, cocoa, faint caramel, toffee, light spiciness and yeast. Nice beer!

Jun 13, 2007 Tallahassee, Fl - Leon Pub - 22 oz bomber. Dark copper pour, nice thick off white head that leaves good thick lacing. Light sprucey aroma, very fresh, hints of fresh fruit. Juicy flavor, some requisite west coast grapefruity hop goodness, some sweet raisiny maltiness which is blended together somewhat well but at first is somewhat muddled. Detect a bit of chocolate in the finish. Mouthfeel is stinging at first, but mellows as it warms. Good flavorful blast from the king of hops.

Jan 7, 2007 22 oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Clear copper color with off white head that laced the glass. Attractive aroma of biscuity malt, caramel, toffee, and light flowery hops. Tatsed similar, but the hop flavor was more equally balanced with the malt relative to the aroma. Nice hop bitterness throughout, especially at the end, which is tempered by a delicate sweetness in the middle. Very good. Can’t wait to try it on tap some day.

Feb 4, 2007 At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Pours an amber color with an impressive off white head that leaves really nice lacing. The nose is just outstanding with caramel sweetness and citrus hops. The flavor has a pronounced and fantastic bitterness.
