pivo (2535), Germany Dec 27, 2004 Light lager nose, gold color, low head. Very strong hop bitter with a faily heavy malt. Rather like a bohemian pils than a German pils, but with a west coast aggressiveness. Smooth with a lingering grass bitter. Nice. BrockLanders (747), Panama City, Florida, USA Dec 16, 2004 Served from a very cool ceramic bottle. Cloudy medium orange, displays a minimal and quicly dying head. Lovely strong, fruity nose. You’ll never confuse it with an IPA, but it nice hoppy tinge will have you wondering. On the tongue, it’s heavily malty, sweet all the way through, with a nice grapefruity bitter hop tang at the finish that lasts and lasts. A supremely drinkable beer, alcohol well-hidden and the hops better integrated than in many of their celebrated flavors.
DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 16, 2004 Pours dark straw (not copper) with a Brobdingnagian head and tons of lace. Hopcit aroma (as expected) with taste of malt, hopcit, and a slight tart apricotty finish. As it warmed the alcohol made itself known, and it acquired a slight harshness and a tad of astringency that I had to deduct slightly for. Great mouthfeel, and a great beer. Worth the price. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA Dec 15, 2004 Gold with Orange hints. Nice color. Huge, frothy, head of foam. Nose of pilsner malt, cream, caramel, toffee, salt a a pretty huge dose of hops (flowers, weeds). Notes of bready, biscuity, caramel like malts, sugar, coffee grounds and floral hops. Creamy and full mouthfeel. A good beer. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Dec 15, 2004 What a cool honking heavy artsy-fartsy bottle - love it. Golden color, soft carbonation. Herbal and flower nose. Nice bitter, long lasting grapey taste. Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 13, 2004 Hazy golden beer with a thin white head. Light spicey aroma almost belgian, rather sweet. Sweet malts and hops with notes of oranges and alcohol warmth. Long hop finish, creamy mouthfeel. (Sept. 2004) walleye (876), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Dec 4, 2004 from the bottle. shared this one with flemdawg. poured a cloudy honey color with a white head. aroma. hops, malts. barely, honey,, citrus, caramel, as it warms grapefruit comes out. this is one of those beers you want to keep the nose to the glass.flavor,bitter hops, malts, honey, a nice sourness, and dryness, and hints of sugar. I think this was a little over priced it was a very good beer but for $14.00 I do not think so. the bottle was nice, so I think that is were the extra cost comes in flemdawg (485), Naples, Florida, USA Dec 4, 2004 Can I rate the apperance of the bottle? Cause the thing looks really neat. Honey colored cloudy body with a firm white head. Sweet malts and hoppy aroma, citrusy type. Got some honey as well. Bitter hops was my first impression. Sort of a grapefruit hop taste. Sweet malts balance this one out somewhat. Fills the mouth very well, and the hops
