Aug 3, 2007 Draft sample at MBGF07. Poured a hazy copper color with an average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good hoppy citrus, malty and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a long bittersweet alcohol warming finish. This is a solid brew.

Feb 26, 2007 MI BG Winter Fest. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is floral hops, bitter hops, grapefruit, orange, pine, caramel malt. Flavor is hhuge hops, floral, bitter, citrus, pine, slight malt backbone. Palate is medium-full, medhium carbonation, sticky, bitter finish. Hop bomb for sure, enjoyable, but needs a touch more malt to balance, IMO. Still really good.

Jul 31, 2006 MBG 06. Bubbly orange, creamy white head. Lots of hops in aroma - nice and strong. Wonderful hop and malt taste - no taste of alcohol at all. A wonderful choice for my last beer of the fest! Well worth the 4pm tap time!

Jul 31, 2006 Draught at 2006 MBG Summer Festival. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a small white head. Fruity, malty aroma with a nice amount of earthy and floral hops. Sweet flavour of fresh fruit, caramel malt, juicy hops and alcohol. Hides the alcohol very well. Medium bodied. All in all, a pretty good Barley Wine.

Jul 26, 2006 Draught. At 2006 Michigan Brewers’ Guild Festival. Hazy bubbly orange with a small white head. Gentle aroma of slightly grassy hops, solid juicy malt, lightly woody, and surprisingly mild alcohol. Very juicy and fresh taste, somewhat sweet malt, citrus zest, a bit of cereal grain, with ever-increasing bitterness and alcohol in the quite bitter, mildly oaky finish - simple and very enjoyable. Decent body, enough astringency and bitterness to keep it moving toward a balanced, not overwhelming finish - solid bw.
