MIBRomeo (1889), Wisconsin, USA Oct 14, 2007 Golden brown pour thick laced head. Huge hop aroma, citrus, malty carmamels. Oily palate, well coated. Flavor is lightly bitter first w/ a sweet finish of caramel & strawberry touch of odd spice, not quite placed. Tmoney99 (3651), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA 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. Pailhead (2323), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Jul 30, 2007 On tap:Huge citrus citrus hoppiness with some floral hops and a touch of pine. It’s a cloudy dull dark orange with a minimal off-white head. The flavor starts with big citrus noes with very faint caramel. Finishes with a huge pine kick with mild citrus hops. ogglethorp (801), Ohio, USA 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. tupalev (2311), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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!
