JamesD (192), Centreville, Virginia, USA Dec 26, 2008 This is an odd beer. Poors an orange gold with an intense hop aroma and an equally intense hop flavor. The hops are floral and not spicy, but nonetheless, this is certainly a sipping beer. KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 25, 2008 Clear golden with medium off white head. Hoppy nose with caramel notes. Sweet flavour with toasted malt, caramel and loads of hops. Bitter finish. I like pilsners like this! Hbuck72 (122), Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Dec 23, 2008 I usually love the brews from Sam Adams, but this was pretty aweful.
Not well balanced, very sour. Yes I know they warn you that there is a lot of hops in it, but My God! this tastes like you are just chewing on the hops.
Color good, nice pour, mild carbonation, wickedly sour taste. fiver29 (703), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Dec 21, 2008 Bottle pours cloudy gold with a white head. Has a wonderful hop, citrus, pine aroma that reeks of resins. Has a full body mouthfeel. Flavor is full on citrus, pine, and finishes with a malt sweetness. Overall this is a very nice brew. One that I enjoy each year. tedovertu (259), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Dec 17, 2008 Major hoppiness to this one. Cloudy medium amber color. Thick texture and average head. This brew is all about the hops. Surprised this was not more bitter. Pretty balanced for a European strong lager. ajm (902), Los Angeles, California, USA Dec 17, 2008 Bottle from AJ Via Linda. Man if you need to get F-ed up, down a couple of these hop bombs. The thick resiny quality of a Dogfish 90 but without the American citric undertones. This smells and tastes like liquid marijuana. I cant believe this comes more than a bottle at a time. kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Dec 14, 2008 The perfect color of beer...cloudy orange gold, pouring with a thick foam white head that laces heavy like a blanket. Mild malt aroma very balance with obligatory hops. Consistency is like 2 percent milk. Flavors include floral hop notes, tasty bitterness, light sweetness from the malt. Composure is very clean and serious. Finish is a little bit thick and sweet. TearsforBeers (170), Ohio, USA Dec 14, 2008 RB is being super annoying with its character limitations. This beer is great.
