carboloader (318), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 27, 2008 Pours hazy orange with tall thick white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is fruity hops (not pine, but more melon), wow! This is Sam Adams??? Intense hops, with long bitter finish. Delicious -- I love this style if this beer at all represents it. Pleasantly surprised.
Ljunkan (379), Karlstad, Sweden Mar 27, 2008 This is definitely interesting, but not THAT fun. Hoppy taste, or more exactly, extremly hoppy taste. Bitter. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 25, 2008 12oz bottle. BB4 Jan 2008. Looks like a cloudy orange IPA. Lasting frothy leaves a thick sticky coating on the glass. Smells like an IPA, citrusy. Cleaner lighter body than expected. Makes me think of Hopslam. Way to delicious and drinkable. Sad the way familiarity dampens the excitement from the first exciting sip. Thanks Poperinge! Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Mar 23, 2008 Oct. 2007 - Labelled "Hallertau Imperial Pilsner". Fluffy head and pale color. Aroma of grassy hops. Super strong grassy hops behind very sweet malty backbone. Touches of floral aspects as well. Pretty good even though maybe a tad too sweet. douglas88 (1555), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2008Bottle at the Bayou. Pours a cloudy orange with a light and fluffy white head. The aroma is just amazing; tons of honey drenched all over hops. The taste is similarly dominated by a sweet honey and maltyness and a really bitter and spicy hops. It was quite hot for 8%, but in a good way. An aggressive beer, but well crafted. Great. jzzbassman (838), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Mar 22, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured an autumn gold with a small creamy head. Hops most evident in flavor rather than aroma, which is grassy. Flavor is a bit sweet on the front, hoppy and bitter on the end, with a thick palate. ScoWRee (275), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 22, 2008 Pours golden with a nice big whie foamy head. Aroma of hops. Taste is astrong hops. A little bitter. I’m a Sam Adams guy. I also like B.S.A.’s. This is a little to hoppy for me. bigguns22 (88), Maryland, USA Mar 20, 2008 If you like a hoppy beer this is a good one.This beer has great unfiltered honey color with an off white.It starts off strong and finishes wth a light sweet tone.the palate is fizzy medium viscocity.
