Mar 20, 2008 This was a real pleasure. Aroma was of a nice citrus with some floral characters along with strong hops. Taste was the same but the blending of the flavors went real well together hiding a lot of the alcohol and making a nice taste. I would definitely buy this one again. Real tasty.

Mar 18, 2008 This is an interesting beer. Tons of hop flavor without it being overly bitter. Hops overshadow the grains and beer flavor, but it is worth drinking. Would be a good beer to do food pairings with.

Mar 13, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with about 2 fingers of off-white, rapidly dissipating head. Nice odor of grasses and hops. Very light beginning taste, that then builds with a little bit of hop bitterness and alcohol on the aftertaste. A good pilsner.

Mar 10, 2008 This was the first legal beer I had as a 21 year old. I wasnt on ratebeer at the time so i’ll review it now. Pours murky orange with a white head. Aroma is awesome hops. Flavor is a ton of hops, with a dry bitter finish. Some dirt on the aftertaste. Too one dimensional for me. The hops are good but theres little else.

Mar 10, 2008 Second time I’ve had this beer. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a creamy white head that leaves a little lacing. Fantastic aroma of fruit and hops. Smells very sweet. Great initial flavor that lets you appreciate the sweet nature of the hops, fades into an almost harsh hop finish though. Kills the flavor a little, but I still really enjoyed it.

Mar 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head. On the nose I got som caramel and toasted white bread with butter on top and loads and loads of fresh and fruity hops. Flavour starts with some malty sweetness - caramel and toasted white bread. Then it’s hops, hops and hops - giving the beer a nice freshness and hints of pine apple candy. You don’t feel the alcohol. The finish is dry and salty (made me think of green olives) with a great bitterness. Good one!

Mar 2, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a nice off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma definitely had that pilsner smell to it but also hops and malt. This had a taste that was very powerful hops and spices, yet a slight malt sweetness to try and counter. Mouthfeel was medium with a very strong hop bitterness at the finish. Not balanced, but that’s ok with me. Pleasantly surprised by Sam Adams on this.

Mar 2, 2008 So the brewsters over at Sammy’s are doing a mighty fine job for a near major micro brewer thing whatever they are now....super hoppy, but not offensive.. looks excellent on the pour, nice balmy head. spicy in bales of hallertau. semi sweet with a definite jump kick to the senses. Enjoyable actually with sushi..kind of a wasabi-hop adventure, and definitely not a disney ride.
