Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Lekker looking beer, pours cloudy orange with thick foamy white head. Much lacing. Faint hop aroma, with a bit of pine. Full hoppy mouth, more like an IPA than a pilsener Much alcohol, little malt .Lasting hop finish. For me, somehow this beer didn’t quite gel. It’s not a bad beer, by any means, but I can’t rave about it either.

Jan 9, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange color. The aroma is a waft of hops. More floral than grapefruit. This is spicy and sweet. The dryness lingers long in a good way. Yes, this is hop juice and I am a sucker for it. Sam Adams impressed me with this one.

Jan 8, 2008 The 2007 ofering: Very pleasantly suprised at this. I am not a big fan of Pilsners normally but I am a big fan of hoppy offerings and IPAs. This has a great hoppy aroma...moderatly bitter flavor and great finish.

Jan 7, 2008 Bottle. Hazy yellow pour with white head. Hoppy aroma wasn’t as overpowering as I had expected. Very enjoyable. I did not think the hops overpowered this offering. I enjoyed this very much and reminded me of a Sweetwater 420 on steroids.

Jan 7, 2008 2007 Edition. Bought this to share with family for Christmas (along with a growler of Troegs!). It’s passable. While it looked nice and smelled okay, the taste of the hops just went to bitter an too grassy for this to be something truly enjoyable. The grass almost, as seen in a review below, tips towards slightly piney. Maybe it was the hop harvest used, I’m not sure. (Bottle Pour 12/24/2007)

Jan 7, 2008 250ml bottle (Konttori, Tampere)
Cloudy orange, lively yellowish head. Crisp hoppy aroma - whole real hops - quite raw. Lively carbonation, hoppiness clear even before swallowing. Small light malty presence, but quickly replaced by a slightly soapy resiny hop, with a little hint of grapefruit. Could give me hop fatigue, as it was very drying, but 1 was good. Hides the alcohol well. A bit 1-dimensional.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Hoppy aroma as expected, notes of pine & citrus. Hoppy taste, more citric notes, especially grape fruit. Light alcoholic hints. Nice.

Jan 6, 2008 Clearly this brew is focused on the hops, however, it is more offensive than expected. Super bitter and not well-rounded this one is more like an IPA. Color is very interesting with darker wisps inside the brew and decent head. Catch this one if you can; I’ve never had anything quite like it.
