Nov 17, 2007 I’d have to say that this an overall fantastic brew. Hoppy, aromatic, hoppy, sweet, hoppy, balanced taste throughout, hoppy, great. Just love it. And not overpriced!

Nov 17, 2007 Light amber colour with minimal head. Thick oily body with light carbonation. Quite sweet and malty upfront and rich in texture. Flavour is slightly citrusy from the nice hop presence. Finishes rich and dense while struggling to mask the higher abv.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. An incredibly fruity hops aroma - hints of cherry, berry, orange and grapefruit - seems to change a bit every time. Hazy pale amber color with moderate head. Initial caramel malt flavor followed by a grassy hops flavor that increases in bitterness as you swallow. Wow, stands up to any I2PA. Great hoppy beer.

Nov 17, 2007 Updated: Nov 21, 2007bottle. Excellent offering from the Boston Beer Co. - the best I’ve had from them by far. I love hops and this beer delivers on their promise of an intense hop experience. It is full of hops and is good and chewy on the way down. The hops linger during and after the finish. Aroma is lacking... the hops don’t shine through on the nose as much as I would like. It pours a deep golden with a thick inch white head that stays around a while while diminishing to a 1/4". The beer has an excellent presence on the palate. Highly recommended to any hop lover out there... get it while you can.

Nov 17, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, rusty, frankly unattractive mud color with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the last sip and left partial lacing on the glass. Very pleasant aroma of fresh citrus. The flavor is initially caramel with a smooth mouthfeel. This is quickly washed over with a resinous, but not overly bitter, pine flavor. As the beer warms a bit, the pine flavor is less dominant and more of the citrus flavor emerges. Dry on the palate at the finish, which lingers for another 10 or 15 seconds beyond the swallow. Well done by Samiel Adams!

Nov 16, 2007 Very good looking pour - cloudy orange with significant head and lacing. Citrus/hoppy aroma. Excellent balance of hop and malt. Not overpowering at all. Wonderful beef by Sam Adams.

Nov 16, 2007 Thanks Mcox90! This is one great offering by SA. Hazy golden with soft foamy head. Hop aroma fills the room on opening bottle. Taste is of citrus hops and pale malt.
