Nov 25, 2009 On tap in a snifter. The aroma is quite fruity and there a big hint of alcohol. The flavor is very bitter of course with a certain tang that really reminds me of extract homebrewing - possibly some oxidation. Also I think there may be some diacetyl.

Nov 21, 2009 THOUGHTS: Well balance. Lots of great flavors and aroma, but they didn’t seem to meld together as well as they could. This rating was my 795th rating in three full years being a member of RateBeer. Woohoo. I’m hoping to reach beer god status in my fourth year.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark orangey amber with reddish-orange highlights and an average, off-white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was heavy caramel malt, heavy orangey citrus hops, and light alcohol. The initial flavor was rather sweet, bitter and acidic; while the finish was very sweet, rather bitter and acidic with a long duration. There was caramel, sugar water, ruby-red grapefruit, resinous hops, a little alcohol, orangey hops and a bit of metallic hops. The slightly more than medium body was a bit syrupy and then rather dry with rather fizzy carbonation and a dry, lightly alcoholic, lightly astringent and slightly metallic finish.

Nov 11, 2009 Hazy amber pour with a slight offwhite head. Aroma is slightly perfumed, with some floral hoping and a bit of sweet caramel malt. Flavor is sweet and fruity hoppy, rather drinkable with a slight alcohol warmth. Not spectacular but pretty good.
