Feb 9, 2010 Poured from the tap into a tasting glass.
The color is a clear copper with a finger or two of foamy white head, some little lacing.
The smell is a little malty with some strong citrus flavor and some slight floral hop flavor as well.
The taste is sweet some nice malty flavor. As expected the hops come out to be heard. Citrus hop flavor does is present but is a bit muted. It mixes with a tangy, acidy flavor that is a bit bitter and make me clear my throat after a few sips.
The feel of this beer is medium bodies with some low carbonation. I was expecting a bit more of a fizz from a beer that was expected to be quite hoppy but the sizzle just did not seem to be there. I enjoyed this beer but I think there could be some tweaking to be done to make it a little more enticing.

Jan 23, 2010 Deep amber pour. The nose has a bit of herbal/piny hoppiness over a fairly chewy malt sweetness. It’s quite light and spicy but there is a lot of honeyish/malty sweetness on the back. Meh… about what I’d expect.

Jan 15, 2010 22 oz. bomber courtesy TheManiacalOne, thanks Mark!
This beer poured a dark, murky and very hazy brown amber with a 2 finger head. If I didn’t know any better I would have guessed that someone just took a sample from a dirty pond and handed it to me. It had very good lacing throughout the sample however.
It smelled of old hops, faint citrus and malt. I couldn’t get anything out of this beer.
The carbonation was slightly above medium carbonation. I found the taste to be very astringent and dry. There was no balance between the hops and the malts. I couldn’t finish the entire bomber much less a whole pint.
I could not recommend this beer to anyone. It was unbalanced and overly hot.

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle courtesy of Joe at Paul’s tasting. Pours a lightly hazed brown amber with a thin white head. Lots of citrus hops, and a good deal of caramel malt, leading toward oxidization and plums. Medium bodied, light caramel tones, lots of earthy hops. Finishes up with a long bitterness and earthy texture.
