Feb 22, 2009 24 oz bottle. 12 th edition, Pours a deep copper color with a 1/2" off white head. Gobs of random lace coat my glass. Aroma is grapefruit with a malty background. Palate has a bit of presence to it, fairly substantial, with average carbonation. Flavor is a nice balance of malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Well done.

Feb 22, 2009 710 ml Bottle.
Pours amber with a nice compact head.
Malts, hops and grass in the aroma. Heavy german hop in the finish. Like a less bitter version of Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle. Nice redorange color. Fresh grass hoppy aroma. The taste is all about hops, but not in a very agressive way.

Feb 20, 2009 24 oz. bottle. 12th iteration. Pours a thick, creamy, off white head of good duration, with loads of lacing over a dark honey colored slightly clouded body....nose redolent of hop ( pine, grapefruit), no real yeast or malt tones....tastes initially of sweetish malts then a gradually building but gentle hop bitterness finishes with heavy citrus tones, but the malt sweet is always quietly present....mouthfeel is rich and chewy. This is much milder in straight bitterness than many an IPA. It has a lovely balance.

Feb 20, 2009 Labled as 12th release. Nice amber pour with a thick eggshell head and copious lacing. Nose is as described in the commercial description. Taste is a nice blend of hops, pine and fruit. Mouthfeel is sumptuous. Finish is bold and hoppy, but with a hint of metal.

Feb 16, 2009 Amber body and has a foamy white head... but hey there is a picture on this website so this is kind of unnecessary. Aroma is pretty strongly of hops and the obvious fruity elements. The beer itself is hoppy, but not overly so. It is smooth and crisp going down. Sweet malts undertones persevere beneath the hops.

Feb 15, 2009 wonderful dark color of burnt orange. flavor is spicy and dark, citrus notes are present but subdued. lacing reflects the dirty element of this overhopped bomb. wonderfully bitter and fresh as todays newspaper at 3am.
