joeyplush (328), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 1, 2009 2008 edition. Pours a medium amber, slightly cloudy, with a thick off-white head that sticks around, and outstanding lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine hops balanced with sweet caramel malt and spices. Taste is very nicely hopped, with an excellent balance of sweet malt. This is an outstanding beer. msante79 (782), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2008 24oz bottle. Pours amber with golden edges. Nice light tan head. Aroma is hops, caramel malts, pine and some citrus. Flavor is hops, pine, caramel malts and some citrus. Sort of has a piney soapy finish.

Smell is hops, caramel, malts, toast, and some fruits. Taste is hops, caramel, toast, fruits, and malts. Pretty good. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Dec 28, 2008 Pours a beautiful caramel color. Aroma is grassy an dpiney hops. Slightly sweet caramel malt flavor with a bitter grapefruity finish. Looks good, smells good but the flavor is a bit quick and a little thin. Very drinkable though and if I am not careful, in large quantities. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada Dec 27, 2008 Bouteille de 660 ml 2008. Nos yeux contemplent une bière de couleur cuivrée-rougeâtre ainsi qu un beau col de mousse fauve qui tient. Au nez une attaque de houblon citronné percute mon sens de l odorat. On découvre aussi de effluves de conifères et de caramel. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte un parfum unique de houblon floral, pamplemousse et de conifère sur un fond de caramel. HUMMMM! Wasatch (270), Layton, Utah, USA Dec 27, 2008 24oz. Bottle
Pours a very nice clean/clear golden orange color, very nice carbonation, very nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, with some thick/creamy sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, slight maltiness, with some citrus and slight pine. The taste is nice with some hoppiness, very slight malts, bitter, with some nice sweetness, and some citrus notes. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is a nice one, glad I got a chance to finally try it out, thanks Joe. flemdawg (485), Naples, Florida, USA Dec 26, 2008 Dark brownish red body with a bubbly white head that leaves very nice lacing down the glass. Citrus rind hop arroma with some caramel, honey and florals. A light, not over powering bitter hoppy flavor with some florals. The bitterness intensifys near the finish. Not bad at all. doboy (175), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Dec 25, 2008 Pours an orangish yellow with a nice white head. Great hop aroma. Good carbonation. Great hoppy flavor in the mouth with nice mouth feel.Nice bitter finish on the back side! Glad I have 1 more bottle!
