mephisto (1144), Taiwan Aug 18, 2008 cloudy yellow with off white head, it has a bready aroma with the signature grapefruit accent. the flavor is wonderfully floral and malty, well balanced. Bov (5403), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 14, 2008 courtesy of Toni Flükiger - clear amber colour with a solid beige head; powerful nose, very hoppy, resiney aroma, cream and flowers; oily and with a good malt body; very dry and very bitter flowery hoppy finish - hops, hops and more hops euserphriendly (163), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 6, 2008 Fresh Hops! This is really a hop lovers beer. The hops are fresh but not overdone. Good malt backbone. I look forward to having this one again. ehhdayton (1113), USA Aug 6, 2008 Had the 1997 brew. Pours a golden copperish with a nice white head. Aroma has a combination of grapefruit and pine. The hop flavor is clear but not overpowering. Flavors of citrus, pine, and some caramel malt comes through. Slight hint of bitterness at the finish but again is not overly pronounced. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Aug 1, 2008 A good beer- it pours a copper color with a piney aroma and some citrus. It has lots of hoppy, bitter flavor with a piney and bitter hop finish with a somewhat dry/ bitter nail-dragging finish. It’s respectable. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 31, 2008 bottle - pours dark copper with very slight haze and thin white head; big hop aromas are on the sweet side and a little grassy; lots of bitterness in the flavors and very dry at the finish; could use some more body and sweetness, but a decent effort tangentrider (144), USA Jul 28, 2008 Deep amber ale, with nice off-white lacing. Aroma is grass and citrus. Flavor is herbal, nicely bitter, with a back end of sweetness and a clear grapefruit note. Finish is clearly bitter, reducing slightly to a fresh sweetness. Loving this one. tonyd56 (4), USA does not count Jul 22, 2008 Pours red and clear with a white head. Great hop aroma with a hoppy finish and a smooth mouthfeel.
