Pours a clear dark brown with a frothy off white head. Aroma is certainly hop. Tastes of caramel, huge presence of bitter hops. Palate is medium to light bodied with a super bitter aftertaste.

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.

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.

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.

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.
