On tap at the Phoenixville location. Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aromas of floral hops with some pine. Tastes floral hops, pine, and had a light spiciness in the finish.

Draft at the Blind Tiger. Some floral and pine hops in the aroma. The flavor has some slightly earthy malt up front followed by a citrusy / piney hop bitterness. Tastes a little like a dry-hopped beer though with the hops being somewhat metallic, but it’s not too bad in that regard.

clear gold, fine beige head, bits of lace, light floral hop aroma, sweet crystal malt flavor, light balancing hops, nice bitterness starts halfway through for a long earthy finish, this nice bitterness is the best thing going for this beer

Draft. Darkish amber pour. Overhopped and not well balanced for my tastes. Mild hops - interesting but not very enjoyable to my taste.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - AUG 22, 2007
Tap @ Sly Fox. The beer was clear orange with an off-white head. The aroma was hoppy some citrus notes but mainly floral. There was also toasted malt with a mild fruitiness. The flavor was dominated with floral hops. The bitterness was big full and kept growing through the very long dry finish.

puzzl (3071) - New York, New York, USA - AUG 15, 2007
On tap at Ginger Man. Very dark red pour. No head. Muddy hop aroma, kind of earthy, orange and mushroom. Caramel and bitter hop taste. Pumello and very dry citrus. An interesting hop, kind of a cross between British and American.

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 15, 2007
Tap at Ginger Man. Bright amber/orange colour with a thick fluffy tan head. Very fruity hop aroma with black currant, black berry and a soft woody resinousness. Jammy with light spiciness as well. Flavour is very hoppy with just enough malt sweetness to restrain it. Toasted grain and sweet caramel on the back set against strong resinous bitterness. Nice balance and another solid single hop brew. This hop is particularly nice.
