Bottle from acrdz. Aroma of floral, pine, orange, and grapefruit hops. Some malt sweetness too. Might not be the "freshest", but not bad still. Floral hops, pine, pepper, and light fruity hops make up the hop profile. A good amount of caramel malt adds balance and some sweetness too. Not as bitter as I would have hoped for, but still bitter, don’t get me wrong. Definitely not as good to me as the Unearthly, but a good beer in it’s own right. Alcohol is almost undetectable. Nice.

Pours to a lightly hazy golden body with a frothy cream white head. The aroma is citrus, pine, spruce, and oranges. There’s a lot going on in this. The flavor is strongly grassy with bitter pine and spruce. Balanced with subtle chalkiness. Bitter palate with a lingering bitterness works well. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is mostly grapefruit and orange, some pine and some caramel. Medium/full body. Flavor is more of a lemony citrus compared to the aroma. Also notes of caramel and grass. Quite drinkable.

seeing as i like both beers that are blended to make this beer, it’s no sirprise that i really liked this one. color is hazy straw, with a fairly thick head. flavor is very malty, very thick mouthfeel for a lighter colored beer. very good...

Bottle, with a thank you to hopdog! Pours a clear golden with a creamy two finger white head, great lacing. Aroma is all hops, with pine, grapefruit, citrus, and tropical fruits. Flavor brings all the hops along, with more grapefruit and tropical fruits present; just a slight bit sweet, and wow is this stuff drinkable! Goes down nice and smooth and compels you to drink more. Another great one from ST; thanks again Steve!

Pour is bright copper with a big, white, fluffy head. good lacing. Aroma of hops, hops and more hops. A slight bit of malt i guess, but hops prevail. Bitter flavor too. Good body, smooth with a lasting finish.

Bottle. Amber pour with an orange hint and some off-white head. There is citrus in the aroma with some crisp pilsener malt and pine hops in the back. The flavors are also crips; both malt and hops, with it being pretty well balanced and easy drinking for the high alcohol percentage. Good bitterness level also.
