Feb 3, 2009 Bottle - thanks to rudy for picking this up for me. Lovely bright golden with a large white head that leaves lots of lace. Fresh and full aroma, sweet and hoppy with notes of candied orange peel and pine needles. Medium bodied. Flavour is definitely hop-forward, with tingly hints of lemon, orange, pine and wintergreen. Malt is a bit muted, but there’s enough to add a mild sweetness in the background. A bit much for everyday drinking, but as far as hop bombs go, it’s quite a good one.

Jan 29, 2009 (Bottled, 0.66l) Clear golden with a small, lasting head. Aroma of pale malt, yeast, and some wheaty-lemony sourness. Pale-malty flavor with mellow hop presence, some alcohol warmth, pear, and hints of wheat. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with soft carbonation. Somewhat alcoholic, but at least easily drinkable with decent body.

Jan 26, 2009 0.65 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere. Bright copper color. Sweet, caramelly, warming, and hoppy aroma with pineapple and pine. Bittersweet, toffeish and hoppy flavor with grapefruity, piney and herbal hops. Tastes fortified with warming alcohol and hint of alcohol sharpness also. Good hop character but I found this a bit too sweet and chewy, not very drinkable.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle. Low white fluffy and lasting head. Hazy amber body. Fruity caramel aroma and a bit of alcohol and hops. Pretty hoppy flavor though in combination with the high alcohol percentage is disguising other flavors. Low carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.

Jan 23, 2009 What a cracking beer. Lovely and hoppy, full of life, lemon, grapefruit, candy cane. Just right. Wonderful hoppy aroma should be bottled and sold as perfume.

Jan 19, 2009 Poured at 50. Comes in with a sweet hoppy aroma, which is quite distinct. It has a different flavor. It’s almost like it starts at the back of the tongue and works forward, but then lingers on the front. A really good beer, and quite enjoyable.
