incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Jul 3, 2008 gOOD, citrusy hop aroma, slight pine. ABV is not noticable. Very easy drinker for 8%, and somthing that I would purchase again. GonZoBeeR (2156), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Jul 2, 2008 Beer a 10% not 8%..
Aroma:Cirus and grappefruit hops....
Appearance:Light hazy gold,light head...
Flavor:Cirus hops,light caramel,light pine hops flavor.... lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA Jul 1, 2008 Pours golden with off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, pale malt, and citrus hop. Flavor begins with sweet toffee and caramel and moves to some delicious citrus hops, finishing with bitter pine. Flavor is a little too sugary, but pretty damn good nonetheless. johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Jun 29, 2008 Pours clear golden with one finger off white head that left good lacing to the bottom. Nice hop aroma of citrus and a little pine behind a sweet malt nose. Flavor starts sweet, but balances with a smooth hop bitterness sets a while on the tongue. Med. body and a little thick in the texture. Good beer that is well balanced and a pleasure to drink. KnN (715), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours a nice looking orange/yellow color with a nice white head and good lacing on the glass.
Aroma is almost like sniffing a sweetened grapefruit while standing in a Christmas tree lot. There are a lot of different hops in this one, and they’re all playing in the nose of this beer.
Flavor is a little sweet, but there are a lot of hops in this one. Backend is almost like a sour orange. the hops in this are almost overwhelming, but I think the malt backbone is just strong enough to support it. Good beer. Challenging beer. hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jun 21, 2008 fresh bottle supplied by bgburdman9... odd color...orange/yellow... pale apricot with a long lasting white head and lots of drippy lacing. really sweet aroma with notes of pale graininess, yellow peach, orange pith, light pine, grass and tea (or tea-like tannins). ouch... beyond cloying on the palate. flavors of floral orange blossoms, caramel, resiny pine and citrus all blanketed by a dense layer of residual sugar. piny finish is short lived. medium to full bodied from the sugars with a sticky mouth feel... all together unpleasant. JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Jun 21, 2008 Great, fresh aroma of hops and wildflowers. Sweet malt in the flavor, but well balanced by bitter hops with flavors of grass, flowers, and herbs. The high abv is well hidden. Harsh on the palate in a good way, with the bitter hops lashing at the tongue and leaving a mild hop burn. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 20, 2008 Opaque deep orange and gold with a slightly off white head. The aroma is massive grapefruit with some almonds and apples. The taste has some grapefruit rind and sharp bitterness in the finish. There is a little bit of sweet caramel, but it gets slapped back down by the bitterness during each drink. A massively hopped brew that is surprisingly easy to drink.
