May 20, 2008 Clear gold, big puffy head. Good citric, hoppy nose, some sweetness. First impression is a great palate, very full and rich. Good hops, light grapefruit, a bit of pine astringency. Excellent malt backbone, really well-balanced, insanely drinkable considering its strength. Would like a bit more citrus in it, but that’s just personal preference. Very nice.

May 19, 2008 22oz - Golden liquid under light yellow head. Nice looking, but that’s about as good as it got. Everything seemed disconnected. I’ll stick with the Gemini before this again.

May 18, 2008 On tap at Capital Ale House - Downtown. Clear golden body with a large frothy off-white head. Sweet citrus and flroal hop aroma. Very sweet caramel and honey flavor with some floral and citrus hops and a fairly dry bitter finish. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.

May 18, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a very cloudy amber with a moderate yellow/white head that lasted until mid-glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of fruity citrus. The flavor is equally nice with a strong caramel malt presence supporting citrus hops bitterness. It is a pleasure to enjoy a hoppy beer that is not overwhelmed by pine and acrid grapefruit peels. The alcohol was very well hidden and went virtually undetected. Very good beer.

May 18, 2008 Bottled, tried at Sean and Ryan’s tasting in Carlsbad with DenverLogan, wetherel, WeeHeavySD and many others. Being from San Diego, this hop monster suits my fancy just fine. Dark gold color and some light white lacing. Floral and sappy pine resin aroma with lots of orange citrus. Flavor is mildly sweet with notes of wheat underneath. Finishes with medium bitterness and a great body. Nice!

May 17, 2008 Tasted at Sean and Ryan’s party. Yellow amber color. Sweet malty. Mellow hop taste, but nice hop aroma. Delicious. Another Southern Tier winner.

May 16, 2008 Tap at Capital Ale House 05/13/08. Clear dark golden with large frothy head that stuck around. Big floral/citrusy hop aroma. Pronounced citrusy and fruity hop flavors over a light pilsner or other malt backbone with some fruity yeast character. Fairly full mouthfeel with some residual hop bitterness in the finish and some alchohol warming. Nicely balanced Hoppe beer.

May 14, 2008 An light orange colored beer with a nice white head. Great hop taste with a citrus blend First couple of sips you can tell it’s a 9% beer. After that you get used to it. I had the 22oz. bottle.
