Pours a gorgeous glowing, light sunny orange color with a nice white head that leaves good lacing. Smell is nicely balanced with sticky malt and a moderate hop presence. A touch of alcohol in the nose as well, which increases a lot as it warms. Taste is nice at first with a smooth creamy body and very light carbonation. Moderately hopped and balanced with hop flavors of hibuscus and tea. Very mild bitterness, but in the end the alcohol presence is way higher than it needs to be and becomes obtrusive for me. Otherwise, a nice beer.

Dec 14, 2007 Very citrusy orangey hop aroma, distinct but not strong, a very strange light red gold color, taste is unexpectedly powerful, huge hoppy citrus with plenty of sweet malt backing, ,all that sweetness you get makes it more a pale ale then an IPA, very intrigueing, almost a perfectly balanced brew,10% hardly noticed,never tasted sucha strong light colored brew as this

Dec 12, 2007 Poured a deep orange color with ruby hues and a foamy white head. Smells like a well hopped IPA, plenty of pine, soap, orange, lemon but also banana, malt, and a touch of yeast. Taste is hard candy, citrus, oranges/tangerines, malt, medicine, and resin. Finish is sticky and thick on the tongue and palate with a slight lasting bitterness and heat from the alcohol. Smells good, looks good, unique, drinkable. Worth a try.

Dec 12, 2007 Bomber courtesy of eaglefan538. Pine and sweet malt some grain in aroma. Gold body with good head some lacing clung to top of pint glass. Flavor has a citrus grapefruit at first. Second glass from bomber more a dry resin sugary sweet malt that you get from those accross the pond. Sweet dry aftertaste on palate but good brew after a hard days work.

Dec 11, 2007 22 oz. bottle shared by csbosox at the 12/7 tasting at Indra’s. Pour is slightly hazed golden-orange with a smallish white head. Aroma full of Amarillo hops, slightly earthy, and somewhat citrusy. Some sweetness also present in the nose. Taste is nice, a good resin-earthy sweet citrus thing going on. There is also some graininess to the taste. The finish is a bit of grapefruit rind which detracts a bit. Overall nice, though a bit jagged in the finish. Thanks for hauling this one back, Chris.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle shared by csbosox at Indra’s tasting on 12/7/07. Pours a hazy straw with a thin, creamy, white cap. The nose is of caramel and "candied" citric hops (Columbus?) with a lesser note of candy sugar sweetness in the background. Medium-bodied it feels slick at first but transitions to lightly grainy at the swallow and concludes in a tight, bitter finish. The flavor follows the nose with the citric hops and nice carbonation acting together as a nice complement to the sweet, wheaty, malt body.

Dec 10, 2007 22 oz bottle: Pours a light amber color a thin but hearty, pock-marked foam top. The aroma is sweet and inticing, drawing me like a bee to honey. This drinks with a resiny oily body, smooth and incredibly easy to drink ... no way this has 10%! The hoppiness is sweet and piney, but not obtuse. Excellent beer! (#3244, 12/10/2007)
