COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

Consumed on 4/15/12 - best before 5/22/12 - standard pint glass.Aroma is grapefruit and plenty of it.. The beer is a clear amber color - off white head - sheet of lacing. the taste has great balance, so good. The beer is medium bodied with a silky smooth feel. Overall - fantastic beer!

This was a very good beer with a lot of flavor. Nice and hoppy with a strong malt backbone that finished with a small alcohol warmth.

I was apprehensive at first, but this was love at first taste. Only topped in my mind by its oaked counterpart ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I don’t think I could write this wonderful beer high enough. the combination of complex hops & sweet malt. strong pine and grapefruit hop aroma pairs well with overall taste. a well rounded beer u have to taste to believe.

Pours a dark golden orange. Aroma is very complex. Taste is great. Really strong on the palate. One of my favorite every day strong ales!

On tap in a pint glass... Nice head with nice citrusy aroma. Very dark, amber color. Tastes initially of hops but finishes very smooth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Big flavor, mild to moderate bittering, the beer came to life when the temperature of the beer rose closer to room temp.

The nose on this is...shockingly weak, given how strong everything else in it is. It has a slightly toasted bread smell hinting at some darker malts. Hops seem to be of american high alpha variety, good citrus/fruit smells. Leaves good head disspates a bit quickly, and medium lacing. Tastes heavily bitter with a bit of malty sweetness, good strong biscuit taste.

Not a ton going on in the aroma. There is a caramel/malty smell with just a slight bit of hops. Taste is very bitter though. Also has an alcohol bite/burn at the end. Could this potentially be ageable? We will see....
