Rune (2757), Tromsø, Norway Sep 6, 2009 One-third pint, gravicask. Deep, dark amber body with a bubbly, off-white head. Rather sharp aroma of dried fruity with malts behind. Mid-bitter orange shells in flavour developing into a bitter, pine hoppy ending. Medium bodied. A flavoursome session beer (GBBF, 04.08.2009). bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Sep 4, 2009 Updated: Sep 7, 2009An amazingly hoppy beer for a 4,4% ABV, but the body is, of course, pretty thin. Hopping is powerful, piney and citrusy, leaving a dry mouthfeel. Impressive and easy to drink. Merci Dumb Dom! Listigovers (96), Ontario, Canada Sep 4, 2009 Bottle, pint glass. Smells piney and oily. Nice amber colour with a small head. Tastes like soil and dirty hops. Rough palate, carbonation is not smooth at all. Weird flavours, really long dirty aftertaste. A bit woody, lots of hops for an amber. An okay beer, tastes like drinking from a forest. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 4, 2009 12 oz. bottle - clear, dark amber and slight off-white head; aromas of candy malts and stale hops; drinks dry and fairly bitter; enjoyed the texture and light toasty, malty flavors jhumphries69 (717), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Sep 3, 2009 Draft at Leon’s Full Service. Pours a dark amber-brown. The beer has a nice hoppy aroma. The flavor has a well-balanced hoppiness with dry bready toasty malts. Very drinkable. garthicus (1216), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 1, 2009 Shared by Jerc and Mabel. Appearance: Rusty orange/red with a small white head. Aroma: Lovely hops, floral, fresh, mango, pepper and pine. Flavour: Bitter hops, grassy straw, pine, nuts and malt. Interesting! SaintMatty (1197), Tallinn, Estonia Sep 1, 2009 Bottle (GBBF 2009) - Copper coloured. Hoppy aroma with grapefruit and caramel. Hoppy taste with grapefruit, caramel, spicy malt and chocolate, followed a nice and hoppy finish. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Aug 31, 2009 Draught at MacGregors.
