General_Gao (2405), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Aug 6, 2008 Draft at Piece Brewery & Pizzeria. Poured a clear dark orange/brown color. The head was thick, fluffy, and white with good retention and lacing. Smelled of citrus, caramel, and light grass. Light to medium bodied and dry with mild to moderate hop bitterness of about 4 out of 10. The flavor profile was fruit dominated and included the likes of citrus fruits, mango, and subdued pineapple. There was also a distinct black tea note. A citrus-tropical iced tea, if you will. amish_caravan (189), Winona, Minnesota, USA Aug 5, 2008 pours a cloudy light brown. scent is of lots of hops and a little citrus. taste is also of lots of hops. I wuld purchase this again. nice brew. IlanMan (501), Winona, Minnesota, USA Aug 5, 2008 real bitter brew. slight dark brown and orange color. Aroma is pretty hoppy but that was the main flavor. good brew. would buy again. piscator34 (897), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Aug 5, 2008 A gift can from oakbluff (thanks, buddy!). Hazy light orange in colour with medium carbonation. Huge floral hop aroma, with an almost to the point of being wit-bier-like soapy quality. The hops take on a decidedly more grapefruit flavor in the mouth, and work well against the grainy malt backdrop. There’s a great last ing leafy bitterness too. A lightweight Furious... but pretty damn good in its own right. harrisoni (5011), Ashford, Kent, England Aug 4, 2008 Can at Chris_o Pre GBBF Shindig 08. I love these Surly canned beers. Copper colour, lasting beige head. Lots of hops on aroma. Good leafy hop, but it doesn’t stand up in the mouth. Some toffee on the malts. Dies a bit after that good pink grapefruit aroma. Goes to show it takes a lot of skill to make a tasty lower ABV beer.
