drfabulous (738), Columbia, Missouri, USA Jul 13, 2008 Let down beer. Not very hoppus and not very maximus. Standard pale ale/amber-ish taste. Nothing out of the ordinary. Wouldn’t try again.
Stine (1354), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 3, 2008 A lightly misty dirty blonde pour, and a very thin film of white. Musky orange peel and dusty earth aroma, with a greasy sweetness of honey and cornish tones of burnt sugars and root vegetables. Lots of wet leaves. These are autumn-toned hops, and it works halfway.
Similar flavor; sharply bitter, but laden full with squash and sweet corn vegetal textures, and dusted with sweet tea malt flavors. Floral tones hum a distant treble. The bitterness of hops and the sweetness of malt are both quite textbook in character in this example, while the crystal flavors combined with a little age create a strange tea and corn predominance over the remainder of this beer’s rather tolerable and pleasant flavors. Pine-like bitterness draws out, with some grapefruit, and far-out caramel.
Crispy, spicy palate; medium in body, and quite sharp; not astringent, but too simple in bitterness, relying too heavily on the pithiness of citrus skins and the abrasive bite of green spiciness, with none of the deeper nuances of those hop profiles. Not unlikable or even noticeably irritating in any way, but really impossible to get into. Thanks Kristine! DrDavid (332), Johnson, Vermont, USA Sep 19, 2008 (Bottle). Pleasant citrusy aroma. Medium amber color, thin head. Taste is mostly pineapple with hints of orange. Mild, pretty refreshing.....seems like a restrained version of an APA. grimreeser (738), Minnesota, USA Sep 16, 2008 Pours amber with a smallish head. Aroma is citrus, spicy hops, and caramel. Solid bitterness that lasts. Mogwai (189), Askeby, Denmark Sep 7, 2008 Bottle at Ørsted. Tasted at pub crawl with local dept. of Danish Beer enthusiasts. When I had it I only managed to write down my rating, but no notes. Bit I liked it. decaturstevo (1271), decatur, Tennessee, USA Aug 15, 2008 A nose of maltiness and hops. A hazed amber/orange pour wth gooey white lace. Malty flavor with hard hints of citrus kinda like an orange. Nice medium bodied beer that again is a bit of a surprise. Nice drinker smooth clean very good beer.
