Mar 20, 2008 Growler from Stine! Thanks dude. A great aroma that is a mixture of fresh grapefruit, pine trees, herb (weed) and bready malt. Pours a golden amber color with a lasting thin head and awesome lace. Straight bitter hops up front with a great balance of caramel and bread. Flavors of grapefruit, pine and pepper are present and create a long lingering dry finish that seem to last forever. Full of flavor, yet amazingly easy to drink. This stuff is great.

Mar 9, 2008 A spectacularly hopped beer with plenty of floral character (or perhaps I’ve just been underwhelmed with the IPAs I’ve been trying lately). `orange colored body with faint head. A strong citrus hop flavor with a faint bitter finish.

Feb 28, 2008 At Town Hall right now on 2/28/2008. Pint pours slightly haze amber gold with a small head and nice lace. Aroma is sweet, floral, and fresh hops. The flavor has a good hop show and a nice malt backbone. Nice and fairly rich. Good.

Feb 20, 2008 Near crystal clear orange honey colored body. Weed-like stenchy (almost moldy) nose of twigs, pine needles, dry, fresh cut pine wood, and dry, grassy simcoe hops. Pineapple? Not so much, but I actually don’t get any pineapple in the Weyerbacher Double Simcoe either. Fresh, vibrant evergreen needles and dry, parched, crusty sap round this one out. A really solid, very hoppy pale ale that smells like an IPA. I don’t think it really deserves to be this high up on the APA list, but it’s still a solid pale ale for sure.
