does not count  Jan 2, 2007 From a 12 oz bottle to a shaker the brew exhibited a light amber- orange color with a frothy tan head. A definite NW US hop aroma is present (cascade? centennial?). The first taste results in a medium bodied beverage with a creamy texture. A very hoppy taste with a finish that is long and gently diminishing. The head has shown a lasting ability with nice lacing down to the end. As a self-proclaimed "hophead", I must say that this is an excellent introduction to more seriously hopped brews.

Jan 1, 2007 Poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Reddish, golden-orange color. Off white head that died down quickly. Nice, hoppy aroma with pine and floral notes. Crisp bitterness but well balanced. A good all around brew where hop flavor and aroma are featured.

Dec 29, 2006 Medium brown-amber with a good, tall beige head.
Aromas of nuts, toast, grapefruit, and malt.
Medium bodied, with a well-gauged amount of carbonation. Flavors are lively, dry but not drying to the palate. Bitterness is restrained until the finish.
A well-rounded brew for hopheads.

Dec 22, 2006 Bottle. Ruby, reddish-orange in color. thin to no head. Hoppy with notes of brown sugar to the nose. 2-part taste: tart, thin, crisp bitterness on the tongue offset by honey, lightly malty after taste in the back of the throat. Solid.

AwesomeJay (3), Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA
does not count Dec 16, 2006 Great first taste, that keeps me coming back. Nice rich color and smooth finish, great hoppy aroma. ( Can’t stop smelling this beer). A hint of citrus and spice linger in this Ale, along with a nice, not exteme bitterness and a rush of malt in the background. A must try for new comers in the area.
Marsiblursi (1631), Göteborg, Sweden
Dec 13, 2006 (Bottle) pours dark amber/red. Easy hop profile with caramely malt lingering in the background. Small notes of plums, new cut grass spicyness and strawberry jam in aroma. Hoppy, Piney organic/floral flavour with an ok bitterness. Fresh malty backbone. Good.
jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA
Dec 10, 2006 Pours copper with a light, frothy, white head. Forward citrus hop aroma. Nice strong citrusy, spicy hops upfront, rich balancing roasty malt background, with a slight hint of caramel. Palate is medium, a little chewy/oily, slight hop spice, and lasting bitterness. Rich and complex, a great example of the style.
