Sample at the tasting at From the Vine on 1.30.09. Clear amber pour with a white head. Hopped up aroma of citrus and pine without much else. Citrusy hop flavors of grapefruit and orange with some malt. Not as crisp as I had hoped. Could have used some Cascade or Centennial amongst the gazillion other hops they used.

Bottle from Sammy. Thanks! Caramelly reddish-orange color with a small beige head. Aroma of pine needles, a bit of citrus and some caramelly malt. Bitter flavor with resinous hops, some pine, a bit of sweet malt and some tropical fruits (pineapple and some others).

On tap at Cole’s Rare Beer Fest in Buffalo. Great hoppy juicy aroma. Orange pour, decent white head. Strong taste - all juicy hops balanced with some delicious medium malt. No citrus here, all resin and I loved it.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Pretty strong citrus and pine hop aroma with a little caramel malts. Citrus and pine hops, resin, and a little bit of caramel malts on this one. Pretty impressed with this brew.

Bright orange color with a moderate white head. Big hops, sweet, fruity and citric. Flavor is exceptionally smooth, with the hops being the prevalent flavor. Great brew.

2009-01-24. Crisp orange-amber body with a modest beige head. (3+) Hoppy aroma is inviting, green herbaceous hops. Pleasant bitterness throughout, modest resin and herbal hops, mild citrus. Average plus palate. I normally like more citrus and less of the green hoppy notes but this was really nice, and super drinkable. More please. Tap at Coles Rare Beer Fest, Buffalo

Bottle. Pours a clear orange amber with a medium sized off white head comprised of small tight bubbles. Pine and citrus hops are abundant on the nose with hints of pineapple. Starts off slightly sweet with a medium thick mouthfeel. Leads into an excellent grapefruit and quinine bitter finish. Really good stuff.

Almost my favorite beer of all-time. Wonderful hop aroma and even better flavorful. Very resiny. Amazingly drinkable for a 7.5 beer. Truly a magnificent beer worthy of its reputation.
