Jan 15, 2009 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Copper with lasting flat head and lace. Very hoppy fresh aroma. Mild melon and apricot biscuit fruity sweetness with bracing bitter hop and hop flavor. Dry finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Slight bite. Very tasty and perfect to go with my spicy Indian food.

Jan 4, 2009 Tulip from Oak Cask (Sharp Edge, Pgh)
Cloudy pink tea color in the glass, with a fluffy clingy head. Muted smooth hop aroma, pink grapefruit with some muted oak character. Smooth on the tongue, less bitey than it is from the bottle non-cask. Critrus and green wood in the mouth, watery palate with a bitter tangy aftertaste. Great beer on cask..or anyway you can get it.

Jan 4, 2009 Thanks to Daknole for the bottle. Pours a hazy amber orange with a one inch white fluffy head. Great retention and lacing. Aromas of pine and resin with a light malt touch, bread. Flavors upfront of malts, with a nice hop finish, but bitterness is minimal.

Dec 26, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a murky burnt orange with a one finger head. Smell is strong floral and hoppiness with slight sweet hint. Taste hits with complex hop flavor with citrus that mellows to a nice malty sweetness. Mouthfeel is very easy. A very good hop beer

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle from trade with Butters. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that left light lace. Nice caramel and hop citrus aroma. The flavor found orange peel and a malt balance. Medium body, crisp, medium bitterness. Very nice!

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle props to Butters for the hook up. The pour is very cloudy with a huge, evenly formed white head. The aroma is about what I am talking. Loads of very dank, stanky herbal hops are right up in my nose. A dash of citrus is thrown in and maybe some biscuity scents, maybe. As American as the aroma is on this, the flavor is more English leaning. I get a little less of that herbal bitterness and more wood, more cheese, more cereal. The malts are right in check, actually they provide a little more character than the average hugely hoppy American beer. I am really enjoying this stuff. The hops are all over the place and leave my palate pretty dry.
