Jul 8, 2008 Amber, clear beer with small off-white head. Cat’s pee, valerian, grapey hopse, sweet oxfat. Again cat’s pee in the taste, valerian and cassis. Hop’s cake, nearly sweet in the aftertaste, rosewater-like. Medium bodied, bit flat. Nice beer, but "Imperial" is ridiculous, but this is definitely "amber" on a different level. Thanks, CK !

Jul 5, 2008 Clear amber-ish color with a white head that retained well and left good lacing. Smell was plenty hoppy as expected; piney, resiny hops dominate, perhaps a bit of citrus too. There is a little bit of malt prescence, emphasis on the little; this one is plenty hoppy with the same attributes as noted in the nose. Highly carbonated with less than medium body. This is pretty good, would definately drink more of it and it would probably find a good home in my fridge if not for it’s distance from me. Luckily for me I have a somewhat-local brewer making a hoppy amber so no worries for me. Worth trying if you run across it.

Jul 4, 2008 this is one of my favorites which i haven’t seen anywhere locally in a bit :( delicious ale with a great orange/lightish copper complexion and a thick, thick creamy head that remains long after the pour. has a definite citrus flavor with a perfect balance of bitterness. i love it!

Jul 3, 2008 Delicious. Wonderful hoppy aroma. Bitter and sweet. Smooth and malty, nice balance. Piney, citrusy hop in flavor and aroma. Nice mouthfeel, all in all a great brew.

Jun 28, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange/amber color with a creamy yellowish beige head. Great retention and lacing. The aroma is a heavy dose of fruity hops(citrus and tropical) with moderately sweet caramel malt. The flavor is more of the wonderful fruity hop (citrus/tropical) goodness from the aroma with the caramel malt balancing things nicely. Full mouthfeel with good carbonation. The finish is on the dry side, but does contain some fruity notes as well. This was much better than expected, and I expected it to be good.

Jun 28, 2008 Had this one on tap at a bar. Not a huge fan of troegs in general, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Very tasty beer.

Jun 26, 2008 This poured a light copper in color with a medium fluffy head of fine white bubbles. Aromas were of herbs followed by citrus and finishing with a bunch of sweet caramel. In the mouth it is meidum-bodied and well-balanced with balancing malt in the midpalate which fades toward hops in the dry and bitter finish.
