Jun 7, 2009 9 oz draft courtesy of the TB Hop Juice release (Warrenville, IL). Pours a transparent dark amber pour. Small offwhite head with minimal lacing. Aromas throw a nice floral aroma, mangos, grapefruit, and citrusy apeal. Light caramel malts. Initial throws some good hoppy bitterness, tropical, grapefruit, lemon, very nice. A little thin overall in body, but great flavors, caramel malts are humped into submission by wonderful hops. Finishes bitter, sweet, fruity, pleasant. Very nice. Cheers.

Jun 6, 2009 Medium amber, decent head. Aroma is piney hops and anise. Flavor is tons of pine, lots of caramel, and some cooked grapefruit. Finish is very bitter. Not bad, but didn’t blow me away either.

Jun 6, 2009 A very nice mahogany body with minimal white head. A very nice aroma, light lemon, orange, some honey mixed with the base Northwestern hops. Taste isn’t nearly as hoppy as I thought it would be. A bit diminished overall as a result. Smooth ending, with a bit of sugarcane.

May 18, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear light amber with a good off white head. The head lasts well. Produces excellent lacing. Has a good aroma of pine, citrus and light malt hints. Has a good caronation. A real nice mouthfeel. The flavor is well mixed. Not too hoppy but a definate amount of hops is there. A medium body. They hide the alcohol very well. Doesn’t seem as high as it is. Has a good finish. I like thiss one a good change of pace from the super hoppy IPA’s .Enough hops to get me excited but smooth mix.
