What a perfect brew for 200th rating! Pours a amber/brownish color with a small white head. Wonderful aromas of piney hop,malt and a hint of brown sugar fill the air. Upon first sip....wow... hophead heaven in a bottle! Wonderful piney/citrus hop flavor swirl on your tongue,then the big bitter hits you at the end.Slight malt flavor hidden inside,but gets beatin down by the glorious hops!!All behold and rejoice! The hoplord commeth!

Sep 17, 2008 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of peaches as well as a light flowery hoppy note, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.

Sep 6, 2008 deep copper colo, almond-colored creamy head. aroma is bright and citrusy with a monster caramel maltiness. Flavor has a nice caramel and toasty quality to it. plenty of hops and not as sweet as I would have imagined based on the nose. finishes with a crisp and slightly earthy quality and the bitterness lingers.

Aug 12, 2008 Pours a ruby/orange almost purple color with a nice off-white medium foam on top. Interesting malt aroma, rye? sweet and pungent, floral hops, way different for an IPA. Totally tastes like rye malts, lightly fruity, a little bit sugary sweet, and some bittering hops. Kinda salty in the finish, pine and resin. Medium/light body, not sticky, great smooth small bubble carbonation. If its not rye that taste must come from the roast... I like that flavor.

Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC - thanks to Facto for this tasty treat. Very refreshing after a few stouts. Dark amber pour; almost copper with white head and nice lace. Floral aroma. Piney flavor with a nice dry finish

Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to Facto for sharing! Another winner from Tyranena, a well balanced, hop forward pale that’s meaningfully distinct from their other offerings like Bitter Woman and Hop Whore. Rich and creamy pour and body, nice floral aroma, and a slightly dry, chalky finish. Satisfying even if not too unique.
