This takes some getting use to. Big Dry Hops and lots of yeast. very cloudy and the taste are almost overpowering. Tremendous head and lacing. After a few drinks they hops begin to linger.

Aug 21, 2008 Bomber Bottle from Champanes, pours a slight hazy yellow gold, has a huge over flowing white head, very effervescent, left lots of lacing on the glass, hop nose of grass, green leaf, herb, dry grass and floral aromas, sourness on the nose, faint malt fragrances, light malt with a good sour on the tongue, juicy lemon flavors, light biscuit and bread, has a big hop flavor that follows the aromas but without the pineyness and palate biting you get from hops used in IPAs, it has a fine hop bitterness and flavor that is very nice, there are some light fruit flavors in the background, faint sweetness at the beginning of the sip but ends with a fine hop bitterness and sour that resembles lemons all mixed in with some malt biscuit and bread flavor, mouth feel is medium or a bit less with a good bit of carbonation on the palate, easy to drink, I am surprised the rating is not higher for this beer, this is interesting stuff.

Aug 12, 2008 First pour is 80% foam which slowly subsides into rocky clumps of white head coating the inside of the glass atop a luminescent pale bronze body. Aroma of fresh noble grassy hops and some lightly sweet pale malt. Body starts effervescent and crisp with a good bittersweetness toward a drier finish. Pretty interesting and drinkable.

Jun 25, 2008 (22oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Crystal clear apple juice body with small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, some spice/grass, light honey, melon. Taste is moderately sweet, grassy, melon, some alcohol, honey. Sticky medium-full body. Strikes me as an Imperial Pils, and a pretty good one.

Jun 25, 2008 22oz bottle pours mostly clear medium-dark straw color with a white head, and just a faint bit of haze. Hoppy, sharp and dry fruity yeast notes in the nose, vibrant and fresh, thick and viscous on the palate, medium to full bitterness, sticky and oily at times, lovely.
