Aug 21, 2008 12 oz. in trade from MaltOMeal- thanks! Served in tulip- poured nearly transparent darkened copper/amber, one finger head that tried to steal my smokes as it laced, very light carbonation. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, and month old gym socks (?). Hits the mouth with a wide body, malt seems to be a bit old and overdried at the elevator when it was harvested, citrus comes in the finish followed by the hops rolling in shortly afterwards. It’s ok, but not something I would seek out. Bad bottle?

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a nice amber, nice lacing. Big aroma, citrus and pine. Nice sweetness, but the bitterness is a bit too much. I’ll pick some up for you OG.

Aug 19, 2008 Updated: Oct 2, 20084 pack of 12 ozers purchased at Brawley’s in Charlotte. Poured into a Karmeliet tulip glass a hazy orange/gold color with a one finger whitish head. Medium amount of lacing. Aroma was awesome. Nose was a combination of citrus and pine. Flavor was well balanced with a slightly sweet malt taste up front with the bitter hops on the end. Medium-full bodied with good carbonation. Great Beer.

Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Oct 5, 2008I poured this one and I knew I was in for a good time. Hazy orange-red with a bubbly, cream colored head. The smell was amazing: hop dominated with equal parts grapefruit and pine. Beautiful mouthfeel. The only negative was that the finish was a bit too bitter.

Aug 15, 2008 This beer was a surprise. I’m always looking for that Big Hop beer that will knock my socks off, and this is the real deal. Aroma was pure hops, like freshly cut from the field. Smooth going down the the bitter hop ending that opens the senses.

Aug 13, 2008 At first I really liked the aroma. Great orange color; not much head. this is just dominated by bittering hops, so much so, that it just isn’t that good. Needs a little more balance.
