Nov 6, 2007 Bottle. Amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma of citrus, pineapple, and some caramel malt. A good amount of malt flavor up front with grapefruit, lemon peel and some grassy bitterness in the finish. Hop resin clings to the palate. This is a pretty tasty beer, and it gets better as you drink it.

Nov 5, 2007 Medium shiny offwhite lasting head. Amber body with light carbonation and floating yeast particles. Sugary honeyish grassy citric hoppy aroma with the typical catty simcoe notes. Sweetish malty notes. Dry firm sweet malt and straw taste with medicinal honey notes. Dry medicinal simcoe aftertaste with residual sweetness. Excellent! (0.66l bottle at RBNAG’07.)

Oct 31, 2007 Updated: Aug 10, 2008Pour is a hazy orange with an off-white head. Very big citrus nose with some malty sweetness as well. Taste is of heavy hops, simcoe is obviously very present. Alcohol is not very easy to detect. Some grapefruit and pine are detectable. Caramel and malts are also there. Good IIPA that drinks well.

Oct 27, 2007 (on bottle) Mørk orange, beige head. Sherry-like maltyness, next-to-no hoparoma, strange. The hops gets more present in the taste, almost gets all that sugar in balance and almost gets complex, almost.

Oct 24, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was thick and light tan with good retention and lacing. There was some seriously thick and tenacious lace on the glass at the end. Aroma was of malty caramel, alcohol, and pineapple. Sweet on the tongue with moderate to assertive hop bitterness throughout of about 6-7 out of 10. The bitterness was tempered somewhat by the malty sweetness, but the teeth of the hops were still there. Caramel, pineapple, alcohol, and flowery hops rounded out the flavor. Pretty good stuff.

Oct 23, 2007 Pours a five+ finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving an excellent lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Grapefruit nose. Flavor is piney grapefruit with hints of sweetness, finish is sweetish but a dry hoppy aftertaste. Better than the usual IPA. $2.60 for a 12oz bottle from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, ME.
