Sep 16, 2006 An orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and very grassy, but also with a spicy note, that reminds me of Belgian beers. The flavor is very powerful, and very hoppy - like a strong hop soup, with a slight touch of oranges, and with a very bitter end. Good for hopheads.

Dec 19, 2007 Cloudy beige. Yeasty nose with hints of perfume. Bitter, yeasty with lots of hop. Very bitter finish with some honeyish notes. Interesting hop...wish I had more time to get to know this brew as its always tough to fully appreciate a new hop on the first go.

Score: 3.7 to 3.9
Aroma: still plenty of hop aroma but picking up more of the caramel and a hint of sweetness is beginning to emerge,
Flavor: the flavor is getting a lot more sweet dark caramel character and as expected the hops are receeding but still very present and in great balance with the increasing malt profile, even the bitter finish is more balanced,
