JohnQPublic (304), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jan 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark copper with a pillowy off-white head. Lots of heavy lacing. Nose is sweet citrus, slightly astringent, resiny, with some fruity esters poking through. Taste is sweet and citrusy but a bit aspiriny as well, with a toasty malt character in there also. Mouthfeel is lively but not too carbonated, medium-full body. Very nice.
lweiberg (78), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jan 5, 2009 12th release, similar to Bigfoot although not as potent and satisfying. Not worth $6 for a 24 oz bottle. Oscbert (328), Sacramento, California, USA Jan 4, 2009 ~Pours a copper color with foamy off white head. Good lacing.
~Nice citrus hop aroma with mild caramel malts.
~Spicy citrus hop flavor, somewhat acidic.
~Medium feel, biter acidic finish.
~Good brew. An enjoyable bitter beer. Gets bitter as palate adjusts to the bitterness. nightrider (267), encinitas, California, USA Jan 4, 2009 Pour gave an amber copper hue. Thick frothy white head. Fresh citrus with some maltiness on your nose. Medium bodied. Good balance of hops, sweet malt, caramel, and a good finish.
