Jul 5, 2008 Excellent looking beer here, blonde color with a white head that has great retention and leaves plenty of lacing. Smell is very nice too, plenty of pine and fresh grapefruit to treat your nose. Taste was very hoppy, as expected. Flavors of grapefruit, pine, various other citrus flavors were also noticed. Bitterness was certainly present, but not a harsh bitterness, was more about hop flavor than IBU’s. Medium body with a medium carbonation pair quite well with this one. Very solid beer, I would definitely have another, wish I picked up more than a single.

Jul 2, 2008 Perfect orange pour with a slight head. Wonderful aroma! citrus fruitsand sweetness.The flavor is much of the same with grapefruit, peaches, pine and tangarines. This is my favorite beer. Perfect! You would never know it was 10%. A true testament to craft brewers around the world.

Jun 28, 2008 This beer is Heaven in my mouth. Show me a better beer. This has perfect balance of flavors and alcohol. I only wish it was more readily available.

Jun 27, 2008 Poured a lemon-yellowish gold into a pint glass. Inch thick creamy head that slowly settled.
Great aroma. Very citrusy/grapefruity with some cut grass. Also a slight sweetness in the aroma.
Taste was great as well. Bitter hoppiness nicely balanced by a complementary malty sweetness. This beer tastes good!
Mouthfeel is very smooth. The hops hit first but you get a nicely cleaned palate after each sip.
Overall, this beer goes down far too easily for its high ABV. Be careful! This is also on the expensive side (I paid $3 for a 12 oz bottle) but I wasn’t disappointed. A little expensive to drink all the time, but was a very nice treat!
