Aug 20, 2008 Still trying to figure out the YuleSmith summer thing. Christmas in July? Bottle shared by JCB (thanks Jason!). Hazy bright golden orange pour with medium white head. This was all hops! Didn’t find it as malty as the description, but no worries--the hops were fresh and tasty. Lots of citrus and a nice bitter waxy finish. Yum.

Aug 18, 2008 Lots o citrus aroma. Hazy dark golden color with a large white head. Mild malt sweetness with a lots of hops building to the start of the finish and the slowly fading off.

Aug 18, 2008 (8-16-08) 22 oz. bottle shared by MaltOMeal-served in shakers- met up with Bill to shoot the breeze, trade, watch the Astros, and he decided to whip this puppy out pregame, wow! Poured slightly cloudy darkened golden orange, thin white head that laced some, hearty aroma of floral hops with pine, caramel, and pineapple in the background. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, the malt is tremendously awesome, a touch of sweetness in the middle followed by the inevitable hop assault, finish is acidic and slaps you across the face if you think you don’t want another sip. Great brew, and many thanks for sharing!

Aug 17, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours golden amber/orange with a thick creamy head. Big balanced hops with citrus and pine. Very reminiscent of AleSmith’s standard IPA, but with slightly bigger flavors. Incredible.
