Aug 23, 2008 22 oz bottle. Sweet hoppy smell. Odor not too bitter. Thick white head is hanging around for the party. A pale, dull yellow color. Lots of flavors upon first taste. Fruity and sweet was first impression. Late bitter aftertaste, like so late in arriving I was beginning to think there wasn’t going to be much of one at all. Head still dense and thick. Taste honey and hops. It’s hangin around, glomming up the back of my throat. Seriously sharp, bitter aftertaste to go with the full, round mouthfull. Very, very nice.

Aug 22, 2008 Copper with a large, long-lasting white head... lots of soapy lacing. Nose is grapefruit extreme with a little caramel and pine lurking in there. Flavor is bitter and nicely malty with a little more caramel. Salty, medium body that leaves a sticky pine aftertaste. Good IIPA, and I’m not the biggest fan of them.

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 (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!
