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.

Aug 14, 2008 courtesy of Per - cloudy orange colour with a persistent beige head; aroma of peach, cream, citrus and quince marmelade, resiney; astringent and full-bodied, deeply bitter, quite dry fruity and flowery aftertaste with a never-ending bitterness and more quince and apricot - what a beer!

Aug 9, 2008 2008 Summer Release. Clear dark orange hue with a large craggy white head. Aroma is divine with large swaths of citrus, floral, and light pine hops, cotton candy, and sweet malts. Initial taste is sweet citrus and bitter hops that continue to overpower the malts and spices in the background until the bitter and drying finish. Texture is thick and chewy with lively carbonation that accentuates the sweet hop flavors. A wonderful batch from Peter and crew with excellent balance between sweet and bitter hops.

Aug 8, 2008 Thank you very much for sharing this Juart. A clear orange color with almost pinkish hues. A frothy 2-finger off-white head. Nose is sweet cotton candy, tons of citrus, and a flowery hop. The flavor has a lot of powerful bitter components, but the citrus and the floral characters shine brighter than the bitterness. Has a medium body and finishes pretty bitter. I would love to have this again.

Aug 8, 2008 Though this beer had great things about it, I was still hoping for more. The aroma was lovely with hops and lemon. The appearance was perfect of clear golden copper with white head that retains the whole way. Flavor was predominantly hops with hints of malt, yeast and lemon. Palate was great, nice warm mouthfeel, balanced carbonation and slightly bitter aftertaste. Once again, great attributes but was hoping maybe for more complexity.
