Dec 12, 2006 Tap: Amber, nice head and lacing. Nose of bright citrusy hops, clean and earthy, light pine, nice hoppy flavor, balanced and full bodied. Ends a bit brash but it’s a sweet and bitter bash. Nice.

Pours a foggy orange brown with a heavy carbonation that leaves a thick tan head that is frothy like whipped cream. The aroma is strong citrus hops, caramel, plums, pitted overipened fruit. the taste is strong bitter rind citrus upfront juicy and strong. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, again highly carbonated loaded with delicious bitter spicy hops. This is a great beer fantastic and hopalicious.

Dec 9, 2006 Hoppy aroma with some floral aspects. The beer pours out a deep golden brown color with a medium tan head. The palate is very full and coats your mouth. Tons of big hop flavor right up front gives way to a huge malt bill.

Dec 6, 2006 Deilcious beer. Rather sweet, but with the necessary amont of hoppyness to create an unbelieveably balanced package. This beer is highly recommended.

Dec 3, 2006 22 oz bottle courtesy of Craig. Pours a golden coppery color with a thick foamy beige head. Aroma is west coast piney with hints of sweet malt and plenty of hops. Taste is piney sweet with butterscotch and floral overtones and a hint of sweet malt. Excellent overall and nearly identical to the Alesmith Yulesmith Winter IPA.

Dec 3, 2006 Bright copper amber ale, medium white head. (4- )
Lovely strong hoppy nose. Powerful, sure but this is clean work. Sweet malts do balance this act. Light woody touches and brown malts followed. (7+)
Initial cookie dough, aromatic, spice, vanilla. Then fruity short lasting hop touch, citric orange peel follows. Warming ale that is not shy to be bold.

Dec 2, 2006 Thanks to footbalm for the bottle. Apricot orange in color with small lacing type head. Smells citrusy like oranges, melons, and apricots. Nice firm body with a smooth mouthful. The flavor was a citus hop explosion that lingers. As this beer warms alcohol is detected, but it’s minimal. Well balanced and lush, this is a wonderful brew.
