Apr 4, 2005 04.04.05 Bomber bottle. Dingy copper pour, glowing, foamy. Huge aromas of grapefruit, pine, floral. If pine trees grew flowers that turned into grapefruits, they’d smell like this. Pretty darn hopped up front to back, numbingly so. Balance be damned but there is a solid underlying maltiness, not too sweet, not too thick to verge on barley wine. It’s good. Finishes with a twinge of alcohol, and a touch savory(?).

Dec 5, 2004 Bottle thanks to argo0: Slightly hazy amber color with a small tan head. Aroma: hops, lots of hops, grapefruit, grass, pine. Taste: hops, spices, berries, grass, caramel, tea, soap. Finishes with tea-like hops, and dry. Very nice.

Mar 2, 2005 I loved this beer. Citrusy and malty and hoppy - all integrated aromas and flavours that linger with a great balanced bitterness. Not nearly as uncalled for as some of the Imperial IPAs being foisted on us - this was a truly wonderful beer.

Nov 22, 2006 This is a very good beer that I very much enojoyed. Tons of hops in the beer, almost a hit of earthiness. Yeah a strong malt body to it, not thin at all. I would highly recommend this beer

Dec 17, 2004 Rating #50. Deep mahogany in body with a persistent, tan head. Aroma is of hops and citrus. This begins rather fruity, then fades into awesome hoppiness. It really dances through the mouth beautifully.

Dec 1, 2005 05 Botttle. Thanks Santa! The color is a beautiful deep cooper with a big off-white head. The aroma is dominated by piney, citrusy hops with enough malt background to balance. The flavor is a great balance of hops, malt, and alcohol with a lingering bitter finish. Caramel, pine, apricot, and pineapple flavors all pop up. A very good beer.

Feb 13, 2005 Bottled. Pours a deep dark golden, with a dense white head sitting on top. The strips of lace left on my glass are just amazing. Aroma is just a hopheads dream, perfumey/fruity, fresh (you know that fresh hop flavor that makes you want to drink a good hoppy beer all day), citrus, little bit of spice. It takes one sip and your hooked on this stuff. Just excellent. Mouth feel is very round and full, sticky and totally mouth saturating. The hoppy resin goodness seeps into every taste bud, leaving a long lasting after taste. Very rich, sweet, and delicious beer. Too bad its not available year around. "Liquid Gold"

Aug 10, 2005 Bottle 22 oz. Dark amber color wiyh a medium head that diminished slowly. Good hoppy citrus aroma. Medium to full body with complex dry texture. Full flavor of malt, citrus and a long hoppy alcohol finish. Another AleSmith masterpiece.
