Jan 16, 2009 750 ml bottle sampled at Grand River Brewery. Pours dark amber, bottle contained lots of yeasty sediment. Flavour of alchohol and very hoppy. Aroma of hops and a bit sweet.

Jan 14, 2009 Updated: Jan 15, 2009bomber from south bay drugs poured into a tulip pint. pours a beautiful ruby amber with a one inch soap bubble head and great lacing. aroma simply fantastic. huge, fresh, spicy hops, grapefruit, pine, a touch of malt sweetness, and maybe even some cherry. flavor is nothing short of delicious. big hop bitterness up front with a spicy note that instantly warms the mouth. citrus flavors of orange zest and grapefruit come through with a great balance of roasty, caramel malt and a long lasting bitterness. palate is wonderfully smooth and nicely carbonated with a great warming alcohol presence. honestly, a near perfect winter ale.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottled, brought from City Beer, SF. Clear amber color, short off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, big hop, some malt. As in all alesmiths again a perfect balance of big hop, pine and grapefruit on a malty background. Strong and tasty, but also quite soft. Great stuff.

Jan 10, 2009 22 oz. bomber. Poured deep crimson with an egg-white head. Solid lacing. Smells like a fresh cut christmas tree. Very complex flavor with resinous pines, juicy citrus fruits and even some cherries. Sweet and malty with great balance. Not overly tongue stripping. Dangerously drinkable. Delicious!
