Sweet very hoppy (like hop sirup) flavour witha very nice bitterness, pine, ripe fruits, little chocolate, spice (liquorice) and caramel. Long lasting very bitter sweet hoppy malty finish. Thanks Pinbal for sharing this one. MAP (1085), Lakewood, Ohio, USA Jul 23, 2009 Thick reddish amber color with a decent sized head on top. The aroma is the what I like in a beer with too much hops for our own good. Hints of citrus (lemon lime, pineapple) floral notes and pine. The flavor has a good deal of maltiness to keep it somewhat balanced, but still, thats a whole lotta hops. It makes the sides of my jaw cringe at first, but does in fact leave my mouth with some warmth and robust malt flavor. Such a good brew. This rating is taken from when it was only listed as one. I had rated this then the summer in the same listing. Re-Rate of summer to follow. AndreasJaeger (101), Helsingborg, Sweden Jul 23, 2009 Bottle @ Dahlbergs. Goldcolor with a big white head.
