Aug 30, 2007 650 ml bottle
8.0% ABV
I tried this beer on August 30, 2007 at the ’Beer Bistro’ in Toronto. The price is not a mis-print, I really did pay $20.00 for a beer. The beer poured a muddy brown into the glass with a small tan head that lasted throughout. The aroma was very hoppy...VERY hoppy with some perfumy and floral scents. Almost bubble-bath like. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with some mild carbonation. The flavour was hoppy and very spicy with some lingering bitterness.

Aug 29, 2007 Deep amber pour, looks nice and thick, under a low head that settles a bit soapy. Pure grapefruit aroma. Nice. ABV well-hidden... almost TOO well. Hops are not overdone yet they are certainly sincere in their presence. Fully sessionable for a higher-alcohol beer. Dangerous. They had just put this one on halfway through our lunch, and boy was I happy.

Aug 26, 2007 Bottle shared by SpringsLicker with myself, Suttree, and decaturstevo. Pours cloudy rust color with ivory head. The aroma is toast and grapefruit with a few piney notes and a touch of grass. Flavor is peanut shells, some charred caramel, and a lot of hop bitterness. Dry aftertaste. Ok.

Aug 26, 2007 Some say that a beer is hop juice like thats some sort of insult. When I say this is hop juice, I mean that in a complimentary way Big hop aroma, big hop flavor, very resiny and piney. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing

Aug 24, 2007 Updated: Sep 21, 2007Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a thick long lasting white head. The aroma is citrus, hoppy and caramel. The taste is caramel and malty with just a touch of hops. It was strong and sticky on the palate.

Aug 20, 2007 Beautiful floral hop nose with underlying citrus and resiny pine. Definitely hop focussed but underlying toasty malt sweetness is apparent. Clear amber coloured body is topped by a decent off white head that leaves some sudsy lace. Very strong bitterness overshadows the flavour and malt profile does not do enough to support leaving it feeling a bit harsh. Very dry and somewhat astringent light medium body with prickly carbonation. Bottle sampled with Altair, beerbuzzmontreal, Cathschlag, Glouglouburp, Goldorak, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Yowie.
