Aug 21, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper orange with a spotty-lacing clingy white head. Aroma of fresh resiny piny hops and sweet caramel malt. Body starts with a nice fullness and carbonation throughout with sticky juicy grapefruity bittering and flavor hops before a drier, bittersweet finish. Smooth and well-balanced. A nice brew that I hope they add to their regular lineup.

Aug 20, 2008 Bold, yet balanced. This had a large amount of hops with equal amounts of malt. Not too bitter, not too sweet. Beautiful head, beautiful lace. Beautiful aroma. I hope we don’t have to wait four more years for the next batch!

Aug 20, 2008 bottle: pours a geourgous giant white head atop an amber coloured body, good lacing. aroma is a pine hop that blends into a thick smelling sweet malt, a touch of grapefruit hops in the end also. falvour is a big sticky bitter hop and sweet caramel malt, the finsih is more bitter hops a bit much for me.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle pours amber color with a off white head. This has a wonderful aroma. Upfront aroma is strong malt/alcohol with a strong pine scent that lingers. The carbonation stings and has a medium body. Taste is very high alcohol and strong malt flavor with a strong punch of hops. Pine flavors abound with a biting dimensional hop flavor that hangs around for a while. Overall this is a very tasty brew. Oh yeah, they can stuff their polictal views where the sun don’t shine.
