Sep 5, 2008 I was surprised to see this pulled out from behind the counter at Trinity hall. Pours a reddish amber color with a small light brown colored head. NOse is intense hops, grass, citrus, and toasted malt. Taste is sweet, woody, toasted, and has a nice hop punch and pronounced bitterness. Just a very solid beer.

Sep 4, 2008 Almost a 2 inch high head of varying sized bubbles off-white in color. Excellent carbonation creeping up the side of the glass. Strong resinous hops aroma with some grapefruit and caramel. Color is a dark orange with a feint haze to it. This brew looks fantastic sitting in my Tripel Karmeliet glass. Fit the entire 22oz in there. NICE!!! Hoppy flavor with a decent bitterness. More grapefruit and resin. Lighter malt presence than expected with some more caramel and a bit of spices. Dry and a little astringent on the palate. Rather strong alcohol presence and kick at the finish that it very nasaly. Finishes warm and bitter. Lots of lingering hops presence. A damn fine ASA. Very much enjoyed this one.

Sep 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Poured light amber with a big creamy off-white head. Aroma of heavy hops and a touch of iris. A bit sweeter than expected, tastes of apple, caramel and malt, and hoppy in the finish. A very nice Avery offering, as usual.

Sep 4, 2008 A one dimensional citrus hop bomb. Nice aroma and looked nice enough, but I found it very medicinal.

Sep 3, 2008 Sample at the Day Before Labor Day party. This beer is a clear and bright reddish-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of toasted malt, floral hops and citrus. Medium-bodied with a piney/floral hops character and flavors of malt, nuts and citrus. The finish is hoppy and leaves a lingering citrus aftertaste. Aside from a little astringency here and there this is an enjoyable beer overall.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s Lincoln Park, Chicago. Clear light amber with large white, creamy head and lots of lacing. Aromal is sweet and floral hops with grapefruit. Nice slight pine bitterness but mostly grapefruit and citrus that is pretty sweet but not cloying. Medium to full, creamy body. All around very nice.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours an opaque light copper, white top, nice pattern on the glass. The hops are just delicious, citrusy pine, with a long luxurious finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Rich on the palate. Well balanced with a little caramel if you go looking for it. Another great beer from Avery.
