Dec 11, 2003 Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego
The pour an unclouded golden amber color with a medium sized head that is spumous in texture and the color a bright white and the resultant lace a velum like curtain to conceal the glass. Nose has strong malt sweetness, light hop floral tone, crisp, clean and fresh to the senses with the start rich in malt, sweet and the top moderate in feel. Finish has a prickly acidity and the hops purposeful in their bite, very dry and lingering aftertaste, quite a good beer, and bear Republic a long time favorite brewery.

Apr 1, 2004 Having tried two "high-end" malts in 2 days (the other being pizza ports brown bag malt) I have to say this is second to pizza port's as far as malts go. Pours a vibrant gold color with a nice creamy off-white head. Aroma is very mild with some cookie notes. Flavor is almost too sweet with some candy notes evident. Body is extremely syrupy. I'd have to say this reminded me more of a malt liquor than did pizza ports version, so I guess it's closer to style but not quite as good of beer overall. But not bad either.

Feb 14, 2004 Draft at brewpub. Medium gold. Oddly hoppy aroma, almost like straight hop pellets. Tast is also one of pure hops, with an almost greenish quality. But it isn't bitter, thanks to the sugar addition. Unique beer. When this gets enough samples, it will undoubtedly be the number 1 malt liquor on the site.

Jun 10, 2004 tap@brewery. not sure why they’d name a beer after an australian radio station. piney aroma, a pretty hefty kero burn in the finish which reminded me of the time i drank some lamp oil that i was told was lemongrass liqueur. despite those bad memories i enjoyed it

Apr 3, 2004 This malt liquor pours with a deep golden body topped by a thin head with little lacing. The aroma is sweet and hoppy with slight malty notes and a nice grapefruit note. The flavor is slightly sweet, grapefruity and hoppy with piney notes and a sweet maltiness. Medium to full boddied, smooth and slighlty dry.

Dec 11, 2003 Medium gold color. Small head. Aroma is malty and sweet. A medium bodied malt liquor. Malts are slightly sweet, with a noticeable touch of corn sugar. Hops (Yes HOPS!) are grapefruity and slightly juicy. Nicely balanced. No alcohol bite. Very smooth taste. A nice malt liquor. Way to go Bear Republic! Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
