Oct 21, 2009 12 oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Batch 8369 marked on the bottle, meaning this was bottled on April 4, 2008. Pour is orange amber with a smallish off white head. Aroma of caramel sweet maltiness, light oxidation, mild fruit sweetness and some alcohol. Taste is malty sweet, citrus peel bitter, some pepper and cardboard oxidation. Palate is medium, drying and some heat in the finish. This was certainly past its prime, but still pretty interesting.

Sep 23, 2009 Updated: Oct 28, 2009The Dan Journal #272. Tasted 7/11/09. 12oz bottle. Batch K8369. Hazy with an orange hue and mild sediment. Bubbled ring of off-white head. Orange citrus aromas. Sweet hops, mild candy sugar and a touch caramel also pop up in the olfactory. Medium bodied with a bright palate. Even at this age. Tart body with flavors of pine. Sticky and dry with a staunch bitterness in the finish. Trace noticeable burn. Impactful.

Sep 22, 2009 Way better fresh. Should not have aged this for the last year. Review based on fresh. Aroma is juicy, lots of hops and some caramel malts. Flavor is great, clean hoppy, refreshing. Hides that abv really well. Well balanced sweetness, a bit oily and slick. Nice.

Sep 19, 2009 ( 12oz bottle thanks to dukefan, batch K8369) Pours orange, nice oily head, nose acrid citrusy hops, the taste is extremely better for me and lingers badly. It’s quite oily which I like, but not balanced well for me.
