Aug 21, 2008 Nice golden-copper pour with off-white head. Aroma is sweet and citrusy with tons of bitterness smoothed over with caramel malt and honey. Some light fruitiness in there as well, maybe cherry and peach, and a slight alcohol astringency. I have an inkling that the hoppiness would be damn near overpowering were it not for the abundance of honey, which brings out some sweet fruitiness and light herbal tea undertones without sacrificing the huge pine and citrus hops. Finish just lasts and lasts; you can taste it on your tongue for minutes after your last sip. Outstanding.

does not count  Aug 21, 2008 This is for the hopheads. The little bite of honey makes it manageable when you consider the alcohol and serious hop flavor and aroma. I dig it.

Aug 14, 2008 The perfect beer. Never before has there been such a great balance of hops and malt. Neither dominate and the 10% ABV stays in the background making this the most sessionable non-session beer ever. Well done guys.

Aug 13, 2008 [1546-20080723] Bottle. Fresh juicy sweet navel orange peel aroma with a great hint of pine hops, reminds me of a bed of evergreen needles. Hazy, orange amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Full orange grainy hops flavour has notes of pine resin and bitter seeds, a boozy sweat finish and a long hoppy aftertaste. Medium-full body is boozy. In perfect shape, extremely enjoyable.
