BeerFanDan17 (397), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA May 15, 2008 A very tasty ale. Flavors are fresh and crips almost like a marzen in style. Nice balance of hops and very light fruit. Pours golden with a frothy white head.
tomciccateri (463), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Oct 5, 2008 12-ounce brown bottle in Albuquerque. Amber color, creamy white head and lace. Intense hoppy aroma. Medium body, pronounced hop flavor and bitterness. Subtle malt flavor, late alcohol notes. Even dry/sweet flavor balance. Not well-balanced, but likely to appeal to hop-heads.
SynergyXJ (405), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle, #404 Hazy golden pour with small head. Light floral hop aroma. Great hoppy flavor too. Good brew overall. brigg (139), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Oct 3, 2008 (bottle) Hazy orange body and medium off-white head with peaks and lacing. Wonderfully floral, fruity and hoppy aroma - sweet, fresh grapefruit. Light bodied, and tingly carbonation. Flavor is sweet, but dries up somewhat on the way back. Lots of fruit, some caramel. CelticBrew (496), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Oct 2, 2008 Poured a light amber hue, forming decent eggshell white foamy head. Aroma of pine resins, passion fruit and grapefruit; very oily and fresh; lacks a bit of density. The flavour however is smoother and more refreshing than I was expecting for a "cold hop" type beer. Flavors of orange juice, pine needles and a bit of a toffee earthiness lead off, smoothing it to a dry, perhaps somewhat one-dimensional finish. I mean, it was ok to drink, had a bit of character, but in the end it was slightly dull. KieferUGA (351), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Hazy, light amber color. Large, frothy, off white head. Malty aroma. Sweet flavor with a dash of earthy hops. Metallic taste at the end.
