Beer_Hawk (759), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottle (Batch D8095). Poured a hazy copper with a creamy off-white head with some lasting and leaving lacing behind. Aroma of citrus hops and floral backed with a slight pine and malt background. Caramel malts in the flavor with an even mix of hops. Medium to full body that is sweet up front yet has moderate bitterness in the ending. Very nice.
Blaketj80 (12), Oklahoma, USA Oct 8, 2008 Looks great coming out of the bottle. Pours with a nice white head. It seems a bit over-carbonated. Tastes of prunes, but has decent alcohol balance. Not sweet, but gravity definitely smoothes the hops. Goodgrief (1055), Middletown, Delaware, USA Oct 8, 2008 Beer pours a beautiful orange amber color with fantastic head and lacing that looked almost computer animated silk bubble screen down the glass. Aroma of centennial hops. Light caramel malts, little sweetness and huge hop bitterness on the back end. Maybe a little thin. I don’t know, maybe it was just my mood, but it didn’t wow me even though the beer had no obvious flaws. riversideAK (1648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle from pepsican. Thanks man! Aromas of citrus, pine, and some floral hops. Pour is hazy amber with a fantastic head and sticky, sticky lacing. A great looking beer. Nice bitterness up front in the form of citrus and floral hops, a touch of caramel, but the hops are the focal point here with a nice sticky bitterness. Incredibly drinkable with a great hop profile. A delicious beer. badlizard (1525), San Diego, California, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle from Holiday. Cloudy dark yellow with a white fizzy head. Clean citrus and hops aroma. Good crisp citrus, lemon zest, and earthy caramel taste. Decent. SuzyGreenberg (1044), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 2, 2008 750 ml bottle - thanks to Sammy for the trade; pours dark orange with huge, off-white head; malty, lemony hop aromas; not sure where this is on the age scale, but come off as a very malty IIPA; mostly clear; sugary sweet and rich texture; bitter in the finish, but overall well muted with the sweetness; seems exactly like something else i’ve had before but can’t place it by reviewing my ratings; very nice
