DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA Jul 20, 2009 Bottled.. Best By 07/07/09...Pours a cloudy orange with a thin white ring head..Aroma is caramel and a little citrus as is the flavor but with really no hop presence besides a slight bitterness.. No carbonation. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jul 17, 2009 Pours a golden yellow with a thin layer of foam and some lacing. Aroma is malty & floral. Tastes delightfully peppery, boozy and hoppy, but the hops are unexpectedly... savory? Northern brewer, is that you? Not really sure what to make of this one. Decent carb and thin body. Sheer bitterness makes up for the unpleasant-ish hop character, but I’m still not completely sold. HOPSHUNTER (376), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 16, 2009 Bottle, Batch 207 02/02/10. Poured a hazy golden color with a tall white head. Aroma is toffee malt, caramel, wood and mild earthy hops. Medium mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Flavor is very sweet and malty, to me it lacks the strong hop presence required in an DIPA or an IPA for that matter. Lots of toffee and wood notes. Finishes with strong alcohol notes. Not great. JHunter (242), British Columbia, Canada Jul 12, 2009 pour a amber colour with a white head and nice buttery aroma. taste of hops and little waterdown at first on tha palate gnoff (3559), Göteborg, Sweden Jul 12, 2009 Draught at Ølbaren, on July 11, 2009 Clear golden color, dense tan head. Cheese scent, mostly "grønmøgelost". Hoppy and cheese taste. Long lasting bitterness and cheese aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, high bitterness. Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jul 11, 2009 Updated: Jul 14, 200922 oz bottle -- Amber with a slight haziness, but no activity. The head is somewhat watery, yet stands. The aroma is kinda soapy, almost buttery. The flavor is thick with piney hoppiness, the mouthfeel a bit syrupy. Very drinkable, particularly for 9%. (#3601, 11 July 2009) Adenila (931), Denmark Jul 11, 2009 Dark golden look with a white head leaving lazings. Sweet fruity pineapple aroma and loads of citrus. Medium body adn a heavy bitter finish. pintbypint (1002), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jul 11, 2009 660ml brown bottle. Brassy/orangey/gold colour, really nice colouring. Head is comapct, creamy, light beige in colour, fades a bit too quickly. Fruit in the nose, soft citus character - light oranges. Hops are up front, orangey notes, some light malts, some sweetness. Finishes with grapefruit tones, mild alcohol is perceptable. Mid level bitteness. Has a medium smooth body, mild carbonation. Drinks like a lesser strength ale, enjoyable.
