Jun 13, 2008 From the 750ml bottle this pours a clear yellow/gold body with much bubbling and a substantial, creamy head. The aroma has buttery sweetmalts, a touch of orchard fruit, and hop scents of flowers, grapefruit, pine, and earth. The hoppy bitterness dominates the flavor, which is dandy for this hop-head, the malty sweetness just strong enough to support it. More pine and citrus zest in the flavor. It finishes on a dry bitter note, quited prolonged and satisfying. Very nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Liquors, Porter, IN<font size=-1>

Aug 27, 2008 Weak looking pour with a thin, somewhat wispy head of white bubbles. Lightly hazed light cider appearance. Some citric cedar scents. A touch of malt in the backdrop that reminds me of golden promise. Big citric start with a mix of pulp, pith and zest. Flavors of very light caramel and then a bit of cedar kick in. A bit lifeless and cloying in feel, but the zest help clean things up a touch. Some fruit, including pear and apricot in the middle. Finish has a light citric kick, in a key lime kind of way. I’m not catching the 9%. For me it lacks some depth and is much to citric in flavor without the bitterness to pull it out.

Jul 23, 2008 Wow, there’s a big RSD with this one, and I dare say it is way under-appreciated. Pours turbid canary gold with 2-finger white head. Nose is floral hops, rock sugary malt, mild honey, apricot, and yeasty funk. Tastes dry, floral, very hoppy, with a Belgian IPA feel to it. Tropical fruit and funky notes are also in the flavor, with the floral hops and rock sugar maintaining a good balance. It waters out a bit late, but that’s a minor beef.
