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>

Mar 1, 2008 Golden, slightly hazy with a medium and creamy head. The aroma has nice fruity, citrussy hoppy notes with hints of spruce. The flavour is nice and fruity with notes of citrus, pine needle, loads of caramel and a light sweetness. The finish has bitterness, citrus, pine and towards the end it’s quite dry too. It’s not as bitter as many of the US specimens, but very tasty anyhow.

Aroma - Very piney hops start off, some woody and grassy aromas follow, with some citrus fruit as well
Appearance - Clear yellow gold pour, fleeting, foamy, white head.
Flavor - Pleasing caramel and toffee flavors combine with some fruitiness to bring out the sweetness. A soft, gentle bitterness rouonds things out. Nice balance.
Palate - Medium body, light carbonation, pleasingly dry in a medium/long finish.
Overall - A unique character compared to its American counterparts, but smooth, pleasing, and drinkable. Seems underappreciated to me.
