Dec 15, 2009 From a 500ml bottle into a pint glass. Pours with a ton of foamy white head which leaves lots of lacing. It has a beautiful golden hue to it. Smell is of stanky, skunky hops. Mouthfeel is sticky, sweet and medium bodied. Taste is very, very sweet with skunky hops predominating with a lot of honey and other sweetness. I’d like to have more carbonation to this. Overall, I wasn’t a big fan of it at all. WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY overrated in my opinion. Too sweet, not enough carbonation, too pricy and too much skunk to the hops. Sorry cap’n, time to let this one go down with the ship.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle from hbmason -- thanks Tim! Amber pour with a huge foamy white head. It’s real sweet, with honey, brown sugar, and bready malt. Not really a hop bomb, but balanced and sweet. Taste is malty, with caramel notes right off the bat, lots of grapefruit, and a bit of heat on the end that flows into piney, grassy hops. It’s smooth and slick, a bit resiny, and has some tingly carbonation.

Dec 4, 2009 50cl bottle picked up at Big Z beverage. Pours a completely clear golden amber with a frothy, lacing, white head. Surprise! The aroma is all hops, grapefruit, pine, soap, some candy sweetness, lemons, a little perfume. Flavor is mostly lemon/orange rind, pine, a touch of soap, some dry crackery malts are the backbone. Finish is all bitterness, a bit dry. Good, not great.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle from Cletus. Thanks man! Pours orange/yellow with a four finger clingy white head. Aromas of citrus/pine/floral. Fresh. Near full bodied with mildly creamy carbonation. Flavor is all those wonderful hops. Is there caramel? Who can tell. It’s a very hoppy, but not harsh, ale. S’wonderful.
