Apr 11, 2006 Pours a lightly hazy copper orange with a thin wispy off-white head. Dry peppery bittersweet aroma has some citrusy hoppy presence. Body starts with some dry earthy maltiness turning to a very bitter peppery finish with some alcoholic notes. Doesn’t have enough balance and complexity. Needs more flavor hops and less bittering ones.

Dec 4, 2005 Bottle... A&K’s4thAHBT... Clear, golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Citrusy, piney aroma with lots of grapefruit and a little toffee. Well-balanced, but a touch bland. Full-bodied and silky with medium carbonation. Finishes medium bitter and grassy.

Jan 24, 2006 This one pours deep copper with aroma of caramel malt, big hops, citrus and tropical fruit. The hopcitric elements overshadow the tropical fruit elements, but I was impressed by the balance and intensity of this one. In another life, this one could indeed be called an IIPA. However you choose to categorize it, it is very good.

Dec 3, 2005 Bottle (thanks Wilkie): A nice clean coppery hue with a small head and some lace. The aroma has notes piney and grapefruit hops, light caramel, pepper and dusty yeast esters. The flavor starts with a nice sharp citric twang and with smooth spice kick. Bready layer of sweetness underneath. The feel is smooth yet a nice bite, a bit thin in the body. Kudo for producing a nice easy drinking barleywine.

Feb 19, 2006 Thanks to Styles for this one. Poured a clear orange-copper color and leaving an "oily film" when swirled. Aroma is sweet and malty with some alcohol and over ripe peaches. Flavor starts sweet and fruity but stops abruptly. Dry bitter finish. Nice warming sensation. Medium to full body.
