Derek881 (489), Frederick, Maryland, USA Dec 16, 2007 Sampled at the brewery in a pint glass. This beer was a clear, amber-orange color with a foamy white head. The aroma was sweet and hoppy with a good, crisp scent. Tasted sweet initially but became more bitter as it settled. A mostly dry and fizzy body, with a thinner, crisp finish. The hops were well done, not too overpowering. A pretty well-put-together beer, good characteristics. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 21, 2007 Was this beer brewed with flowers? Holy crap! The aroma was very floral. That’s right, not floral hops but floral. Pour was nice deep amber with a gerenous 2 finger off white head. Taste was nice. NIce caramel malt but very subdued. The hops that come in on the aftertaste are very overpowering and take over the whole experience. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Sep 3, 2007 On cask at the CBW. Hazy honey orange, creamy off white head. Aroma is tangerine, kiwi, malt. Flavor is meaty, tangy, and citrus hoppy. The cask works well with this beer. cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2007 Updated: Jan 1, 2008This was served from a cask. Unfiltered and cloudy. Almost looks like a dunkel weizen. Off yellow and almost brown in appearance. Aroma is mild perfumy hops. At room temp, this stuff is fairly hoppy but not quite as hoppy as expected. Almost like an IPA but never quite gets there. Quite flat as with most cask served beers. Has the impression of chewing on some green grapefruit rinds. Overall a little more hoppy than my girlie taste buds can enjoy. Typical APA and leaves a slight bitterness on the palate after the finish. shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 21, 2007 Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty, citrus and piney hops. Flavor is malty, caramel with a light bitter piney finish.
