Carmel malts are well balanced with floral, earthy hops. Clear deep golden body is topped by a decent and long lasting, fine bubbled white head that recedes to cover and coats the glass with lacing. Very strong bitterness yet it does not overwhelm the grainy and caramel malt character. Medium light body with pointy effervescence that engages the tongue. Very enjoyable. Sampled on cask at Dix Xmas Extreme Beer festival 2007.

Feb 22, 2008 Enjoyed at the downtown brewpub.The Seasonal with high IBU by the brewmaster, the hops continuously come at you and it feels more bitter later on, its the right carbonation. Medium bodied with amber tinge to its yellow and lace. You can smell the hops.

Jan 22, 2008 Hazy light amber colour with nice retaining head. Aroma was piney and citrus with nice bready malts. Starts off with a nice smooth bittering flavour well backed with adequate malt character. Finishes with a medium hop bite. Well made and effective.
