Jun 12, 2008 Since the hops take a backseat to the sweet (and very drinkable) alcohol I wouldn’t say this was the ’Holy Grail’. However this beer was delicious and will quickly put you in a good mood.

Jun 11, 2008 Love the aroma and the color. For the hoppy description of the brewing it really didn’t deliver the bite I was expecting. It was a little syrupier (add that to websters) than I’m used to on the palate, but the flavor was very complex with plenty of fruits to find. It grew on me as I drank it more and more. Hope that wasn’t just the 21% clouding my judgement.

Jun 8, 2008 Not a big hop head, but of course I had to try this ’legendary’ beer, so this sampling was an ’08 vintage. It’s a lot more drinkable than I would have thought as well.
Nice orange/bronze collar with an off-white head. Was surprised how sweet this beer could be, and very little alcohol tase for being 20%+ abv. Not a fan of the aftertaste, which sneaks up and burns somewhat though.
It’s one of those beers that I enjoy, but only a few times a year. But overall, very impressed.

Jun 8, 2008 Pours hazy amber orange with a nice white head. Aromas hit you with notes of grapefruit, caramel and bubblegum. Has a strong grapefruit/bubblegum/pear taste to it. Finish is very bittersweet with acidic burning pear notes. Really enjoyed this, would drink again.

Jun 6, 2008 Good hop aroma. Very obviously american hop varieties. Pours a thick head, which quickly collapses down to a MM thick foam layer. Very cloudy brown. Bottle had been sitting in the fridge for months, and left a layer of muck in the bottle, but its still got cloudy charactor. Alcohol very present (better damn be at 21%!!), yet a very malty-raisiny flavor when you first start sipping it. Quick warmth along back of throat after drinking. Hops in the aftertaste lingering on the palate for quite some time. A trully amazing experience! Just consumed my only bottle, but friend is visiting Maryland so will have him grab another bottle while he’s there! I enjoy EKU 28, with all its maltyness, but this is even better with all the bops that balance that malt out. A real winner!!!
