| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Growler from brewery: Thanks to the brewer who sold me some beer even though I wasn’t there during their growler hours!! This one pours a hazy orangish color. There was a fair amount of a beige head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is decent: plenty of hops to the nose. Mainly piney, but some earthy notes also. The taste is also quite good. A nice medium body, with lots of pine and grapefruit hop flavors. Given the taste and aroma I expected this to be more bitter, but it is very drinkable. Quite nice.

The aroma was strong sweet fruity hops with a light peppery undertone. The flavor was strong sweet fruity hops, tangy malts and hints of caramel and nut. The finish was long, tangy, sweet and full of fruity hops. Not very bitter despite the impressive hop presence. Fairly full bodied. Very nice. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

I was very fond of it. it is dark hoppy refreshing and a bit course and ballsy. it is aromatic as it should be. pine cone ? yes but mostly grapefruit and even the rind it was enjoyale from the tap with the fine fare available at Rolands Iron gate in Pittsburgh pa. some sweet and seemingly aged malt flavor gave an interesting extra dimension. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
