May 4, 2008 (12oz bottle) Crystal clear light amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some straw, caramel, light grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine, grassy, some caramel, somewhat astringent. Light-medium body with a little bit of alcohol sneaking through. Not "miserable" by any means, but certainly subpar.

Feb 13, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear orangish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of rotting vegetables, earthy, and a little spicy. I just couldn’t get past that vegetable
part. Tastes of earthiness, spicy, and light caramel.

Jan 24, 2008 Bottle… Clear, deep yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. The floral, fruity nose releases tantalizing notes of rose petals, tropical fruit, white pepper and maybe just a hint of bell pepper. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Leans on the bitter side of balance with modest, pale grain sweetness and moderate to medium spicy bitterness. A touch meaty. Crisp, moderately bitter, Novocain-like/tongue numbing finish.Cheers to cheapdark for providing the bottle!

Feb 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours medium coppery with 1-finger uniform white head. Aroma was bready caramel malt, hops, some tropical fruit, mild honey, and mild funk. The taste was crisp, caramel malty, with some peppery and mango notes. I didn’t get some of the off flavors and aromas that others got with this. Not great, but I think better than the ratings might indicate. I’ll rerate ASAP to get a better handle on this one.
