Dec 21, 2009 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Vibrant amber, frothy white head, nice lacing, lively carbonation. Musty hop nose, a little citrus peel. Mild sweetness, a little bitter, but at 9.5% ABV it comes across as a lighter beer. Feeks like a 1 1/2 IPA. Needs more malt to balance it out. Clean, soft bitterness, but this needs some more malt sweetness and a bit bigger body. As is its a moderate body and mouthfeel. Lingering citrus rind and hop bitterness. Tiz okay, but its in need of more malts, sweetness, and a bigger body.

Big hop aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured and very hoppy with a pine fruit flavour. Crisp and creamy on the palate with a little dryness in a bitter malt finish.

Oct 19, 2009 From a growler shared by DuffManSW, thanks for sharing Sean. Rating #44. Very clear darkish gold pour with a very nice fat white head and real good lacing. Great hop aroma, a little sweet and citrusy. Flavor was a little sweet as well, more citrus and a slight fruitiness as well, not to mention a nice lingering dose of hops that lasted for awhile, very well done. Good stuff. (1029)

Oct 17, 2009 On tap @ Toronado SD. Clear golden with a small off-white head, low retention. Lots of overly sweet citrus, peach, and caramel in the nose. Flavor is much the same with too much sweetness. Bitterness peaks @ a 5 in the dry finish with just a little alcohol. Medium body with light prickly carbonation. The pint of Alpine Nelson rocked this 5 times more. In conclusion, I didn’t love this beer much.

Oct 11, 2009 Pours a clear amber with a solid off-white head. thick floral nose, quite perfumey, with maybe some orange blossom. Thick, syrupy mouth with flavors of orange blossom, flowers, and sweetness. I mean, it gets good flavors out of the ingrediants but its way too syrupy thick and sweet for my liking.

Oct 11, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Big, piny hoppy aroma. Some sweet malt too. Flavor is oily resin hops, big hop flavor. Mouthfeel was nice, thick, but not syrupy. Pretty impressed with this one.
