Feb 2, 2005 Hazy red-brown body with a spectacular thick, rocky long-lasting tan head. Fresh citrusy hop aroma with pine sap and sticky caramel accents. I was hoping for some rye in the aroma but no luck. Thick resinous hops coat the tongue with roasty, spicy rye notes on top. Caramel backbone throughout. I’d like to age this stuff, the hop bite is pretty sharp, but maybe the malt isn’t big enough to come forward. Regardless, this stuff is damn tasty.

Aug 25, 2005 GTM. Smells like a pale ale or an IPA. Floral, hoppy. Nice amber color. A really solid brew. Really nice flavor. Hoppy, with malt. As the commercial description states, "impressively balanced." Hard to describe the individual elements.

Jul 1, 2007 Bottle from Eithcubes - Thanks! Pours a hazy deep amber with a large, creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Aromatic of citrus and pine, some maltiness present. Taste is deep and resinlike, mostly piney hops with a dry citrus tail. Doesn’t have the sweet malt backbone like IPA’s with this type of hops presence. A little caramel malt is detectable. Very pleasant and easily drinkable.

Jun 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 24, 2009Draft at Earth Bread and Brewery in Philly. Pours orange amber with an off white head. Huge piny floral hop aroma with some sweeter malt in the background. The flavor follows with more piny and floral hops, with some lighter notes of sweet malts, citrus, spices and maybe a hint of rye. Awesome.

Jun 29, 2006 Bottle from Tom (oldgrowth) Thanks! Pours out a nice red color with a small head that sticks to the glass as it disappears. Smells hoppy, sweet, and fruity. Taste is malty at first, and rich and powerful. Very smooth, incredibly smooth actually. A nice little hop kick, but nothing outrageous, and it doesnt linger. Finish is dry, and refreshing. I could drink multiple bottles of this with potentially devistating results. Very nice brew.

Jun 26, 2005 Pours a five-finger light tan head that fades quickly leaving a good lace. Clear red/amber color. Hoppy/malty nose. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Starts hoppy and the hops dominate leaving a lingering bitter aftertaste. Expecting something a little more mellow. $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, Ma.
