Thanks to maniac for this one. Golden body with a white head. 2005 bottle. Great aroma, some light hops left, nice fruit accents. Taste isn’t too bad, light fruits, bread and a tang that I can’t place. Slightly warm ending.

Nice hoppy taste without being too bitter. This would make for a great junkfood and ballgame beer - not terribly interesting but real easy to drink.

A cloudy golden stong ale with a wee white head, a very hoppy bouquet, and a slightly bitter finish. This 2007 model was very pleasing, with a nice clean taste.

Bottle from 2006. Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Pine and citrus hops aroma. Well balanced, the malt and citrus hops are pretty equal. I actually thought it was sort of thin...maybe I should I took it out of the cellar before. Was still a good beer though.

Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma was of some spices and not much more. Flavor was also a bit spicey but mainly bland and not too much else to say.
