Clear amber. Lacy white head. Aroma is piney some sweet caramel. Flavor is ok but kind of dull when compared to some of the fresh hop ales that I have had. Medium bitter lightish palate.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear, golden liquid with a fairly large, off-white head. Aroma is fresh and fruity with a nice hop character and a tiny malt sweetness. Taste is a bit sweet with some hop fruitiness and a rather sharp bitterness. Fresh and very drinkable.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle.
Fluid was amber with a very large and thick foam.
An inviting and fresh aroma of hops, citrus, grass and fruits.
The taste was quite bitter, grapefruit, toffee, grass and fruit. Dry and easy to drink. Good beer, but maybe not that exciting in the long run. Not a complex beer but refreshing.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle: Pours amber with a large sandy head. Tons of sticky lacing. Thick aroma of citrus and grapefruit with light fruity sweetness. Really a delicious smell. Taste isn’t nearly as hoppy... comes out with light citrus, florals, and a bready maltiness. Cuts into the hop profile quite a bit. High hopes at first sniff, but ends up coming in right around average.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle from Bierkoning. Nice glowing amber body with lasting, frothy head. Intense but inviting hoppy nose. Very hoppy taste with notes of wheat, orange, pine and citrus. More hops and hops in the finish. Slightly watery and spicier towards the end. Delectable!
