May 11, 2008 Golden, slightly hazy. Really spicy hop nose - beauty. Light wood and a rounded hop character, with more spices and a pomegranate hop note. I revisited this a couple of times over the CBC cause it was damn fine.

May 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to wetherell. Aroma is cara/toffee malts, grapefruity, very fruity and citrus, similar to bigfoot actually. Taste is similar, however finish perhaps finishes a bit quickly for me.

May 8, 2008 Tap @ O’Brien’s. Pours orange-gold with a short white head. Strong in the pine and citrus aromas, with a lot of grapefruit. Sweet up front with caramel that gives the grapefruit, oranges, mango flavors a sugary coating. Good, resiny finish. Loved it.

May 5, 2008 Bottle from deftim13. Thanks man! Gold colored brew pours with a nice foamy head and great sticky lacing. Very fruity aroma with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, lemon, orange, and pine. Pretty nice. The flavor is also very fruity. Extremely hoppy, but not over the top. Great balancing pale and caramel malts create softer sweet fruit that accompanies the grapefruit, orange, tropical fruits, and pine. Finishes with some nice lingering dryness and resins. Good stuff.

May 4, 2008 On draft at SD BrewCo during CDC week - thanks Dean! Arrives slightly hazed, amber color with a small white, foamy head. Juicy citrus fruit in the aroma, pine, alfalfa notes, light toasty malts. Delicious crisp and fresh hop flavor, grapefruit and evergreen, more of the toasty malts - a hop bomb but still nicely balanced. Medium body and smooth carbonation.

May 4, 2008 bottle @ the Lost Abbey 2nd Anniversary party, thanks Damien! Poured a slightly hazed pale yellow, awesome lacing. Lots of pine and fresh citrus on the nose. A very balanced finish with light bitterness.

May 2, 2008 On tap @ Downtown Johnny Brown’s in San Diego, CA--Bright amber-copper body. Silky, fluffy, rocky white head. Fruity, tropical nose. Creamy, soft mouthfeel. Subtle fragrant hop complexities. Obviously quite hopped and malty, but well constructed. This beer is the shit!
