Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden orange with thin white head and a skunky aroma. Taste is piney, grapefruit hops with an over bitter finish. Not really something I would drink again.

Aug 12, 2008 To second StFun, the aroma is bad. I kept thinking, maybe it is just a skunk - but after a while I thought that was wrong too. Pours a nice cloudy yellow/orange color. Looks good, smells bad, tastes bad. Not at all in line with great IPAs. Very very bitter, almost undrinkable.

Aug 11, 2008 Oh man, I wanted to like this one badly, but honestly couldn’t get past the aroma. It smelled like dry cat piss or similar. No joke. I held my nose and took a drink, and didn’t mind the flavor (I actually liked the bitterness and piney hop taste) but, every time I caught a wiff of this one, I wanted to gag. Highland makes some really solid brews, and I loved the name of this one, but damn that stench!!

Aug 5, 2008 [1329-20080508] 12floz bottle. Pine needle aroma on a bed of grass hops. Cloudy, orange brown body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head and small bubbles around the edges. Dull grassy pine resin flavour. Medium body is a little bitter. Drinkable, nice bitterness.

Aug 4, 2008 Poured a clear gold color with a huge white head. Ton of carbonation. Aroma is very hoppy. Grassy/Floral hops dominate the nose. Flavor is more malty than I has expected based on the aroma. Ok beer, but could use a better hop/malt balance.
