cryfreedmb (112), Ocean, New Jersey, USA Dec 8, 2007 Had a few of these tonight at an xmas party. Decent brew. Starts out matly ends with a nice bitterness. Probably wouldn’t buy again but a decent brew. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Dec 5, 2007 Bottle from my friend Brian. Pours amber red with some slight haze and a creamy off white head. Aroma of floral hops and european malts. Initial flavor of caramel and tea that transitions to a mild herbal hop middle. There is an off putting hairspray like flavor on the finish. Ok, but nothing worth revisiting. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 5, 2007 Thanks to Josh T. for this one. Poured a bronzed-copper body with a fluffy white top. Hoppy and biscuity nose with a unique herbal flavor. Otherwise an almost typical New England pale ale. Meatwad (26), New York, New York, USA Nov 28, 2007 Updated: Dec 5, 2007Amber color, very little head, not much taste. What taste it does have is from the hops. It does have a smooth finish and no aftertaste. It looks and smells good.
It’s basically bud light with some palate and hops taste added, but there are a ton of beers out there like that already. This is nothing special. jwdevalue (158), Neptune, New Jersey, USA Sep 29, 2007 This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again. Slipstream (734), USA Sep 24, 2007 Silly neon-like writing on the label. Dark brass color. Pleasant aroma of yeast, malt, and fresh vegetation. Fresh, yeasty taste with hints of flowers and spice. Fizzy but substantial on the palate - a good brew. phllybeer29 (20), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 20, 2007 Bottle. This beer was OK to try, but wouldn’t buy again. Wouldn’t receommend. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Sep 14, 2007 Pours a cloudy dark amber with minimal head. Nose is hoppy with a smokey edge to it. Fruit tones are there as well. Flavor is leafy with an almost twig like taste to it. Twig like? Yes. It tastes like tree bark. Hop influence is there, but seems to be almost watered down in a way. Something just doesn’t seem mixed right. Feel is tingly with bubbles. But the drinkability will stay low as I just don’t really dig it too much as it seems to lack balance or a cohesive recipe. Plus it has that metallic flavor which I just don’t like.
