May 11, 2006 Drinking this one of the bank of Charles river in Boston, hazy amber color, with a frothy beige head. The nose is one of a nice floral hop, with a grassiness note, hint a crystal malt and citrus fruits in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with floral hop character, with some grassy, leafy, piney notes, hint of sweet caramelized malt, and hint of grapefruit fruitiness leading towards a flowery bitter finish.

Feb 25, 2006 been drinking this for years and know it well. bottle and tap, unquestionably the best ale I have ever had. consider yourself lucky if you have regular access to this ale. been road tripping about 250 miles 1 way to buy quantities and visit the pub a few times/year. there is something special going on at mcniells. visit the pub, put it on the top of your to do list.

Dec 2, 2005 Bomber. Poured a clear medium caramel with a tall, rocky white head... left some nice lacing and there was some light sediment suspended in there (much, much more from the bottom on the second pour). Sweet pine tar in the nose... lots of citrus hoppage (grapefruit and lemon zest), but there was a significant amount of sweet maltage that provided a nice balance. Flavor followed the aroma quite well... lots of pine and citrus hoppage, with a medium caramel backbone. Don’t think this was the freshest sample, though... as the flavors weren’t as crisp as expected or described below.
