jstraw (471), Oak Park, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2007 Clear amber with good, creamy off-white head / Big, fresh hop and weed nose / Medium, very creamy hop body with good finish / Brilliant flavors of grapefruit, fresh cut pine, peach, and spice with long sweet toffee finish / Outstanding. gws57 (995), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Dec 8, 2007 Found this one bottled at Binny’s in St. Charles. Wow. Thick white head atop a clear, reddish-brown pour. Very strong citrusy hops nose. Clean and profoundly bitter, with piney hops, grapefruit, orange rind but a creaminess that belies this beer’s shaprness. Strong finish. Amazing. garrison (433), Cin. city, Ohio, USA Nov 28, 2007 From a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Kellers IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a copper hued brew with a just a very, very slightly off-white head of foam and a complex grapefruit-flowers-malt aroma. Tastewise, it really isn’t too complex, but it is a tastey beer, and it has a very hoppy bite at the end (and leaves great lacing on the glass)! rajendra82 (647), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Nov 25, 2007 Clear, pale-amber color, and a two finger thick head made this beer look quite beautiful. The aroma was of floral, piney, and grapefruit hops, and was not particularly pungent. The taste was delicate and bittersweet. This was a well balanced beer showcasing both the zesty spiciness of the hops and the sugary sweetness of the pale malt. It was flavorful but less imperial than the version of couple of years ago. The body however was silky smooth and soft. I’d not go as far as the neck label in saying that this was was a full bodied IIPA, but it did seem to glide on my tongue quite well. Easy to approach and drink up. Viking_Hammer (292), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA Nov 16, 2007 Pours a dark orange with a medium size white head. Spruce aroma. Sweet to bitter with loads of hops. Full bodied. Awesome beer.
