Bottle from Liquid Solutions. This is impressively complex as it warms up. Nose is caramel malts, piney hops, vanilla, and citrus fruits. Flavor is bitter pine needles and grapefruit. Long bitter finish. Good brew overall.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle, courtesy Tony at Oldsmar Tap House. Golden sheen, creamy head, very thick lacing. Aroma is very floral, piney, creamy vanilla, nice bitter touch on it. Extremely bitter flavor, a bit cloying, pine, and a floral finish. Has a touch of oxidation to it, but still very bitter and hoppy. Not very quaffable methinks.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Tony at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops backed up by sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Jun 25, 2008 Pours copper with a big, thick, white, lasting head. Big hoppy aroma is mostly pine. Flavor is sweet for a split second and then bitterness settles in. Pine and bitterness cover the tongue like tree sap. Bitterness tends to cover everything else. Not very complex.

May 22, 2008 22oz bottle. Hop bomb for sure. Floral aroma. Plenty of bitter citrus and a touch of cedar. Smatterings of pine resin, but only a bit. Pours a heavy looking dark hazy copper with a thin white head. Flavor is all sorts of bitter. Lacking the nuances of any particular hop flavor though. Slightly soapy. Oily, resinous, bitter hops. Malt? Nah... Just bitter, bitter hops.
