Nov 7, 2009 750 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear amber/orange colour with small off-white head.
Fruity bitter hoppy aroma. Lots of maltiness and bitter hoppiness in flavour. Some yeast and alcohol warmth. Is this really Strong Lager? If so, very good.

Sep 27, 2009 Draft. Golden with a little haze. Lovely hoppy aroma with notes of grape fruits, hay and lightly kilned malt. Bitter and dry; a true thirst quencher, however full-bodied, whick makes it a beer to sip and not a true lawnmower beer.

Sep 20, 2009 [9/5/08] Bottle sample at Kulminator in Antwerp after LCRBM. Murky orange. Aroma of yeast, fruits and some flowery hops. Sweetish spicy flavor with yeast and hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied.

Sep 3, 2009 Once you use amber malts and American hops it is outrageous to pretend this is a pilsner. It’s like trying to pass an Imperial Stout off as a superior pilsner. That said, this is delightful, sort of midway between a double and a triple American IPA, somewhere between Founders’ Double Trouble and Devil Dancer for bitterness and safely below their Devil Dancer for alcohol. Rich amber, not a pils. Cascade and Amarillo, with heavy notes of citrus and pine, not a pils. Great creamy mouth. Beautiful hazy gold with a huge foamy head, almost like a big Belgian. Just delightful. And a bonus point for pulling this off at 8% alcohol, also not a pils. Or a stout. But if I had thought I was buying a pils I would be truly angry.

Aug 28, 2009 Draught at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Deep golden color. Sweet, perfumed, herbal and rubbery aroma. Toffeish, herbal and rubbery flavor with sharp and tart alcohol note. Boozy and sharp lager, not my pint of beer.

Aug 27, 2009 750ml bottle @ Cardinal.Pours cloudy amber with a big off white head.Lovely pine and citrus aroma with a hint of peach.Flavor of citrus hops with a good malt backbone.The alcohol is masked very well which makes this beer dangerously quaffable. Fabulous use of hops.Very good.
corby112 (670), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Aug 25, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden amber/ orange color with a huge, foamy off-white head that settles into a lasting lace. Aroma is nicely balanced with hints of citrus peel, hops, crisp fruit, pine and malt. Very quaffable and excelently balanced, with a complex flavors. Nice malty backbone balancing out sweet crisp fruit, lemon and orange peel, and a nice citrus/ floral hop presence that lasts throughout. Alcohol warmth in the finish.
