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.

Jun 9, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2008Brought back from the PNW. Big bottle with silver foil over the cork and cage. Half gold beer with good carbonation and half actively morphing loose head. Nice hop aroma with definate alcohol presence, seems more like the ghost of an IPA. But the flavour is an initial alcohol rush and then an enjoyable fruity hop and alcohol mix that is actually quite tasty and enjoyable. A bit of a sour citrus residue in the mouth. Kind of a cross between a Tripel and a Malt Liquor. Much better than the Pyramid Imperial Pilsner I had Saturday.

Dec 15, 2008 VRBT. Light amber. Hoppy aroma. Flavor was light pils malts and a load of floral hops. Quite good. You really can make a good beer in this style.

Jul 3, 2007 (Bottled, 0.75l) Very hazy amber with a small, tight head. Quite crisply grassy-hoppy aroma with some malt sweetness. Very hoppy, dry and grassy flavor - like Pilsner Urquell squared. Well-hidden alcohol, but could use some more malt. Medium-bodied, crisp and slightly alcoholic, but reasonably balanced palate. Nice (especially using lager yeast), but quite straightforward overall.

Hazy dark orange color, good thick creamy off-white head. Fresh pinewood-hoppy aroma: Amarillo hops. Is this pilsener? (yes technically, lager yeast used) Reminds me about Stadin Amarillo IPA - very nice American style hopping, lots of chewie malts. Not overly hoppy, beer is also enjoyable drinking despite of high ABV - I would say also that not too many IBUs. Not much to do with pilsners but really excellent brew!

Jan 30, 2008 Bottle 0,75l. Thanks to Rune for sharing this masterpiece! Bright golden. Lot of filigrees on the glass. Fruity aroma dominated by grapefruit. Flavor in the same direction with more subtle fruits. A long fruity aftertaste. Alcohol well hidden.

Aug 9, 2009 750 ml bottle@Cardinal. Dim orange body with a big, foamy off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma, grapefruit, orange, caramel and grass. Flavor is fruity, refreshing, orange, malt, spices and relatively bitter. Nice body, feels heavy at the same time as it’s easy drinkable. Amazing good balance and no sign of the big alcohol. Dangerous!
