Oct 26, 2007 Yesper, JK, hellomynameis and others put together one hell of a sampler for us. Lightly hazy amber color with plenty of head. Slightly malty nose is dominated by intense hops. Fruity malt character and a hoppy finish with thick mouthfeel.

Oct 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours an orange-amber body with a white soapy head. The aroma is leafy with a good dose of grapefruit and oranges. There is also some bready cereal and light caramel.
The body is warming and fairly dry - grape skins and grapefruit pulp flavours along with caramelly butterscotch.
Well balanced aside from a bit of alcohol peaking through.

Oct 16, 2007 (thanks to yespr and the mpls crew for sharing) Pours amber with an off-white head. Very citrusy smell with some caramel in there too. Nice sweet malt flavor up front followed by a roasty element finishing with some bitter grapefruit and lemon. Pretty much a thicker version of the Stateside IPA.

Oct 7, 2007 Sampled from the Yespr collection, shared at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a hazy orange amber amber brew with a thick and slow dissolving off-white head that has some good lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, citrusy and pine hops and a touch of light fruit. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated, with some flavors of caramel malt, dry fruits and touch of grapefruit zest. Finish is mildly bitter with a more citrus hops than malt aftertaste.

Oct 6, 2007 Thanks to Yespr. A great fresh hop aroma. The beer seems very fresh overall, an accomplishment considering where it came from. Full bodied malt and hop flavor, both flavors are intense and balance each other. Excellent, thick, sweet and heavy palate.

Oct 6, 2007 [Bottle, thanks yespr for apparently leaving this behind for the Mpls crew to try after RBSG] Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity and hoppy--it reminded me of the Stateside but a little toned down. Quite sweet, malty, a little hoppy but not out of control. Medium mouthfeel. Slightly better than Stateside, despite the aroma being a small step down.
