Oct 25, 2007 My personal favorite. Obvious dry hoppiness. In my experience its a much better beer on tap than from a bottle. Also better to take in a globe glass or a snifter. The aroma dominates the head and enhances the experience.

Mar 5, 2008 Deceptively complex beer, best off tap and best (counterintuitively) when freezing cold on a freezing cold day. Seemed to lose rather than gain character when warmed. Extremely drinkable and pleasant, not too much on the hops.

Sep 17, 2005 Excelent beer, this is the hoppiest NBB beer ever reliesed to the public. The dry hopped aroma doninated on the nose with hints of fresh cut grass and carmel. Dry on the palatewith excellent hop flavor. Perfectly carbonated for this style of beer. Excelent lace in the glass and a wonderful lingering hop finish. I also got this from a sample case.

Feb 22, 2007 The second time New Belgium has made this beer brought a more malty beer with less hoppiness. This beer is better balanced then in 05-06. Great finnish, perfect for sipping while outside next to a fire on a clod winters night.

Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Jun 9, 2008This is surprisingly nice, being full of not only malt but strong hop flavour without a corresponding bitterness. It is light amber with a medium, dense off white head a fairly nice lacing. The aroma is grain, pine, cypress, toffee and yellow cake batter. The taste was a little odd at first the first time I had it, but it develops into a nice, interesting, full bodied & well-rounded flavour. It has toasted grain, cream soda, hints of caramel and pineapple juice, aromatic citrus-pine-floral hop element with lots of hops flavour but only light hop bitterness. It’s surprisingly oily and silky. It’s a lot like a malty, full-bodied double IPA without the bitterness.

Dec 30, 2006 Draft at Yard House KC: Deep rosy amber, decently laced but thin head. Musty hoppy aroma, but this flavor is more robust and wintery ... earthy hop, with almost a chamomile flourish to it. Filling and very good beer.

Oct 28, 2008 This is very enjoyable. Very nice hop characteristics balanced nicely with some light malts. Hoppy aroma and flavor. Bitter on the palate. Crystal clear orange gold.
