scooter_bub (191), Lander, Wyoming, USA May 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber-brown with a thin tan head. Has a roasted malt, hop and smoke taste with a dry/bitter finish. The aroma is of smoke and hops. Pretty tasty, but is easy to drink as it is smooth. Pretty enjoyable, but it reminds me of Redhook’s Long Hammer IPA too much. Overall, there are better choices out there, which makes this a forgettable beer.
alraicercsu (104), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 27, 2008 On tap. Pours a clear amaber color with a good size whiteish head. Smells a little of hops and burnt sugar. Tastes like it smells. Not bad not great. Papsoe (10267), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 25, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear deep amber golden with a dense off-white head. Somewhat dusty aroma also with some lightly burned caramel. Medium body with a little burned malt and hard roasted malts. The finish is dry. 180908 KimJohansen (4285), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 19, 2008 Clear dark amber with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt and caramel notes. Flavour likewise with mild bitter finish. kyzr (959), Belgrade, Montana, USA Sep 15, 2008 Darker amber pour with nice off-white head. I noticed a good big of hops at first with some sweet malt and a touch of roast. Flavor had some caramel hints with a good bit of hop bite to it. Nice carbination also. hamsterglory (30), Bryan, Texas, USA Sep 13, 2008 this beer is refreshing. i needed a refreshing beer after my travels from texas to colorado. we arrived at our dear friends house to find cold o’dells in the fridge. i did not tarry to crack open a bottle of 90 Shilling - finding it far more complex, enjoyable and relaxing than i ever remembered. slightly bitter hop notes lay atop a caramelly sweet bed of roasted malts. strong thick khaki-colored head, counted down my much needed sips on the edges of the glass. reddish hue, brick like bent of light, architecturally solid column of pure all-out-ale, little carbonation, few bubbles in the foundation, hidden aroma, quasi-polar hop and malt flavors subtly revealed by consecutive sips and chews. i wanted this beer with a fine homemade pizza or grilled reuben club. this beer may have not been designed to stand alone. still, after the two days i just weathered, i liked it. and i poured a second very quickly.
