May 13, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear dark amber color with a thin beige head that has decent retention. Spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and some hops. Light to medium body with a moderately malty character, and notes of hops and pine. The finish is roasty with a lingering malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Feb 4, 2008 On tap at brewery, 02/04/08. Dark apricot/peach color. Plenty of carbonation even 20 minutes after taster served. Piney hop aroma. Big malt flavor upfront. Some sweetness... and there are the grapefruit hops we knew would come (with accompanying bitterness). Well balanced and flavorful. Good job.

Jun 4, 2007 Aroma is mostly a strong citrus hop presence. Appearance is dark red with a small head. Flavor to me was mostly a hoppy burst followed by lots of alcohol for this precentage. The body was also relativey weak. Wattery actually. Hop biite and alcohol on the palate. Not bad but not good like most of their beers.
