Sweet and full bodied. Very fruity with wild yeast battling pine needles. Notes of pear and wet wood. Salty sourish resiny bitter finish. Strange and quite failed, although never really unpleasant. oh6gdx (9047), Vasa, Finland

Alround rating: Loads of sweet caramalt, theres a good amount of citrusy lemon and grapefruit and it has a bitter finish but its too far on the sweetside of balanced for me. hopscotch (5525), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Bottle… Clear, deep, dark, ruby ale with a large, fluffy, off-white head and fantastic, creamy retention. The aroma is very meaty and malt-forward for an IPA – maple syrup and pralines – but also provides generous notes of earthy lupulin. Full-bodied and a touch oily with moderate carbonation. Big, meaty, robust flavor. Thick gobs of caramel and warm maple syrup are almost balanced out by a fantastic, generous hop addition (or two or three). Lengthy, bittersweet finish… the bitterness lingers long after the sweetness has been laid to rest. Bottle courtesy of craftbeerdesign!
