Aug 27, 2006 <!-- i -->Hand-bottled #65.<!-- /i --> Reddish-brown body, medium cream head. Sweet aroma imparted with alcohol, toast, and touches of butterscotch, in addition to piney, grapefruity hops. Caramely, toasty body with citrusy, resiny hops, a bit stale and probably less bitter and potent than they were when the beer was fresh. Dense flavor profile; alchol nearly undetectable. Good but lacks character. A bit too conventional for the style.

May 5, 2007 From some generous person’s growler at ’07 DLD. Clear orange colored beer with a thin, off white head. Huge fresh hop nose with tons of sharp pine resins and perfume. Juicey citrus flavors with grapefruit, orange and tangerine, plus the pine resin, peach, and light toast. Lots of grapefruit zest in the finish. All this on just enough malt foundation to tempt balance. Very nice hop head beer.

May 22, 2003 Updated: Mar 30, 2005Muddy rust. Scarce ring of slowly moving bubbles. Softly thick, flat palate. Adequate, hop dominant aroma of perfumey lemon zest, apple, honey suckle, spruce tips and underlying notes of wood and coconut. Initial chewy hop onslaught followed by vague spruciness, wood, and mint. Dirtily yeasty, though. Long, numbing finish of prickly pine needles and maple coated malt sweetness. Long minty alcohol vapors and a splash of phenols. Dirty yeast, mudddled aroma and flavor, and lack of hop brightness & hop burps hurt the overall score here. Moreover, the fact that this so highly varies from batch to batch, where it ranges from medicore to phenomenal, is also disappointing.
