Pretty red-amber with a small, white frothy head; medium lacing. Not particularly aromatic; light citrus, light malt, and moderately piney; a touch of bread; the slightest hint of alcohol fumes. Flavor also some citrus and a fair amount of pine; high-but-not-quite-absurd bitterness through the finish, and perhaps a little overly harsh. Medium-thin body froths up nicely in the mouth with a little movement. I’ve been rating a lot over the past few weeks, so I suspect I’d have found the bitterness offensive a month ago; right now, it’s certainly drinkable, but it’s still a bit more than I really care for.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours an amber gold with a decent white head. Smells earthy and sage like with some floral hints. Tastes of dry malt and light pepper with a hint of hops on the finish. More subdued than others I’ve tried.

Jul 15, 2008 Caramel malt and hop aroma. Pours amber with a white head. It is bitter and hoppy all the way through. It has a slight metallic flavor.

Jul 4, 2008 6/10/08 From 12oz bottle. Aroma is earthy, somewhat noble hop forward with faint malt that still balances well. Appearance is clear gold with a moderate white head. Flavor is grassy c-hop forward, not harsh, with caramel malt balance; somewhat simple. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a spritzy carb texture. Overall, relatively easy drinking with a pleasant balance.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours copper colored with some carbonation bubbles. Medium sized white frothy head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is fruity apricot. Flavor is quite hoppy with long bitter aftertaste. First tastes like lager though, oddly. Tastes like a really bitter regular lager. Nicely bitter, but I’m not sure about the rest.
