Mar 19, 2008 Pours hazy dark copper with 2-finger off-white head. Nose is grainy malt, hops, citrus, and mild spicy florals. Tastes grainy malty, with a heavy hopcitrus dose, but never quite seems balanced and it does start rather hot and stay rather hot. Not terrible, but not a beer I’d rebuy.

Mar 12, 2008 (22 oz. bottle with stamp reading "Nov. 6 2007" from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Well what can I say...Pours fairly cloudy goldish-amber forming a tall biscuit head in my willibecher. Head slowly recedes to a rocky, frothy cap. Aroma is fairly nice and interesting - vanilla, maybe maple and honey, egg, caramel, citrus? The nice aroma doesn’t hold up. As head recedes the maltier aroma fades to some sharper pine and some sourishness, lightly dishraggy. Mouthfeel is fairly full and smooth, a bit sticky in finish. Lots of thickish, patchy lacing. Flavor is, well...very, very hoppy. Geesh this is quite a trend with the very hoppy American take on this style (see Otter Creek, Smuttynose). Just loads of hops here - this could pass for a big IPA. Piney, somewhat sharp. Quite bitter toward finish. Alcohol not particularly well-covered. If you let it warm there is some softer light caramel and vanilla underneath. Interesting beer but kind of a full frontal assault of hops and alcohol.

Feb 20, 2008 22 oz bottle. Deep amber-golden beer, thin white head. Soft sweet malty aroma. Pale straw-like crackery sweetness. A very European strong lager-like malt sweetness. Flavour is lightly floral and herbal. Fairly prominent bitterness with a lingering herbal/floral flavour. Okay, but not great.

Jan 26, 2008 22oz. Bottle: Aroma of caramel malts, floral and fruity hops, herbs, vegetables, and a little cardboard. Poured orange in color with a large, creamy, beige head that lasted throughout. Good lacing. Cloudy. Sparkling. Flavor of caramel malts, toasting, chocolate, bread, wood, and hazelnut. Medium body. Lightly sticky texture. Average carbonation. Toasted malt finish. Uninspired.
