DKTN (106), Mc Donald, Tennessee, USA Jun 1, 2008 Bottle, 12 oz. Amber with a tan head. Excellent lacing. Floral hop aroma with notes of lemon and grapefruit; flavor of same. A metallic finish detracted.
mbgrayson (52), Anaconda, Montana, USA Oct 5, 2008 Hmmm. Not quite sure what to make of this one. A little more of a bitter finish than I like...very malty. Not quite as smooth as I like an amber ale. mirjukka (436), LOHJA, Finland Oct 5, 2008 bottle 355ml from Alko Arkadia shared with FatPhil&Anna color:amber Taste: grapefruity pine sweet extra sticky mouthfeel. Should I learn to like this or not bit confusing FatPhil (2352), Espoo, Finland Oct 5, 2008 355 ml bottle (Alko) - shared by Mirjukka - thanks!
Deep orange, small head. Sickly sweet aroma, some aromatic fruity hops too. Super-sweet caramel and piney taste. Touch of coffee cake made with treacle. Decent flowery and fruity hops. Quite a hoppy finish, pretty perfumey, but also very sticky sweet. So caramelly sweet. Yikes. Quite how you Americans drink this stuff without getting spontaneous diabetes, I’ll never work out!
tlind2 (264), Helsinki, Finland Oct 4, 2008 355 ml bottle. Pours a deep copper color, low off-white head. Hoppy aroma, maybe a touch of toasted malts? Bitter flavor with citric hops. Fairly light body. I wasn’t really impressed. Whiskeyjack (10), , Massachusetts, USA Oct 3, 2008 Full hop aroma with some butterscotch notes. Pours with a full brown head w/ small bubbles, clear dark brown/amber in color. Clean hop flavor with pleasant grapefruit notes. Crisp & refreshing.
