Jan 20, 2009 Bottle from Booze Bros. in Reno, NV. Poured a reddish orange with a strong hop aroma. I was expecting a harsh hit of bitter on the palate, but the hops were well controlled. Medium-bodied beer with a dry finish.

Jan 19, 2009 The aroma is a floral hop smell, wirh a caramel malt sweetness in the background. The taste is identical. Very enjoyable caramel/brown sugar sweetness up front, sliding into a nice clean bittering from the floral hops toward the back. The finish is nice and clean, and has a pleasant hoppy bitterness. Medium mouthfeel. Very drinkable; I could easily do 5 or 6 of these. Excellent beer overall.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottle - Amber in colour with a slight haze. Fresh grassy and hoppy aroma with grapefruit and tea. Very hoppy and bitter taste with grapefruit and lemon. Very hoppy but not overwhelmingly so. Good stuff.

Jan 10, 2009 What an amazing bitter. Though topped by the Younger, stands out as a wonderful paring of a variety of hops and malts

Jan 7, 2009 Draft at Brews Cafe, Jan 2008. I first had BB in Oregon at various Rogue Public Houses back in 2002. It blew me away back then, and while my tastes have increasingly leaned to the hoppy side of things since then, somewhat leaving BB behind, it is still a solid beer. First I must state that fresh on draft is FAR SUPERIOR to the bottle. It is pale in color and slightly hazy. Good solid hop aroma. The flavor is hoppy and refreshing, although the body a little thin. The aroma builds as the beer warms and opens up. I have to keep reminding myself that it isn’t an IPA and rate as such. Good beer, can be very good when fresh.

Jan 4, 2009 Reviewed 12/20/2008 (bottle):
Pours a huge foamy head, whitish, diminishing. Body is very clear golden amber body. Very hoppy grapefruity aroma. Hoppy taste but a big balancing malty taste, some nuttiness like hazelnut. Nice taste, would make a good session beer. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Drying aftertaste. A little much after a bit.

Jan 4, 2009 A solid beer in the mold of an IPA. First had at the Portland, OR Rogue pub in 2002, then later at the brewery in Newport. This beer is pretty balanced with a solid malt body that finishes on the light hoppy side. A nice beer, although in 2009, it is a tad outdated.
