Aug 11, 2008 A decent beeer. A slight bitter finish with a somewhat smokey flavor and nose.

Aug 9, 2008 Didn’t realise yanks could make beer like this. Not overly hopped with the garish US grapefruity pine resin varieties, but nicely balanced and hoppy all the same. Bit pricey but a definite beer to be revisited. Pretty damned good rendition of a British Style. Will definitely have to pay more attention to US brews from hereon. Apologies for the late start.....intend to make up for lost time.

Aug 8, 2008 Something odd, bu tnot unpleasant, like commercial mushrooms, among the sugar and citrus. Made a big light yellow head in my glass that lingers a long time over a clear greenish amber, a mix of textures in the mouth & aromatic. The hops are kinda blunt, tongue-numbing, I taste grapefruit, alcohol, smoke.

Aug 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours an opaque brownish-copper color with a medium off-white head. Bitter indeed as it first hits the front and middle of the tongue then it mellows out into more of a floral flavor on the finish. A balanced aroma of hops and malt before actually drinking. Bitter finish as well w/ a hint of caramel. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Aug 4, 2008 Phew. Bitter indeed. Lovely. Rogue’s solid left hook. Aroma and flavor compliment each other perfectly. This should put a smile on even the most pretentious beer snobs from Belgium.

Aug 4, 2008 I wish they stocked more of this at the LCBO when they released it. I was late, but Mondy got a bunch. I drank a few too many of his on my birthday and he wasn’t having it. I poured it into the wrong glasswear and still enjoyed every last drop. It was around the time I began to discover American craft beer, and darnit was is good

Aug 3, 2008 22 oz bottle. Maybe a slight floral aroma. Murky brown color. Biscuit like, with bitter hops, with maybe some floral notes. Has a light, airy taste for all that bitterness. This grew on me the more I drank it. I’m not a fan of overpowering bitter beers, but ended up liking this. Nice change of pace.

Aug 2, 2008 Amber pour, sizeable white head. Slightly aromatic hop nose. Malt/hops duke it out, hops end up winning just barely. Nice carbonation. Does remind me a bit of an English ESB, with slightly more hopping. Pretty good.
