Dec 15, 2007 Pacman strikes again. This stuff isn’t much different than Maiers other stuff. Dusty and dirty use of hops which give it a dank flavor.

Jul 22, 2007 On tap-poured an orange color w/a moderate head. Definite hop aroma. Overpowering hop flavor which lacked depth & balance, really tasted more like an IPA to me (and a bad one at that). I didn’t get any real malt character @ all. Strong, bitter finish, alcohol was evedent.

Jul 21, 2007 Cask was opened at Summit’s in Snellville, GA last evening. A very refreshing drink though the alcohol came through fairly strong. It is a bitter beer but it’s summer in Georgia. Charlie P would be pround.

Jul 16, 2007 Draft at Capones in CDA, ID. Smooth, a bit strong, and a good hop bite. However, it lacks something in the malt character that keeps it from being great on the palate.

May 11, 2007 Draft at Rogue. Good hops in this....but mellow overall. A bit creamy and hoppy. Nothing really sticks out, like many of their beers lately.

Apr 29, 2007 Draft. Iced-tea/orange beer. Lacey head. Hoppy, faint floral scent. Smooth, even body. Not a ton of complexity. Solid, respectable choice.
