Dec 7, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a one-inch creamy amberish head that recedes quickly. The body is the color of a Rose wine. Nose is subtle lawn clippings. Flavors are simultaneously fruity and bitter with notes of grains, biscuit, cereal, perfume, citrus, grass. Flavors of sweet and bitter are well balanced. Soft carbonation and full body. Good beer, an interesting effort from this brewery for once.

Dec 7, 2008 Pours a nice orange with an off white head. Aroma of strong hops. Flavor if some malts and lots of hops. Great bitterness.

Dec 6, 2008 Wow....what a beer. Crazy with the hops. Hops,hops, and more hops. Pours a hazy orange with thin white head. The hallertau hops are everywhere.....aroma, flavor, finish..you name it. From the first spicy aroma to the initial blast of citrus flavors.....some orange and grapefruit...to lingering bitterness and spiciness, this is one fantastic beer that showcases on of the great hop varieties of the world.

Dec 6, 2008 12oz bottle. Hazy orange with a small white head that leaves some lasting foam. Nice, big, fruity hops in the nose with plenty of almost tropical notes. Hops and just more hops in the flavor. Quite strong citrus peel, with supporting malts that dont step on the hops at all, just provide a solid stage for them to stand on. Boston lager times two? medium-full body with medium-soft carbonation. This is quite tasty. Pretty much a DIPA, with a bit cleaner profile. By far the best sam adams that Ive had.

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle. Strong citrusy hops aroma. Hazy orange amber body, off-white head. Slightly sweet citrus and spice flavor, much bitterness. Assertive and refreshing. Bitter finish. Delicious.

Dec 5, 2008 Updated: Dec 23, 20082008 release. The commercial description nails it. Citrusy aromas, grapefruit, orange zest, and lime are noticeable. Also caramel and deep dried fruits are present. Flavor is hop forward, with citrus and perfume-y notes coming forward. Also there is a dry stemmy character that is hard to describe, and caramel with roasted malts. Full bodied, good mouth feel.

Dec 3, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange, with a good head on it. The aroma is hoppy with citrus notes. The flavor is very, very, very hop bitter, with underlying citrus and pine notes. I just found the bitterness to be unbearable. This is more along the lines of an IPA in flavor.

Dec 1, 2008 pours a nice orange with a thin but creamy beige head. Citrus nose with a nice hop undertone. One of the most intensly hopped pilsners that I have tried, intense at first but mellows out as the malt kicks in. Very nice beer, tasty for a pilsner.
