Jun 11, 2009 Very good. Pours orange with a bit of white head. I got a great big blast of grapefruit and pine in the nose with a hint of candy sweetness peaking through. The flavor is big, bold, and bitter as all hell. Lots of pine. Medium body and easy to drink it you enjoy that long bitter finish. I like this better than Pliny.

Jun 8, 2009 Updated: Jul 12, 2009This one impressed! A LongShot indeed, decided to pick this beer up because I have every Sam Adams besides Utopias and this brew is one of the best from the company. Full of citrussy goodness with a wonderful hop salad flavor, you can’t point out any particular hop, a heavenly mixture. This home brewer should think about commercializing.
