May 5, 2009 Amber, cloudy, vibrant. Looks nice. Herbal nose with slight papaya...light orangey notes. Minty, tobaccoey herbal hops, start woody and dry. The malts in this one are toasty initially with some residual sweetness in the back. The problem for me is that as this one warms those sticky, chewy malts become dominant. The beer quickly loses all semblance of drinkability. Disappointing.

May 19, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a medium cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Nice lacing left on the glass. Aromas of citrus, floral hops, some tropical fruits, and caramel. Tastes of citrus, spicy hops, floral, caramel, a little earthy, and pine. Hoppy burps. Light alcohol in the finish but overall well hidden.

Jul 5, 2009 Updated: Nov 29, 200912oz bottle–pours a rich light tan head and amber/copper color. Aroma is floral/herbal hops (cascade, Willamette, centennial?), secondary medium malt, then some pine, chemical. Taste is chemical/metallic/resiny hops with some bitter, secondary medium malt, syrupy mouth feel. This beer varies as I progress on both aroma and taste. And some sugary butterscotch (diacytl?). not crazy about. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Sep 7, 2009 Bottle: Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy lacing white head. Aroma of fresh citrusy and orange hops well balanced with a sweet toasty underlying caramel maltiness. Starts with good sweet malty fullness and a fairly fresh and citrusy flavoring and bitter hoppiness. Finishes drier with a lingering bittersweetness. Very true to style and dangerously drinkable.
