Dec 20, 2009 Bottle: Coppery with rocky head and spotty lace, The aroma has notes of caramel and roasted malts, grassy and herbal hops, tangerine, crabapple,earthy yeasty esters. The taste is fruity and bitter, well balanced but there is a touch of butterscotch and under attenuated malts. Light spice notes upon the finish. The mouth feel is lively and crisp but a bit chalky upon the finish. Okay, better than two of the Pugsleys offerings from Shipyard but worth the monies.

Dec 19, 2009 Aroma and appearance were both great at the start as well as the taste, but eventually the taste became a little annoying, and to the last sip was getting to the point where it was a chore to finish. Great grapefruit and pine flavors and aroma. not bad, but wont do it again.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours a golden copper color with a good head and adequate carbonation. Aroma is of hops, floral, citrus, pine, and more hops. The first taste hits you pretty strongly - very hoppy and slight malts (the way I like it) - and at first I didn’t think I’d like it, but this one really grows on you. The 9.2% warms you up quickly and the wonderful hop flavors persist through the finish, but don’t leave you with a bitter taste. Very enjoyable, though in the end, it tastes hoppier than the IBUs would indicate - almost up there with a Ruination (100+) but it’s really only at 70.
