mephisto (1097), Taiwan Aug 18, 2008 cloudy yellow with off white head, it has a bready aroma with the signature grapefruit accent. the flavor is wonderfully floral and malty, well balanced. Bov (4604), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 14, 2008 courtesy of Toni Flükiger - clear amber colour with a solid beige head; powerful nose, very hoppy, resiney aroma, cream and flowers; oily and with a good malt body; very dry and very bitter flowery hoppy finish - hops, hops and more hops euserphriendly (159), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 6, 2008 Fresh Hops! This is really a hop lovers beer. The hops are fresh but not overdone. Good malt backbone. I look forward to having this one again. ehhdayton (1082), USA Aug 6, 2008 Had the 1997 brew. Pours a golden copperish with a nice white head. Aroma has a combination of grapefruit and pine. The hop flavor is clear but not overpowering. Flavors of citrus, pine, and some caramel malt comes through. Slight hint of bitterness at the finish but again is not overly pronounced. markwise (257), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 1, 2008 A good beer- it pours a copper color with a piney aroma and some citrus. It has lots of hoppy, bitter flavor with a piney and bitter hop finish with a somewhat dry/ bitter nail-dragging finish. It’s respectable.
