riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Nov 21, 2008 Amber pour with a thin lasting head and decent lacing. Floral and citrus hops in the aroma. Pretty fruity actually. Nice. Floral citrus bitterness initially with some sweetish malts for balance and a nice fruity effect. Linger floral/citrus finish. Hoppy. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Sep 6, 2008 Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of grapefruit. Sweet malty hoppy bitter citrus flavor. Has a dry malty hoppy grapefruit finish. BillKismet (1899), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 13, 2008 Full bronze color with fantastic creamsickle head. Sweet, pungent hop aroma heavy with grapefruit and over-ripe fruit, perhaps from Crystal hops. Nice hoppy flavor, with again, grapefruit and the apparent use of Crystal hops. This feels like a ton of IBU’s. Not bad and certainly packs a wallop.
