Feb 11, 2009 Pours a golden clear color with a very thick white head. Aroma has a strong earthy and floral bitterness to it with some wheat and citrus notes toward the tail end. Flavor starts off with earthy and floral hops up front moving into a a lot of citrus notes. After the citrus starts to fade, the wheat sweetness comes through with a slight orange flavor and a taste I can only describe as dry leaves taste (in a good way). Overall the bitterness is heavily present through the whole beer and lingers around quite a bit after it’s down. A great beer as a whole but somewhat of a similar flavor to some of their other high gravity beers.

Feb 10, 2009 Tap @ Acadia Cafe Minneapolis. Pours a golden orange color with minimal head. Flavor is grapefruit, citrus zest, honey, candy sugar. Solid malt backbone to compliment the strong hop notes. Medium bodied, fizzy on the palate. Sweet finish.

Feb 9, 2009 Pours light orange with a small head. Surprisingly mild aroma, with floral hops and a good brown sugar maltiness to counter. Good balance to the nose. Tons of malt character in the flavor - almost too much - though I feel like the slight lack of hops is because this bottle has been sitting a bit long, and the hop oils have all broken down. Good, for sure, and it’s very smooth - but it would be better fresher.

Feb 7, 2009 Bomber. Golden pour with white head that quickly diminishes into a halo of lace. Pine and grapefruit on the nose. Flavor is initially sweet and then turns bitter. Big hop presence, but the malt backbone stands up nicely. More pine and citrus on the palate with hints of bitter orange peel. A bit oily with a medium/full mouthfeel. Sweet and bitter finish. Very nice.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours mostly clear golden orange with a decent off white head. Aroma is citrusy hops. Flavor is more complex- lots of hops along with grapefruit and roses. More fruity than malty- well balanced, smooth and drinkable without being noticeably sweet. Nice finish.

Feb 3, 2009 Damn solid all around. Pours hazy orange with thick white head that leaves plenty of lacing on the glass. Has a very pleasant citrus aroma, with a sweet malt presence. Drinks very smooth with a sweet biting finish. Would drink again!

Feb 2, 2009 Sampled at From The Vine beer tasting Jan 30th, 2009: The beer is a slightly hazy golden-orange color with a medium thin and foamy light beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Lots of grapefuity hops in the nose, plus a bit of grass and malt. Medium body with moderately bitter hops character, with more zesty grapefruit, grass and pepper flavors. Some sweet malt in the background as well. The finish is citrusy hops with a lingering bitterness left over. Solid all around.
