Sep 18, 2008 Pours golden with a white head. Tons of hops on the aroma, mostly pine, and a touch of malt. Lots more hops on the flavor, bitter but under control, malt is good for balance. Not my favorite style but still a solid beer.

Sep 13, 2008 Say, this is good. Wasn’t sure what to expect; thought it might be an Oktoberfest style. Instead lovely fresh hops on the nose, and nice and toasty malt. Slightly nutty flavor of toasted pumpkin seeds. Good malt balance. Really tasty.

Sep 13, 2008 ST, expecting an over the top experience. Lid pop yeilds hop candy pine aroma. Looks ubiquitous pale yellow but is sparkling nicely. Rude hop taste bud bitter mowing palate. Premium bitter? More like an IPA. Soapy oily with lots of biting personality. Lingering bitter nearly terrible slippery mouth coating medicinal finish. Most likely would not purchase again. Burping volatile hoppy gasses. Quite difficult one time 12 oz bottle.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle: pours a nice clear golden amber color with a frothy white head, nice fresh hoppy aroma, a little citrus, taste is hoppy with a nice bitter finish - though not overpowering bitterness, I could drink a lot of this stuff. Southern Tier always seems to do the hoppy beers real well and this one is no exception.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very light copper, yellowish color- certainly not the "deep ruby" noted in the description. Decent head. Nose is sharp and crisp, lots of light floral and some citrus notes. Flavor is mostly hops- heavy on the bitterness, but not at all abrasive. Heavy on the grapefruit and lemon, c-hop citric flavors. Good, though no especially exciting.
