Dec 28, 2007 Poured a lightly hazy, yellow amber color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of tangerine, light floral hops, vanilla, and citrus fruits. Taste of orange peel, citrus fruits, grass, toffee malts, and a moderate bitterness, with a bit of alcohol in the finish.

Dec 28, 2007 Pours a medium cloudy darker yellow body with a small rocky white head. The aroma is quite hoppy and grainy. Flavor starts with heavy wheat and grain notes followed with a big grapefruit taste with notes of ammonia and alcohol. I’d bet this was much better fresh but there’s no date on the bottle to derive that conclusion from.

Dec 23, 2007 12-19-07 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to both demitriustown and holdenn.
Clear amber with a nice white, sudsy head. Great apricot fruity hops smell. Dry and strong hops flavor with a strong, almost thick finish. An interesting, unique finish and ending. After it warmed a bit - things seemed to go downhill -- all I could taste or smell was the alcohol - not my favorite way to finish a beer, when it isn’t balanced or masked properly. Damn.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy amber color with a nice, dense head of about one finger. Aromas are pleasantly hoppy: citrus and pine with a nice bit of sweetness to it. Flavor is kind of odd, though. It almost starts off like a wheat or something... there is a slight chewiness to the front end before it gives way to a hoppy finish. The finish is really well done and crisp, but I’m not sold with the texture up front. It definitely packs a bit of a kick, too.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Heavy hop aroma with citrus, pine, sweet malt, and some grain. Flavor is pine, light caramel, grapefruit, and a hint of malt sweetness with a bitter finish.

Pours a gorgeous glowing, light sunny orange color with a nice white head that leaves good lacing. Smell is nicely balanced with sticky malt and a moderate hop presence. A touch of alcohol in the nose as well, which increases a lot as it warms. Taste is nice at first with a smooth creamy body and very light carbonation. Moderately hopped and balanced with hop flavors of hibuscus and tea. Very mild bitterness, but in the end the alcohol presence is way higher than it needs to be and becomes obtrusive for me. Otherwise, a nice beer.

Dec 14, 2007 Very citrusy orangey hop aroma, distinct but not strong, a very strange light red gold color, taste is unexpectedly powerful, huge hoppy citrus with plenty of sweet malt backing, ,all that sweetness you get makes it more a pale ale then an IPA, very intrigueing, almost a perfectly balanced brew,10% hardly noticed,never tasted sucha strong light colored brew as this
