Sep 24, 2004 Deep, faintly ruby, amber. Strong citrus nose, which carries over as lemons on the palate. Small sticky beige head. Spritzy, clean, touch of black tea, sweet herbal hops, well balanced caramel malts. Subtly bitter, and quite quaffable. Now its available in MA!

Sep 23, 2004 Pours with a two-finger bubbly white head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Clear amber color. Medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Medium carbonation. The brewer says: "perfect balance between caramel maltiness and its aggressive hopping" well, the aggressive hopping dominates any caramel maltiness, there is a little sweetness in the background but not much. $2.25 for a 12oz bottle from Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA.

Sep 21, 2004 I found this beer to be quite excellent. Reminiscent of Arrogant Bastard Ale. Rich caramel malt flavor with a nice drying sensation from the hops. Well balanced and complex.

Sep 8, 2004 Dark amber, decent head, caramel and citrus aroma, flavor bitter, not much malt, kinda bland in my opinion.

Sep 7, 2004 Reddish amber color, clear body. Avg size creamy white head that leaves a soapy residue and finally a creamy surface. Excellent and pleasant sweet (brown sugar, caramel) citrusy and grassy hops. Light yet decent grassy hop flavor with some low-lying sweetness. Has an almost porter-like burnt/lactic acid finish.

Aug 31, 2004 Bold and hoppy, you know this is west coast as soon as it hits your nose. Aroma is resiny and floral as is the flavor. Nice caramel character prevents the hops from running rampant. Sharp bitter finish. A fine ale.

Aug 15, 2004 Fruity, floral nose. Hoppy, light carmel flavors. Some toast and bread. Nice lace along the glass. A bit watery but still a nice beer.
