Somewhat cloudy light brown with a small yellowish head. A spidery ring. Aroma features hops galore with grapefruit and some sugar. Flavor features grapefruit and pine along with some funk. The hops are balanced but not by caramel. It is more sugar which serves to offer little flavor thus enhancing the hop profile. A bitter aftertaste. A good beer but very one dimensional.

pale orange color - sugary sweet candylike aroma. Sweet candy flavor - sticky mouthfeel. Light bitterness - too sweet for my tastes.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a with a lacing white head. Aroma is mild spiced with a light cardboard dryness. Flavour is solid hoppy with a nice caramel malt base nicely complimenting the hops oil Flavours contain some liqourice and light note of wood. Ends dry and hoppy with a mild bite into the finish.

GABF 2007: Poured a clear gold color with a large off-white head. The beer had an odd earthy, dirty piney aroma. Citrus and pine hop flavor. Grapefruit rind bitterness. Sweet malt lurks around. Medium body.
