Very fresh floral hop aroma,very surprising, the best effects of well done dry hopping,almost expect this to be an imperial IPA,flavor is surprisingly balanced and smooth ,almost a lager like texture ,all the hopping in the aroma ,settled nicely in background and bittering hops take center stage ,remarkably drinkable for such a fragrant brew,excellent

Jan 3, 2010 Can: Amber in color, somewhat hazy, moderate to large foamy off-white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation. Subtle straw and alfalfa on the nose. Very rind oriented on the tongue. Very much like the white bits
of an Orange, but not as biting or citrusy. Otherwise, straw/haw presense. Somewhat heavy on the tongue, not as bright or floral as other Bitter/ESB examples. Finishes with a touch of cereal butteryness. Odd
considering this is a new brew. Not all that strong, but its there. Lingering rind. Not a bad beer, but not what I was expecting. Thanks Bob for the can!

Dec 31, 2009 An unexpected treat from Surly. Pours hazy golden with stark white head. Aroma is full of lemon and citrus zest, and flavor is a blast of refreshing orange, apricot, peach, and lemon. The hop and zest tastes lead into a nice sweetness, and ends refreshing and a bit bitter. An excellent brew that is underrated!

Dec 27, 2009 Clear amber, thin white head fades. Lemon and wheat aroma. Same earthy taste with a thin lemony body. Awesome can.

Dec 17, 2009 Can thanks to brian23456 (BA)!
Transparent amber with a thin white head. Nose has light earth, leaf, and hop with vague touches of bread loaves. Heavy tea in the flavor and strong lemon and pineapple through the rather empty finish. Not much of an opinion either way here.

11/04/2009: Surly Bitter Brewer... Aroma: Weak pine hops and subtle toasted underlying malt. Appearance: Faint yellow color; chill haze; small white head; fine lacing. Flavor: Unique, unexpected, and interesting blend of lemon, pine and spruce (LOTS!), and toasted malts; hint of cumin. Palate: Medium-light. Overall: I REALLY like this beer - it’s crisp, refreshing, plenty flavorful, and very unique and memorable.
1 pint can ( 4% Alc/Vol; IBU - 37 ) via trade from Skyview. Thanks Bob! Rating #230 for this beer.

Nov 7, 2009 can, pours light amber with a tall frothy off white head. Aroma is nice and citrusy with lemon peel and orange. Wow, so good and at 4%, has tons of flavor. Soft pale malt sweetness, the oats are there as well with a nice fresh hop finish that ends dry with a nice piney hop note. This is a great session brew.
