fiver29 (703), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Apr 29, 2008 Can pours a hazy dark amber/red color with a thick off white head. Has a sweet caramel pine smell. It blends together nicely. Has a medium mouthfeel. Tastes like sweet caramel candy, pine, and has a nice sticky hop aftertaste. Overall I really like this beer and would have it on hand for trips all the time because of the can. gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Apr 27, 2008 Can. Golden / brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus, hop. Flavour is citrus, hop, grapefruit. Brutal, bitter beer. yngwie (4880), Kristiansand, Norway Apr 27, 2008 Can, from trade with akevitt. It pours a brownish golden body, unclear, with a quite small off-white head. Hoppy nose, rather intense, borderline catpee, as well as sweetish. Nice though. Really heavy on the malty flavors, still there’s enough hops to give it a citrusy, resiny flavor. Quite intense flavor, good, but a bit too much of everything in a strange way, I usually really enjoy that. Full body, and an astringently bitter finish lasting for a good while. Nice beer, but as mentioned, a bit too much. (080305) Lothore (276), California, USA Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a deep reddish brown with a 2 finger head that sticks around for quite a while and leaves a huge amount of lacing.
S- Smells consists of sweet piney hops, orange, citrus, and underlying hints of pear.
T- Taste is citrusy and acidic with a bitter hoppiness at the end. Small hints of pine.
M- Mouthfeel is actually a bit watery but extremely crisp.
D- This is highly drinkable, the fact that its creamy and slightly watery makes it go down easy with the crispness leaving you wanting more.
17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 26, 2008 Pours copper reddish/orange with a fine head. The scotch malt is easily identified in the aroma and flavor. Piney and pretty bitter, dry. Sticky body, with soda like carbonation. Reminds me of Moylan’s Hopsickle. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Apr 24, 2008 Pours hazy and copper with off white head and nice lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine. Similar flavor throw in some caramel malts.
Thanks Tytoanderso for this can! MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Apr 21, 2008 16 oz can thanks to maximum12 (from RB site). This pours a dark copper color with thin tan head. Strong smell of pine and grass. Taste was strong hops with a peachy taste. Mouthfeel was thick and very bitter. Definitely out of balance, if you like that. Could have used more sweet malt to offset the bitterness. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA Apr 16, 2008 Can via trade with mreusch. Incredibly darker than I was expecting. Burnt copper color with an ivory head. Big, citrusy hop aroma- short of lemony with a "toned down" grapefruit note. Grassy hop flavors. Sweetish caramel maltiness and More grapefruit and citrus hop notes in the flavor. Grainy, caramel malt flavors. I’d consider this a very "outside-the-box" IPA but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. A very well made beer.
