Jul 9, 2007 16oz. can. Strong aroma of fresh, citric hops, some orange and flowers in conjunction with lighter notes of red apple fruitiness, pine, toasted malts and touches of fresh wood and earthiness. Clear medium red-copper color with a very fine but lasting head leaving wisps of lacing behind. Flavor is rather easily dominated by the suitably aggressive hop character, which brings flavors of tangerine, pineapple and herbs to go along with the massive bitterness, and blended towards the middle with a darkly honeyish, toasty malt character. Sprucy, leafy, tangy and again very solidly bittering at the finish. Finely effervescent and lightly resinous, oily and drying mouthfeel with a medium body. This stuff just makes with the hops, and fast. Thanks a bunch to theisti!

Jul 7, 2007 16oz can-pours a foamy light tan head and red/amber color. Aroma is citrus/pine hops, medium malt. Taste is citrus/pine hops –some bitterness, secondary medium malt-caramel/brown sugar but not quite balanced. Further in and with food balance is better. Hops are dry and some spicing comes out. OK carbonation.

Jul 7, 2007 Can. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is lovely hoppy with notes of grapefruit and caramel. The flavor is sweet and extremely hoppy, that makes it very dry and grassy, combined with notes of pine needles and grapefruit. Thanks to yespr for bringing this to Denmark.

Jul 4, 2007 (Can 47,3 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Very piney nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel malt but otherwise dominated by the extremely dry aroma hops. Really dry as a bone - quinine-like. 290607

Re-rate. 16 oz can from UncleJedi - thanks! Gushed a bit... Hazy amber with a huge beige head that descends rockily. Earthy grapefruit nose, pine and caramel. Earthy hop flavors, lightly spicy, grapefruit and rich caramel. Herbal finish. Awesome rings of thick lace al the way to the bottom. Wonderful! Bumped from 3.8 to 4.

Jul 3, 2007 RBSG 2007 Tour at Surly – Deep amber, thick creamy off white head. Hop forward nose of grapefruit, pine, and earth that relies on a soft toasted caramel malt backbone. Well bittered piney earth-like flavors are balanced with just touches of toasted sweet malt. Bitter from start to finish. Medium bodied with a pillow soft carbonation. Very nice session IPA
