Jul 17, 2007 Draught, at MacKenzies, Minneapolis, June 2007. Amber colour. Rather murky. Not surprisingly, this is all about the hops. The aroma is very intense with big pine and resin, but also a very leafy, herbaceous, floral character. Perhaps a little less intense on the palate. Relatively smooth and drinks quite easily. Despite all the hops, its not an outrageous "hops at all costs" beer and comes over as nicely balanced..

Apr 23, 2007 Can trade from shigadeyo. Poured hazy amber with an average off-white frothy head that lasted with good lacing. Solid pine and sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Heavy smooth bitter flavor with a heavy bitter finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.

Mar 9, 2007 Thanks to Ty5592 for this one. Wow, another awesome canned beer! The pour here is clear deep coppery ruby with a 2-finger fluffy white head. Great look on this one. The aroma is malty, with piney hops, cabernet notes, and a lot of citrus fruit. The taste is bready malty, with big fruit and hops, including prominent tangerine and black pepper notes. Very complex palate, with a good heft. Arguably the best canned beer I’ve ever had, and not arguably one of the finest beers I’ve ever had.

Mar 5, 2009 A hazy dark copper orange ale with a thick frothy creamy light moka head. A wonderful hops aroma, resinous, with citrus and marmelade notes, some caramel. Wow! In mouth, a light malt with good citrusy c-hops, a bit lighter than expected from aroma. An excellent IPA. Gift from Piscator. Tasted with Probstk, May 26 2007.

Oct 10, 2008 Cloudy amber with a lasting white head leaving some lace. Strong hoppy aroma with peach, apricot and a little pine. Sweetish malty, with some peach hop flavour, lots of bitterness and a delicious juicy drinkability.

Jul 17, 2007 Can. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium to dark amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, cookie), moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit), with light notes of peach and black tea. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. I can see why it’s well-liked; it’s nicely balanced for the style (very bitter but plenty of malt to back it up) and assertively hoppy in the nose but has malt character to keep it from being one-dimensional. Nice creamy mouthfeel too. A very good rendition, even if not the most appealing sort for me.

Oct 25, 2006 Sampled draught at the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, October 7 2006. Dark amber-copper with a bit of lasting white head, not really much lacing....huge pungently hoppy aroma, quite fresh and leafy with touches of citrus....thick, rich, lightly sweet and again enormously hoppy on the tongue, lots of fresh rough hop oils, faint dry woody/twiggy touches, a bit syrupy towards the finish with lots of submerged dry herbs, moderately to strongly carbonated. Not blown away by this as some have been but there is certainly some distinction as in all of this brewery’s beers that I’ve tried.
