Dec 2, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks brentfeesh! - Pours a slick dark brown with a small tan head...aroma is floral mixed with some of that oily noble hop character, sweet brown sugar malt and grass...flavour is similar, oily hop, roasted grain with a little smoke, dry toasted malt...finish is pretty solid, pine and roast...tasty...

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. After a particularly difficult call with Virgin Media’s call centre (which is the worst in the world), I needed something to calm my nerves. This is very dark brown with a big beige head. Good American resiny hops on aroma. Some dry malt on aroma too. It’s ok in the mouth, but maybe just a bit watery. Bit of earthyness. It’s a half decent beer. Not too keen on the dry malt and resin hop finish. Not quite a brown ale, not quite an IPA. Odd beer, I like the hops, but just not on this beer.

Nov 25, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The pour is brown with a small off-white head, but a whole buncha red when held to the light. The aroma is extremely sour like grapefruits, but with a backing of chocolate and nuts. The flavor is bitter malts up front with a hint of chocolate and nut followed by a roasty dryness due in part to the malt and the hops. Decent stuff.

Nov 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a brown color with a medium sized tan head that dissipated quickly. It has the aroma of citrus smelling hops and chocolate smelling malt. It has a strong grapefruit hop taste with a coffee, toffee and pine taste. This is a wonderfully balanced beer with neither the hop or malt taste being overpowering. This beer is very refreshing and easy to drink. I really liked this beer.

Nov 22, 2009 Pours brown with ruby hints. Slightly off white head good lacing. Aroma of hops dominates. Flavor of malts, nuts and coffee with underlying hop bitterness. Odd combination. Not sure how much I like this one.

Nov 20, 2009 Pours cola brown. Nose is sweet grapefruit, big citrus hops. Pretty IPA-ish. Flavor is roasted malt, cocoa, hints of coffee and loads of citrus hop flavor. Pretty nice.

Nov 19, 2009 Super hoppy, with complex, and perhaps unwanted, liquorish after taste. I could imagine acquiring a taste for this unique brew, but I am not there yet.

Nov 16, 2009 I like the citrusy hoppy flavors on top of a nutty brown roasted background but the texture isn’t here. There is a slight choclate sweetness here but the hops steal the show. It needs a body to stand on.
