Sep 30, 2006 [Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Poors thick hazy golden, no head. Lychee aroma. Medium sweet, soft and full bodued with notes of caramel and rye bread. Loads of hops simmer above. Lingering very bitter finish.

Sep 27, 2006 Pours a slightly hazy orangey copper with a frothy khaki head and lots of lacing. Smells of sweet pale malt with a light but strident citrusy hops and a hint of alcohol.
Taste is surprisingly malty. Very malty with a warming alcohol. Persistent underpinnings of citrusy hops. Grainy with a distinct rye character in the flavor. Very good. Does Terrapin do anything wrong?

Sep 17, 2006 Dunno why but I was expecting a real hop-monster with this one. I was very surprised at how well balanced it was! Great balance between the hop bite and malty finish! Silky smooth drinker. Very enjoyable!

Sep 15, 2006 Bottle from TheBeerCellar2. So, I decided to open a Terrapin while watching WVU take on the Maryland Terrapins. Good thing the brewery doesn’t perform like the team. Hazy golden pour with a nice amount of miniscule floaties. Aroma was pretty nondescript, it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a I2PA. Hoppy at the front, sweet and malty at the finish. I got a little grassy and dry hoppiness in the mouth when cold, but it became more sweet (caramel and honey) the warmer it became. Not bad, pretty average

Sep 4, 2006 Bottle: Pours to a clear medium amber with a small light tan head that quickly dies. The aroma is fruity hops, a bit of alcohol, very light bubblegum, a touch of sweet caramel, light spicy rye, and melon. Taste is bitter, fruity hops that show some pine, citrus, juicy sweet grapefruit, spicy rye, sweet caramel, a syrup taste almost like coke though it’s not syrupy in texture, with just a small amount of alcohol present on the palate. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sticky on the palate.

Aug 31, 2006 Pours a cloudy amber with a thin white head. I think that it should have been clear but that I dumped the yeast in because I wasn’t paying attention. Very fruity aroma - almost like a fruit juice. Also hints of malt, but I didn’t get a lot of hoppiness. Smelled like a doppelbock to me. It’s surprisingly thick as well as carbonated in the mouth. The flavors are pretty subdued (well, at least compared to the description), but do well together. I didn’t pick up any rye, but it was quite malty throughout, with only a hint of bitterness. I don’t know if this one was brewed a while ago and the hops have died down or whaat, but this wasn’t much like an IPA to me. Although not even an ale, this really seemed more like a malty doppelbock to me. I can see where other people got cloying from. I don’t really agree, but as it goes down, it definitely leaves a sweet, almost fruit juice taste in the back of your mouth. If you’re OK with that (and I am), it was quite enjoyable.
