On tap at the brewpub in Munster. This came in an imperial pint glass rich amber color with a minimal white head (pub pour) and light lacing. Nose of citrus and fruit hops, and a tiny bit of pine. A very smooth and cream mouthfeel. Flavor is of citrus and pine. Great bitter finish. I was amazed at how good this beer tasted. I don’t know if it is balance or what, but this is fantastic stuff.

Amber in color with a small, off white head with decent lacing. The aroma is fruity with overtones of yeast and hops. The flavor is ov bitter grapefruit. Creamy in texture. Very bitter but a good beer overall.

Bottle from Lone Hill Liquors. Pours with a small, off-white head. Hazy amber body. Aroma of grapefruit hops, lots of other light fruits, a bit of yeast and a bit of caramel. Very nice sweet, grapefruit taste and some nuts. Creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation. If this beer was easly available I would have it all the time as a standard paring to anything that came off my grill.

Pour is an orange with a large white head. Aroma is deffinatly hoppy with some caramel and rye. Flavor is and outstanding hop with some earhtyness and a stong pine. For a 6% beer this thing is loaded with flavor that some imperial IPA’s could only hope for.
