Gold Color with Orange Hue. Off White Head. Bittersweet Very Fresh Smelling Hops. Medium Bodied with a Hazed Hop Mouthfeel. Subtle Pine and Ctirus Notes...Fresh Dry Hop Flavor..with a Light Wet Hop Flavor Also...Light Sweet Malt Taste in the Background, Balancing out the Hop Dominated Flavor..Very Solid and Just Balanced Enough to Enjoy the Fresh Hop Flavors.

Jan 20, 2007 Winterfest 2007...Hazy colored pour. Heavy grapefruit and citrus nose, very enticing. However, for me the goodness kind of stops there. The massive bitterness detracts from this brew and is rough on the palate IMO. I think two hearted uses a lot of centennial hops, but it is much easier to enjoy. Just a little too bitter; which is surprising for a hop head like myself.

Oct 31, 2006 Lovely orange. Good cream head, dense. A pretty amazing sense of hoppiness, vibrant, attractive aroma. But the flavor is too intense. Incredibly long lasting bitterness. It being on cask added a great dimension that wouldn’t have been there. This pushes hops as far as I’ve seen it, which may or may not be a good thing. (cask at brewpub)

Oct 29, 2006 22 oz bottle, courtesy of footbalm. I love hops, dont get me wrong, but this one was just rediculous. They certainly aren’t kidding by saying that this beer is "fresh", because it actually tasted like a pine tree. Or a sprig of rosemary. I remember years ago, I made a batch of homebrew and I decided I was going to throw in tons of hops.....except, I didnt do any homework and check what would be adequate......the result was a very piney, rough beverage. This one reminded me of that beer.

Oct 25, 2006 Sampled draught at the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, October 7 2006. Faintly hazy gold with a thick lasting white head....just massively fresh hoppy nose, lots of citric acidic character but it settles down quickly into something like a grapefruit-creme candy with whiffs of wet spruce, ending up fairly soft, inviting and sweet....until it hits the lips which sense the strongest fresh orange/grapefruit juice texture that they’ve ever experienced, tongue-numbingly acidic and bitter, endlessly continuing through to the long, long finish....thankfully there’s just enough light pale malt to carry through and keep it readily drinkable. Pretty terrific.
