Oct 9, 2009 2009-10-09. Dark amber body, small foamy beige head fades. Mild aroma of green leafy hops, touch of caramel malt. Flavour is lightly bitter, mild green leafy hops over smooth but modest sweet caramel malt, light toasty touches to the malt. Average plus palate is lightly carbonated. Decent, pleasantly quaffable but a touch muted overall. I suspect it has a bit more zip closer to the bottling date, but there is no best before on the bottle. Bottle from Premier Gourmet

Sep 28, 2009 Pours a nice copper color. Aroma is of hops...good and promising. Taste is a bit tart, thin and not that enjoyable. One very bland but above average ambers.

Sep 23, 2009 Rich, complex hop aroma, good carbonation, and ample hop lace promise a hop bomb. The flavor delivers deep, lasting hop presence, balanced between citrus and earthy bitterness, and finishes long with its dry hopping. The caramel malt does not quite offset the massive hop infusion, but the blend of hops can be admired on its own.

12 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from msante79. Thanks, Mark! Pours a pretty dark hazy amber, a decent tannish head on top that dies to a film, laces some. Aromas are a decent aromatic hoppiness, citrus and florals, a bit muted, with some underlying caramel malts. Lemon rind and grapefruit, the malt is tamer than anticipated. Initial is lighter, a bit watery with some decent lemon citrusy hop and a light caramel maltiness, vaguely toasty, a watery type body. Backend moves to a bit of blandness, lightly hoppy bitter and sweet and toasy malt on the backend. Ok, finish is a bit bland but certainly quaffable. Ok overall.
