Sep 5, 2009 Bottle. Thanks JB. Medium amber color with a thin, lacy head. Big citrus hop aroma with caramel and sweet amber malt. Nice malt flavor: slightly earthy, with rich caramel and swee malt, piney hops, and a strongly bitter finish. Big flavored amber with good hopping. I like it.

Sep 4, 2009 Serving: Draft from a firkin.
Appearance: Pours a hazy, dirty brown with a small, creamy, light tan head. Great head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Decent pine hop nose, light floral notes, and some caramel malt aromas. Not as forthcoming as I was expecting from Troegs.
Taste: Very hop forward with strong floral and soap notes. Light pine notes lurk there as well. From the malt side I get light biscuit notes. Okay, but a little on the soapy side for my liking.
Palate: Low carbonation (to be expected from a firkin) with a medium, slightly dry mouthfeel. Medium, bitter finish.
Overall: The dryness gives it an almost airy mouthfeel. This one is decent and sessionable, but I would like to try it on tap as well.
Rebuy: Yes, but I want to try the regular draft and bottled versions.

Aug 22, 2009 Draft. Pours reddish amber with medium off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some fruit, floral notes, and sweet malt. Flavor is more of the same, and very well balanced. Light body, bitter but not overwhelmingly so, and finishes with a crisp, clean bite.

Aug 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Apple red color with a lacy white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy and fruity. Flavors are well blended and quite delicious. Fruity, floral, just enough bitterness.
