Jan 2, 2009 12 oz. bottle (from notes 12/07). Pours amber with a medium sized off white head. The aroma is malty with a hint of yeast. The hops are more piney than anything else. The flavor is bitter and aggressive on the tongue. Flavors of chewy toasted malts, honey, pine, some citrus and floral hops as well. There is a split top wheat bread character that comes through as it warms. Dry bitter finish. This was solid fresher, but changed as it aged quite a bit.

Dec 13, 2008 12oz bottle. Dark gold pour with a white head. Mmmm...smells like an IPA. Very nice hop bite, lasts on the tongue for awhile. Very nice.

Oct 29, 2008 This is an 06 vintage, so take the rating with a grain of salt. I’m sure it isn’t the same beer. Pour is copper with a nice head...good lacing left behind in the glass. Aroma is odd...hops, malt and cedar? Really, smells woody. This is very bitter...astringent and dry. This beer was probably really good when fresh, but hitting the average mark now.

Sep 3, 2008 A little one-dimensional. Big, floral and citrusy hops on the nose. Pungent! Nice! Impressive! Delicious hop flavor. Bitter, citrusy and lively carbonation. Nice, but nothing new to this palate. Definitely an enjoyable, unique brew, but doesn’t really break away from the pack in any significant way.

Jul 30, 2008 Love the hops on this monster! There is nothing like a beer that smells like a flower and tastes like like acid. Yum!

Jul 5, 2008 Pretty nice amber color with a white head leaving excellent lacing. Nice smell of pine, citrus, biscuit and caramel. Nice smell, just doesn’t shoot out of glass like I had hoped. Starts out with caramel but quickly pine and citrus take over. Pretty nice, but could be better. Low carbonation and medium bodied. Pretty good and would have it again, I just wouldn’t go way out of my way for it.

Feb 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to ogglethorp. Nice amber pour with big off-white head. Citurs and bready nose. Great big hoppy bite up front, with orange peel all over the tongue. Nice mouthfeel, that really sticks to the palate. Very bitter, yet there is still a nice carmalized sweetness from the malt that shows towards the finish.
