Feb 26, 2006 Bright golden-amber colour. Peachy hop nose with some malt to back it up. Moderate bitterness, chewy caramel malts. Much better than expected, and if anything the hops might be a bit harsh in the finish.

Feb 17, 2006 Bottled. Clear reddish golden, no head. Aroma of grapefruit and crystal malt. Sweet with grainy malt flavour and lots of grapefruity hops plus some salt on top of that. Striking resiny bitterness. A simple, straightforward easy drinking beer, but with loads of bitterness.

Jan 20, 2006 Definitely my personal favorite of the night. The hops aroma was just simply perfect IMO. The flowery aroma was just near perfect. The flavor profile was definitely malty but a bit nutty like almonds, and it had a nice hop character as well that was pleasing. Like their other beers, this is done very well and it rated the highest for the night.

Jul 18, 2005 Draft. Amber color. Malts are there in the flavor, with just a hint of spice from hops, but the body is light, slightly watery.

Mar 18, 2005 Updated: Dec 3, 2005 Nose of simcoe hops. Very clean and dry malt forward mouthfeel with a mildly nutty flavor. Resinous and clean finish. Nice session beer. This beer is a totally different beer than previous iterations, the only thing remotely the same is the name. It is now a very dry and clean hop bomb. My new fave " session brew" if you can call 60+ IBUs a session beer. And at only 4.9% abv the hops smack you in the face with a wonderful hop blast. This is a rerate.
