Mar 20, 2007 (Tokyo) A deep amber orange color with a small beige head. Strong, near acidic piney scent. Potent bitter, I’m still trying to shake a cold yet the bitterness cuts through it. Creamy feel with a bittersweet follow, nice!

Mar 17, 2007 Pours golden with a slight reddish tint and a large off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Strong pine and citrus, with a little hay. Flavor dissapoints, doesn’t match aroma. Muted bitter, dry hops. Citrus and pine, with a hint of hay. Dry, mildly bitter finish. Medium body. Not well balanced or complex.

Dec 7, 2006 I reached into my Wagner Valley box to pull out a Sled Dog Doppelbock and this came out. I had forgotten I had one of these sitting around. I had to try it then and forgo the anticipated Doppelbock for another time. This had the expected hoppy aroma and flavor. I’m glad it did not have a big hoppy bite with it like some IPA’s do.

Nov 28, 2006 sample at the brewery - looked better than it tasted. Nice nose, out of balance on the palate.

Nov 22, 2006 Poured with no head, which made me kind of disappointed. No lacing. But the taste wasn’t too bad. Very perfumy nose, a light character and a nice hoppy bite. Maybe my bottle was a little aged and maybe some batches are inconsistent as most ratings show a frothy off-white head.

Nov 3, 2006 Updated: Jun 4, 2007piney fresh aroma, taste not as appealing...A little too smooth for me...Could use more bite. re-rate, 06/04/2007- draft- beer is way too carmel malty for me. Remains unbalanced in the wrong direction for an ipa.
