Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Pour was dark golden/amber. Aroma was strong with simcoe hops (big surprise) and a malty character. Alcohol was hidden well in this brew. Flavor had a hint of pine trees but was well balanced. I don’t prefer simcoe hops only but this concoction seemed to work out. Good brew.

Nov 20, 2008 From bottle. Pours hazy amber with decent head and lacing. Huge hop aroma. Good balance of hops and malt flavors. This is my first Simcoe-only brew. Excellent effort.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a hazy dark golden amber color with a lusciously thick light tan head. Aromas of pineapple and citrus reach the nose while the pint glass is still on the table. Closer sniffing reveals background notes of pine and hints of malt. Remarkably thick yet subdued mouthfeel leads into a layered finish beginning with bit more of the citrus from the aroma, but leading into a large amount of slowly developing grapefruity quinine-esque bitterness which sticks around for quite a while.

Nov 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Big thanks to abcfan for this one. Aroma is hops, earthy notes, pine and a hint of citrus. Flavor is hoppy but earthy. Good hop bitterness with some pine and citrus. Finsihes bitter with a little soapyness. Mouthfeel is medium but could use some more carbonation. Definitly a different take on the style with all the earthy flavors. Not my favorite but was enjoyable none the less.

Nov 2, 2008 Beer wasa hazy orange color. Nose is grapefruit, hops, and other citrus. Taste is a little disappointing to me. Very piney and not enough of that grapefruit that was on the nose. Still pretty complex though.

Nov 1, 2008 12oz bottle. Nice orange/brown color. Nice fresh hop aroma, grassy and citrusy. Sharp hop bitterness initially, lasts for awhile too. Very tasty brew.
