Aug 16, 2009 Had it on tap and it was fabulous, very good tasting (not overpowering) hop flavor, like Stone Levitation Ale, about a 4.9. On my way home I stopped off at the store and bought a 6 pack of it, which unfortunately tasted nothing at all like it did on tap. The bottled variety had a yucky overpowering lemony/juniper taste and was one of the worst beers I’ve ever dumped out, a 1.0! My advice is to only buy it on tap & to always insist on a sample first.

Aug 15, 2009 Not a bad offering here, at all. Pours a nice amber into the glass, with a fluffy head that leaves generous circular-ring lace. The nose is of a spiced-pine floral hop. The flavors are just slightly this side of underdone. They have some nice citrus notes upfront, light toast in the mid-palate, malt throughout, and a small pine finish. The flavors, as far as the mouthfeel is concerned, are somewhat underdone and light, with a medium-light body. This is a very good brew, and one that was a nice surprise.

Aug 14, 2009 Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense GBBF 09. A mid brown to chestnut coloured beer with no head. The aroma is long and hoppy with good fruits. The taste is nice and fruity hoppy too with some sweet berry notes. Easy drinking but needs a touch more depth.

Aug 10, 2009 Thin copper color on the pour. White head. Some lacing. The aroma was thin citrus and pine. The flavor was citrus and fruity that are cut short by a sharp pine and metallic flavor. The mouthfeel is thin, the finish succinct.
