Sep 7, 2006 If this beer was human then it would be Alan Shore from Boston Legal because it was breathtakingly good with the cigar I was smoking at the time. Loads of character, smooth and a deep luscious ruby gold colour. An automatic choice for those late, after work, day finishing balcony benders. Grand.

Sep 4, 2006 Deep copper color presenting dense cream colored head which diminishes rather slowly. Earthy hop aroma from generous dry hoping coupled with strong malt undertones. Upfront bitterness upon entry backed by malt and caramel notes that results in balanced flavor. It is a full bodied beer with a just the right amount of carbonation. Very enjoyable ale.

Sep 2, 2006 Bottle. Amber with a frothy offwhite head. Strong citrus and grassy hops aroma with some moderate maltiness in the background. Maltiness is stronger in the flavours, but the citrus hoppiness is still dominant. Some darker fruits also.Good bitterness throughout. A great ale!

Aug 30, 2006 Updated: Oct 16, 200616.9 oz bottle. Large mousse-like foamy white head. Beer is clear amber. Very nice floral biscuity aroma. Taste starts very sweet caramel,followed by some earthiness and a touch of lemon and then a smooth balanced finish with both hops and malts playing together quite nicely. Medium bodied. A hint of alcohol and subtle hazlenut in the aftertaste. I LOVE how they have used the hops in this Ale. Masterful. A very smooth and very refreshing ale.

Aug 26, 2006 Bottle. Aromas of wheat grass, lemon, citrus and pine lead to a surprising first sip that has a pleasantly estery character. Lots of yeast in this thing, as it’s a bottle-maturing live ale. Tastes quite fresh and lively, while still dry and complex. This might benefit from lighter carbonation, which was a bit harsh. Still, this is a wonderful strong ale that can still be savored in summer months.

Aug 23, 2006 Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a frothy beige head, nice toasted malt, hint of citrus flowery hops, and fruitiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasted bready malt character, with a toffee note, caramelized malt, with a herbal and citrus hops accent, leading towards a grassy, hoppy bitterness finish.

Aug 14, 2006 Bottle: Poured a medium brown color ale with a large foamy head with pretty good retention. Aroma of sweet malt and subtle hops is quite enjoyable. Taste is a well balance mix between caramel malt and crisp English hops. Body is above average and carbonation is good. Very well done for the style and very refreshing overall.
