Dec 12, 2005 Medium creamy white head over light brown clear body. Aroma of citrusy pine hops so harmoniously blended with sweet caramel malts that the two can hardly be told apart. Deep, sweet, malty taste of nuts, combined with bitterness, citrus, and pine needles. Soft, bitter aftertaste. Glorious! World class! It’s really the EKG hops that make this one.

Dec 8, 2005 Bottle at ’December at DougShoemaker’s 2005’ -- courtesy of DougShoemaker. Vintage 2000. Pours a hazy dark orange with a spare diminishing creamy white head. Aroma is fruity with some malt and a touch of hops. The flavour is predominently sweet malt and it tastes O.K. but there’s a slightly unpleasant aftertaste -- perhaps staleness due to the age of the bottle? Decent but ultimately dissapointing.

Dec 8, 2005 Bottle, Doug’s, Christmas ’05. Dark orange, small white head. Musty hops, slight malt in aroma. Strong pepper like hops in taste, as well as a little smoke. Quite flavourful malt sweetness. Pretty decent, seemed a little old though.

Amber coloured beer with plenty of fruit aroma. There’s also a spicy taste which I found to be more prominent than when I last tried this beer in the bottle format. Some dryness, bitterness and malt in the finish.

Nov 28, 2005 Young’s is an odd brewery. I can never figure out whether to be disappointed or impressed b/c while their beers aren’t bad, they’re kind of unmemorable. So I take a break and then drink another Young’s beer and wonder, have I rated this before? They provoke an odd sense of rating deja-vu. As beers go, this was pleasant but forgettable. A round, soft, toffee flavor overlays all, with an herbal beginning to the hops, a lift by carbonation in the middle, and a floral finish.

Nov 27, 2005 Great perfume on the nose of this beer -- pine, grapefruit, bubblegum and toffee malts. In appearance, the beer is a rich amber and brilliant in the glass. Taste is a hops adventure, from bite to fruit to a piney finish. Palate is consistent with a champagne-like expression of bubbles as the beer leaves the tongue.
