Clear orange. Big head. Soft steady hop scent, slightly spicy. Hop flavour is twice as strong as the aroma. Solid light woody notes. Slow but steady march to a mouth drying finisth. A hint of varnish.

16oz can from kyzr. Pours clearish amber with a moderate sized, white head, some lace. Smells malty sweet nutty with some grassy hops. Tastes sweet malty but with a nice balance of bitter citrus hops on the finish. Lingering bitterness. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

on tap at the Iron Horse in Missoula, MT. deep gold/amber, slightly hazy, with a frothy head. it smelled bitter, but the aroma lacked the artful fruity or floral notes of a superb IPA. taste was satisfying, with strong hops. balance was a little off -- it could have used a sweeter malt base -- but it really hit home for a hophead such as myself. some lime and grapefruit flavors attempted to assert themselves. overall, the bitterness had a more earthy, herbal quality. as the pint diminished, the bitter finish continued to assault my palate. if you like that sort of thing, then definitely try this brew when visiting beautiful Montana. it’s also cool that they can this brew, and I look forward to tasting it that way.

Can via trade with Kyzr. Pours a coppery color with an off white head. Aroma is citrus, caramel, pine. Flavor is much the same. Medium body, medium carbonation, finished bitter. Decent.

29 mar 08. 16oz can. deep golden color, white head. Pine aroma. Sweet taste. Lots of honey. Light, but nice bitterness.
