Amber in color; unfiltered, so it is not crystal clear. Quite bitter with a balance of malty caramel-like sweetness. Aroma is of intense dry hopping; meaning-lots of hops were added late in the beer making process, post boiling.

12 oz. bottle courtesy goryshkewych... Thanks George! Best before 5/16/08, so it’s a little past it’s prime. Hazy dark reddish color with almost no head. Almost no bitterness and signs of infection in the aroma. Very malty taste with notes of hops, grain and infection. Almost drinkable, but not quite. Full bodied. There are signs of a good beer here, and I’d love to try this one fresh. 3/3/4/4/9

On tap at Kuhnhenn. Rather light body, but hit with a strong punch of piney, citrusy, bright hops that lingered long into the finish. Clean, easy-drinking, and well-made.

Hazy golden ale, dark, with a thcik creamy white head. Nice herbal hops, floral. In mouth, a crisp smooth malt with floral hops, clove field, orange peels and citrus. Medium bodied. Mondial 2006.

2004 nitro tap. Dark yellow/golden-orange, very bright and consistent color with, of course, a huge, creamy off-white nitro head. Aroma of fresh fruity and spicy hops, not overly citric or floral, just juicy and round smelling. Flavor is juicy, lightly citric, and very hoppy. It dosent kill you with bitterness and it’s got plenty of creamy honey-flavored malt balance. Finish is a mix of fruitiness (pear, peach and apricot skin) with some resemblance to an orange creamsicle. Very drinkable. Nitro IPA is a cool idea and it works well. The fresh, bright, hoppy flavors break through the usually restraining character of nitrogen. It adds a wonderful element of creaminess and drinkability.
