Sampler at Blue Star, Seattle. Hazy golden/amber body. Flowery aroma, sweet taste: rape, oranges and some malt. A tad too much carbonation. (With Stefan 19.Dec 2008)

Hazy light amber color. The aroma is unexpected, as it shows a clear manure character, followed by some dusty cereals and straws, then very light passion fruit; peculiar but interesting. Lean mouthfeel, quite dry, with a good cereals flavor, straws, some dry resins from the hop, light piney feeling, strong bitterness.
A mutant beer, always good though.

Amber color, with small head (big German mug). Mild but balanced aroma of malt and hop, some of the qualities come out slowly, delicate fruits and some piney resins; more delicate than powerful. Nice toffee flavor with some caramel, lean and clean, with very good hopping, providing correct bitterness and mild fruity notes.
Notable for its perfect balance.

Cloudy light amber color, small head. The aroma is hoppy, mildly fruity; but also grassy, and with an impression of wood and smoke. Dry mouthfeel; caramel and toffee flavor, a bit dusty; strong bitterness, resiny and creamy, but not enough fruity. Creamy toffeish final, long. Pleasant but not impressive.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a little copper glow and a thick, luscious tan head. Aroma of pungent hops, grapefruit, pine, resin and a lot of alcohol tucked inside. Medium-bodied; Pungent bitterness of pine and grapefruit with a little effervescence, a good amount of alcohol and a pleasant resiny, dry finish. Aftertaste is nice and dry, pungent from the hops and showing a very small amount of citrus sweetness. Overall, a very nice IPA, showing great complexity, a nice hoppy character and a pleasant amount of sweetness and dryness - great to sample. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 13-February-2011 sampled at home in Washington on St. Patrick’s Day, 17-March-2011.

Matt from 3R6P brought this one to a beer gathering. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel color with a small foamy beige head that faded quickly. The aroma was dry, citric, perfumey and floral. The flavor was sour caramel, floral hops and light notes of perfume, citrus and nut. Dryish and a bit off - almost sulfuric. The finish was long with sour caramel and floral hops lingering. Medium body. Eh.

bottle at Fort Wayne tasting - Pours slightly hazy light copper and smells mainly of grapefruit hops. The flavor has pleasantly crisp, strong hops bitterness with fruity and earthy tones. It’s medium bodied and enjoyable.
