Pours a dark amber with a tall, long lasting, off-white head. Lots of chunks from the bottom of the bottle. Yeast? Mild grapefruit hop aroma along with some malt. The flavor is lightly bitter with a medium light mouth feel.

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA, on 8/30/10. Pours a clear amber color with a thin frothy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Faint aroma of earthy, herbal hops with a bit of caramel. The taste is earthy hops, nutty notes and toffee. Lingering bitterness. Medium bodied.

Rich, dense copper coloured body with a super hazy orange glow and a thin tan head. Aroma of bright, strong, high alpha acid hops, a touch of citrus and a lot of pine - nice and cloying! Medium-bodied; Strong, super assertive and bittering hops that hit like metal and resin. Very nice and pungent bitterness at the finish with a touch of light herbal sweetness, but a lot of hops, a good balance of malt and way more hops - nice. Overall, a super potent and very hoppy finish with a good malt balance, slight amount of sweetness, but this one really is all about the hops. Probably as hoppy as you can get for a beer with this gravity - but it’s well enjoyed by me! I’d recommend this for people who REALLY like hops, but don’t necessarily like Imperial IPAs (like me). This one is lighter in alcohol than those, but still high. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Ye Olde Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-July-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 11-September-2010 (9 year anniversary).
