12 oz can purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, Nebraska. Pour is mostly clear golden orange with a tight one inch off white head. Falls with thick sticky lacing. Aroma of fresh pine hops, lighter resin grapefruit citrus, earthy toasty malt behind that. Fresh and nice. Taste is big pine, catty, resin grapefruit layered on top of thinnish toasty malt. Taste follows the nose nicely, though is not quite as put together. Palate is thin, a bit watery and mostly the hops. Finish is bitter, resin and mineral. Nice, though really gave the sensation of hop water.

22 oz bottle, capped and waxed. Brought to a party and shared by my friend Kevin. Pour is hazed golden light orange with a one inch off white head that fell pretty fast. Aroma of sweet, sugary Belgian Candi Sugar, along with caramel roasted malt and some additional apple / orange fruit sweetness. Quite a bit going on in the nose, strong and a little unbalanced. Taste is big on the Candi Sugar, followed closely by spicy, grassy yeastiness and finally finishing with the toasted malt. As with the nose, the flavors are all present, but a bit un-integrated. Palate is medium, finish has some alcohol.

Can from mj. Pour is beautiful, the body is a lightly hazy orange copper, glowing color. A thick, rich, foamy head, just dying to expand sits on top. As it fades it leaves a thick trail of lacing on the sides of the glass. An aroma of mainly piny hops and just a touch of sweet candied hops. Taste is much less piny and has more sweet hops with a long sweet hops aftertaste. A nice medium bitterness throughout the beer. Slightly dry after the sweetness passes. IPA, fresh, clean, and hoppy, it don’t take a rocket scientist. I like the cans, before this nothing from SKA has impressed me..
12oz can, Bells tulip glass.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed orange body. Aroma has tons of hops, grassy and weed like, with a herbal note. Caramel too. Taste is citrus, grassy and caramel. Effervescent to lively carbonation, water like mouthfeel.

Pour outta the can is a dark orange with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lots of pine and grapefruit. Flavor is fresh hops with a stong malty sweetness. Finsh leaves a hop resin with a little bitterness. This was a very nice suprise. The best thing this brewer puts out by far.

Sample at O-town throwdown ’09 Pours dark brown. Aroma is loaded with bourbon and oak wood Taste, good notes of wood barrel bourbon, and surprisingly sour for a scotch ale. In the mix there are light hints of fruits and sweet sugar.

Courtesy of jdubFL. Pours deep gold with thin white head. The mild aroma is mixed with malts, a sense of citrus and wet hair. Hmmm. The taste is as interesting as the nose with an initial pulse of pine and citrus hops then moving toward odd malty notes that seem earthy, lightly roasty, tea and crystal malts. A decent level of hops keeps their presence from front to back. I guess it is the odd earthiness and the way it plays with the other notes that is making the experience unique.
