(35.5cl bottle) Hazy, deep golden to amber colour with a medium-sized, slightly tanned foamy head. Intensively orange-fruity hoppy aroma with notes of hay and pine needles, backed by a delicate (cara-)malty sweetness. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a calm carbonation. Soft malty base with pronounced lemon-, orange- and peach fruity hops. Dry and moderately bitter finish with a lasting aftertaste of aromatic and fruity hops. Wunderbar (18.II.09).

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Hazy copper orange colour, dense orange-white head. Really strong citrus aroma, mainly grapefruit and bitter hops. Flavour is bitter, grapefruit and oranges, hops upfront, a little caramel sweetness to balance the bitterness, with an earthy dry grapefruit bitter finish that lingers.

Straw colour. Bright simcoe nose with lots of candyish notes. Bitter with bright hops, a sweeter middle and a high alcohol finish. Doesn’t quite come together.

courtesy of cigarcitybrew. Pours black, brown head. Aroma is hoppy, with some smoked malts. Taste, dark fruits (cherry), some nice roasted malts. Low carbonation with chocolate notes. Alcohol is well hidden, but remains warming on the palate. The beer is very smooth, thick and grainy.
