Consumed on April 11th, 2012 from a bottle labeled 2011 release.

Beer pours a clear, copper/amber/orange. Nice pillowy two finger off-white head. Hangs around a long time.

Strong aromas of orange, grapefruit and pine.

Biscuit and caramel malts lead off with resiny, peppery, spicy and grapefruit hop follow up. Well modulated bitterness at the end: significant but not overbearing.

Medium bodied and very slightly dry.

Fine, fine beer. If you have the hops jones but aren't a full-on hophead, this will scratch that itch just right.

Poured into becker pint glass. Dark orange with a beautiful, thick fluffy white head that isn't going anywhere fast. Smells floral and hoppy, a bit of citrus, and clean malts in the background. Taste is incredibly well-balanced; a bit spiky up front, but it smooths out in the middle and finishes with a delightfully bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste seems to also have an aftertaste, which is sweet again. Love this beer.
