Pours hazy copper with a large, lasting head.
Nose shows pine, grapefruit and resinous hops along with a fair whack of clean malt.
Spicy hops at the forefront of the flavours, also some grapefruit and a tongue-coating chewy bitterness.
Way too much carbonation.

Bottle is one I'll remember..oddly shaped stubby bottle.

A- Cloudy dark orange with small head with retaining around the edges of glass and small islands
S- Smells of citrus and grapefruit.
T- First a small amount of malt, then overwhelming amount of bitterness
M- medium to thick body with a decent amount of carbonation

Overall this is a beer I wouldn't drink again.

Big thanks goes out to beeruser for sharing this one at a recent tasting. Served from bottle into a Mikkeller oversized wine glass. Poured a hazy murky yellow-orange with a minimal white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, leather, citrus, citrus hop, and earth. The flavor was of sweet malt, leather, and wood. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this brew really wasn't that good. The leather on this thing was truly just too much for my palate to handle. The other 3 people at the tasting compared this thing to 'eating a baseball mit'. That pretty much summed it up for me. Glad I got to tick this one, but it will definitely never see my palate ever again. Tick.
