Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

It was everything I expected from a fine light Spicy and Hops crazy Beer, Not as strong as the tasty Lagunitas Hop Stuupid, or As amazing as Stone Brewing Co.s Arrogant Bastard, but will definitely please your pallet with its medium Hops taste and smooth overall tones. A seasonal beer, It has an aroma full of hops, vanilla and caramel. Winter Solst
