Returning my phone today for a replacement to replace the defective replacement and this write up was perfect timing and worked flawlessly. Thank You! LCH
I followed the stock recovery method but when I try to apply the update.zip file it says failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) and then signature verification failed. And yes I do have the file on the root of my sd card.. thoughts? I cant get the superuser icon off my phone

"...life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
yup.. I deleted it and put it back on the sd card a few times and tried but still same message. Btw a lil backround is I flashed the stock 2.2 image from ROM manager before about a week back but it never got rid of the superuser icon so this is why im trying this method
EDIT: and I tried running all the rooted apps like drocap and setcpu but none worked so im assuming I dont have root but the superuser wont go away
EDIT: If it's all on your phone, and you're viewing in Astro, when you see it in the list of files/directories on the root of your SD card in Astro (or whatever), does it say "update.zip" or simply "update" ?

"...life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
Nice write up, this is now stuck.
jntdroid, I guess great minds think alike. I was formulating this very guide last week, but getting my server and guides restored was first on my mind. Now that that's done I started last night to edit/rewrite my unroot guide on my site and was going to do it with these exact steps, i.e. using all three of the different recoveries.
good job.
p.s., though could you spell my user name correctly, please?? hehehe . . . .

River2Sea S-Waver - $12.99 to $34.99
Swimbaits continue to leave a major footprint on the fishing industry, and River2Sea's new S–Waver is set to make her mark. Featuring a natural "S-Action" swimming motion, S-Waver will seductively wake the surface and call big gamefish in for a closer look. Hold your rod tip up and S–Waver is a surface lure, allow the bait to slowly sink and the S-Action continues under water. The S-Action swimming motion is created by River2Sea's exclusive Pin and Tenon Hinge and accentuated by her soft PVC tail. That seductive wake will only be interrupted by the explosion of a massive strike.
|S-Waver 120
|S-Waver 168s
|S-Waver 200
Comments: Awful! Swims like Jaws at Universal Studio. Only dinks will hit it and don't hit it hard. Don't waste your time trying it. The worst SB ever IMO. Only works burning it fast with 8:1 reel. Doesn't even look like a reel fish. What fish swims like an S? No rattles either. So sad. And the bigger one is a bigger disappointment. Needs 5 more joints.
From: Outcast: San Jose, CA 4/15/14
Comments: Awesome bait for the money... downside is the mass-produce garbage you get sometimes doesn't work.. Bought two rainbow trouts that had a perfect glide and ROF... Bought a two herrings and one wouldn't glide and the other sank faster than a rock. Now im very skeptical on buying anymore herring WHICH WAS MY FAVORITE COLOR!
From: Leroy: USA
Comments: Amazing bait. Just bought two in the Konanee color. Very productive for stripers and large mouth. Only thing I have to tell you need to upgrade the treble hooks. Although EXTREMELY sharp and sticky, they are by no means durable enough for what you can catch on this bait. Good job River2Sea on this one.
From: Brien: Castaic California
Comments: prolly my all time fav. Glide/swimbait to toss, infact I use this more n prefer it over my roman made n gancraft (not at all saying this is better then those 2, I just have A LOT of confidence in this lure) if u want this to float/wake then tie it on mono and keep ur rod tip high.DO NOT use braid, it kills the action of this lure n makes it sink.I caught a limit on this lure in 3 1/2 hours at a local tourn. winning with a 5 limit weight of just over 27 lbs...i start out tossing the 6" one if they arnt biting or just hitting it then I go to the small one, these work, work VERY well n for the price I keep a stock pile, my fav colors r party crasher, lite trout n midnight.
From: Steveo
Comments: I normally don't do reviews but this swimbait is so good I just had to review it , it swims so smooth and really does a perfect s-action you can even put slack in your line and jerk it one time and the bait will turn completely around do not by no means be fooled by the cheap price this swimbait competes with the deps and Romans honestly you can't beat it for the budget
From: James: 706,Georgia
Comments: Swims great but does not float. I got the 4 inch model and it sinks like a Rattletrap.
From: Jason: San Jose, CA USA
Comments: Such a great lure! Awesome action in the water but spins so bad while casting. A must have lure overall
From: Joesph: Freetown MA
Comments: It tumbles a lot during the cast. Looks pretty good in the water though.
Comments: Best Hard swimbait for the money without a doubt. Anyone who throws swimbaits and hasn't tried one yet needs to.
From: Colby: Crofton, MD
Comments: Great bait overall! For the price of it, its not hard to purchase a few of them. But it sure doesn't float like it say's it does.
From: Alec: Santa Rosa, CA
Comments: For the price...this is BY far one of the best swimbaits out there. I have caught fish on both sizes. I LOVE the S wave in any swimbait, but this one works great. I would only suggest a heavier version so it could get down deeper faster. This thing must be worked slow and steady...For the price buy a few colors !!!
From: Peter: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: used it on Clearlake ca last month wieghed in 26.5 lbs first day of the TOC
From: Pat: Arroyo Grande, CA
Comments: Love the action on this, have not had any real time on the water testing. I will be on the St. Lawrence for four days and plan to put this lure to the test.
From: NY
Comments: This is the first swimbait I could get a smallie to eat.They are deadly on big smallies.
From: Ron: Smokey Point, WA
Comments: This thing rocks on the smallmouth! Swim it...twitch twitch...kill it and HANG ON! Has been my most productive bait this year!
From: Jason: Washington, USA
Comments: Nice S action on a slow retive. Can be a bit mechanical. great overall lure.

In recent decades, Uganda has experienced the damaging effects of civil conflict within its borders and political instability in neighbouring countries. A civil war fought across the Acholi subregion in the north has left much of the population there displaced in camps and transit sites. Instability in the Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has led thousands of refugees to seek asylum in the West Nile and Southwest subregions of western Uganda.
However, there are now potential opportunities for resolving some of these longstanding crises. The initiation of peace talks between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda in 2006 has rekindled hope for a resolution of this conflict and the predicament of the internally displaced in camps. The signing of the Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005 has likewise increased the prospect that Sudanese refugees in West Nile will be able to return home. However, violence is likely to continue in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, leading to further refugee influxes into the Southwest subregion.
In response to this changing context, the Government launched its Peace, Recovery, and Development Plan to mobilize human and financial resources for the conflict-affected areas; the plan provides a framework for the efforts of the humanitarian community. An external evaluation of the previous protracted relief and recovery operation (Uganda PRRO 10121.1) and the findings of several emergency food security assessments have confirmed the continued need for humanitarian assistance in the crisis-affected areas. Therefore, the overall goal of the proposed protracted relief and recovery operation is to support the Government's efforts to save lives and address acute malnutrition among internally displaced persons and refugees affected by protracted crises.
To achieve this goal, WFP and partners will address the immediate causes of undernutrition through an innovative relief programme. General distributions will be aimed at preventing beneficiaries from becoming malnourished; beneficiaries will receive either a food ration or cash/vouchers and will attend on-site sensitization about caring practices. Supplementary and therapeutic feeding will be provided for beneficiaries who are already malnourished, using a community-based approach and introducing locally developed nutritional products. These relief efforts will be phased out of two areas (Acholi and West Nile) over the course of the operation; complementary recovery activities in the country programme will support this transition.
This document represents a modification of PRRO 10121.2. In line with the Executive Board's request, it is streamlined with a clear focus on life-saving humanitarian assistance. The activities are consistent with the goals of WFP Strategic Objective 1 (saving lives and addressing acute malnutrition), Millennium Development Goal 1 (eradicating extreme poverty and hunger) and Goal 1 of the WFP country strategy for Uganda (preventing hunger-related deaths). They implement the new gender policy, with an emphasis on operational actions to support women. However, their success will depend upon continued positive political developments in Uganda and neighbouring countries.

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
Has anyone received an inquiry which appears bogus to you? What were the signs that made you think it was an attempt to get your email address for a phishing attack?
I have never had a situation where I felt that people were trying to get my email address.
I have been renting our place since 2010 and honestly I have never had an issue with email inquiries.
But I do get people calling the phone number I have listed (which rings into voicemail because I live several time zones from my property) who are unbelievably vague about date details etc when they are making initial contact. These messages typically have background noise similar to telemarketing calls which set off my spidey senses immediately. I never call these people back but I will get this type of call as often as once a week.
Part of my filtering process is that I just don't return calls to people who aren't specific about what dates they want etc. This is out of necessity because of the probability of "phone tag" is high as is the cost of a phone call (Skype is technically not allowed where I live).
I have had email inquiries that were too vague and left me feeling suspicious. Were they just wanting me to answer...to get my email validated? One email was: "interested. send details with price." They are always lower case...use "throw away" emails that are not traceable to any links online.
In general, it is too common that inquiries, I'm referring to legitimate ones, are "incomplete"....meaning missing relevant information that would give me a sense of trust for the inquirer.....like a full name, a working phone #, a real email address from the inquirer. This could be easily fixed if HA/VRBO would "mandate" that all fields in the inquiry form be completed --- or the form will not *send*.
I'd like to know who is contacting me....before I send them all my details. I'd like to "screen" before I reveal my property details to anyone. It's not a pefect world...I've successfully "screened" out people I didn't think were a "fit" for my place...I didn't want them here for various reasons...but it's getting harder to do.
The inquiry process is not a perfect system. It needs improvement. HA/VRBO can easily remedy this.
On phone calls.... I had gotten one phone call from someone, whom I believed, was just trying to get my email address....which I did not give. It was a person who claimed that he had been trying to "email me"...but couldn't get through....claimed something wrong with the address he had. Said that he was asking for information for his "mother" ...who is not email savvy ...just helping her....so could I confirm my email address, over the phone. I did not....I will not respond to such a request! He asked WHY...rather boldly...no etiquette. I hung up. That's how it happened. I only had this type of call one time.
There is a market for valid email addresses -- which are resold to other scammers...and used for phishing schemes. But, I have to tell you that VRBO, where I list, is giving out our email addresses enclosed with the "reply to inquirer". Please...can you guys cease doing that, for us owners?
We're trying to stay "safe" in an unsafe world while we handle strangers who want access to our homes. If I respond from my Outlook, then I'm giving them my email in the reply . But, for inquiries via VRBO, from where I get steady inquiries although not as many as in the past, I'd like to use the REPLY feature without offering them my email address...but I realized recently that you guys are 'exposing' it.
The "bulk" inquiry feature is sending inquiries regardless of calendar marked "booked"....and often I'm responding "regrets"...and I'd like to keep my email "private" in such a response. If I'm interested in the booking, I'd respond giving them my email...let me decide.
I recently had a situation with a local-based resident on my island that was trying to "book" my cottage {even though my calendar was "full"}...and I do not want him and his drunken girlfriend to know where I am. I used the *REPLY* feature thinking that "the system" protected my email address, and then realized that my email was exposed by you guys in the response form. Not good. I became nervous that he will find my exact street address by searching for my email address... and then "appear" at my door. He did exactly that to an owner that I know here...who told me was robbed by that couple when they stayed in his rental....{credit card fraud}.
Thank you for asking feedback and comment from users here. It's really important that we help you to shape a better, safer system to do business in. The best way to do that is to inform you at HA what is happening on the owner's end. Please help us to feel less vulnerable.
Agreed, I'm cautious about phone contact also. However, one of the ways I avoid issues is contacting the renter by phone. Our area is fun for young adults and I require a min 24 primary renter. If they use "Dude" or other "youth-biased" vernacular [haha, like writing a note in chat language; "do u hav cabin 4 fri 2 sun?"] I call them if it gets to the point that they want to move forward. I've probably reduced party damage by at least 3 events
Well Chris, looks like you'll have practice up, here is a good start:
I am in Austin, Texas.... where is she going now?
I would like to add one serious comment to a workflow I started yesterday. I created a new Gmail account for my little rental unit. The only communications it will be used for is that apartment. This way, should I be suspicious of the party I am replying to in the inquiry, I have given away NOTHING about my real, "normal" email address, or my website for my other business.
Gmail, surprisingly to me, now allots 10GB of space free to a new account. Having lived through the age where I paid $1500 for a 400MB hard disk.... I was impressed.
~ Rice
Good idea.
Switching emails now.
If you have any experience with Craig's List - these are pretty simple to spot. Incorrect grammar & spelling, all lower case, no contact phone number. "My Wife's Employer will be sending you a certified check ******** for more than you are charging so please forward us the overage right away".
Common sense tells you to simply receive payment up front well in advance, make certain it CLEARS and never give out the property address or any of your personal information.
I'm pleased to say that we have had very few of these on VRBO/HOME AWAY and most guests are legit.
Yes, you struck a chord here... anyone that offers to pay MORE is instantly on my radar.. I've had that on Craigslist, but not VRBO. That being said... I have occasionally offered more myself for an item that is grossly underpriced and has some competion. So, not always bogus.
I have been getting some phishing emails over the past few days. There are two flavors:
1. I get an email to my homeaway email account that has a subject like "Re: rental" or "Re: Contract" and it has a document attached. If you click on the doc, it brings you to the Google Docs login page.
2. I get an email to my homeaway email account that looks like a valid Homeaway inquiry EXCEPT that it has a different property ID than mine. I don't reply to inquiries by clicking the REPLY button on the email - I always go to the Homeaway site and do it from there. When I went to my Homeaway Inquiry page, this inquiry doesn't exist.
I urge owners to be careful when opening or responding to inquiries - looks like there is a lot of phishing going on!
I have started to use my own 2 e-mail system. The first e-mail address is for incoming inquiries only from HA / VRBO. I never respond from that address. It is also one of my main general e-mail addresses, the important point is never to respond to an inquiry from it.
The second e-mail is for responding and communicating with inquirers and renters. If a phisher sends me an inquiry through the HA system he gets the wrong address to send the phishing attack. If I get a HA inquiry to the second e-mail it's a fake! If somehow the second e-mail should get phished, they can't intercept my inquiries before I see them.
Ironically the actual weak spot is when I (occasionally) respond through RM. Then they get my HA inquiry-only e-mail address.
Just got this phishing attack recently. ***REDACTED E-MAIL MESSAGE FROM A CRIMINAL*** Not my property # and all the live links went who knows where. Oh and 14 people in a 3 bedroom? Maybe they are a very close knit family? Other than that it does look very good. But since HA does not send my inquiries to that address I don't have to give it a second thought. Sorry Perry, Nevaeh gonna happen!
****It was a phony scammer's name but yes, sorry, I know we must protect the scammer's privacy... ( check my post, you missed one) Paul
What happens when your e-mail account gets hacked (as I have had done before). If they get your password or access somehow to the e-mail address you initially receive inquiries from they can respond and forward all that mail so you never knew you got the inquiries. Then they can correspond with the inquirer as if they were you and encourage fraudulent payment, which was the whole problem HomeAway was trying to avoid.
I didn't realize my e-mails were being forwarded to a bogus account for about 5 days when I finally noticed I wasn't getting any mail from one of my accounts. I have them all combined in list view so all my e-mail addresses appear in the same place. Therefore, it is not always immediately apparent if one address has not received mail in a while.
Hi. I have been receiving more and more dubious email enquiries. I have taken on board the replies from other members.Thank you. I have been in the Internet/Government security business for some 25 years and dealing with the Internet since before it was created back in the DARPANET days, so I have a keen interest in this subject. What is happening to us is potentially quite worrying, and needs to be sorted out, lest the bad guys win, resulting in Owners leaving the community, and Holiday Makers steering clear of the site. This would, most likely, result in the closure of the site, due to zero revenue. We Homeowners need to do our bit for security, and so does HomeAway. For my part, I have difficulty in establishing the true identities of people (Incl. genuine holiday makers) who wish to do business with me. I do the usual background checks, which has worked so far. I'm thinking of ramping up my security checks to include such things as police checks (in country), exchange of passport ID image and data and cross-check to the relevant national passport office, Skype phone call with Image verification: against the passport photo submitted, Facebook and other social media, Fixed land line telephone number, and a Residential address .... It seems to me, that a genuine holiday maker will have a number, if not most, of the following ( which, incidentally could be verified or at least asked for by HomeAway) ...... Full Name, Address, Home phone, Mobile phone, Passport, Drivers licence, Facebook page, LinkedIn page, Entry on the Electoral Register, access to Skype.I am not sure of the technical capabilities of the HA staff, and regrettably have little confidence in their ability to sort the security issues out, in a professional and business like manner, from what I have read in the Forums. I would be happy to discuss these issues with the Security Manager/Officer at HomeAway... you have my email address and tel no. Is anyone else out there thinking of seriously ramping up their security?
I think some owners wouldn't get any inquiries if there were no bogus inquiries! Since the new HA system, I went from fully booked through homeaway to nothing! And according to HA staff a lot of owners are concerned about the problem. I really have a doubt about these many fake inquiries. In my case 100% fake inquiries in the 4 months!
Since the new HA system, I went from fully booked through homeaway to nothing!
What "new HA system" are your referring to exactly?
Inter alia HA payments...search placement prefers of course owners which accept HA payments as HA can earn 2 times money. Since this new HA system my search position and views went down to nothing. Depending from which country your are searching from it can even be worse. As HA and Flipkey are now sharing the worldwide market, as they bought all other competitors in other countries. Now they want to make real money! I went from fully booked to nothing since all these changes. HA confirmed this impact on my business and is very sad about this LOL. And this is just the begining... a lot of changes will come in the future which will have major impact on the busnisses of the owners. In addition, the HA payments are limited to very few countries in the world as HA only accepts a few countries. Most countires are excluded from this system and as the HA payments impact 44% on your search position...
I believe this is also a phishing inquiry - wants to move forward with the rental, and now asking for a lot of my personal information. It is my correct property address, so I don't know if this is a manual attack, or mass.
Hi optimystic2,
There's not enough information in your posting to comment.
What leads you to believe that this is a fraud attempt?
I didn't trust their response to my "dates are available" email [copied below]
When I sent a note suggesting I was concerned that their email looked suspicious, like a phishing attempt, and could they please confirm that they were real renters: they did not respond. If they were really a renter who was interested in a week at our cabin, don't you think they would send an email back explaining that they were "real people"? What is really weird is that my full name and phone number are already listed in the VRBO ad - and they would have had my billing address with my next email which is a rental agreement and invoice.. So it was the robotic nature of the response that also made it look more suspicious. Opinions welcome.
Thanks for the updated information. We are okay with the accommodation and cost .
We would also like to confirm the reservation on the following information:
Mrs Dasha B######
Ternopil 45491 ,Ukraine,
Also , due to the unsecured use of credit card online or on the phone, I have arrange for payment inform of check
Please do forward me the following details for payment
Hope to hear from you soon
Best Regards
Dasha B####
Ah, that one... yes, 100% scam. I get about ten of those per year -- all with the exact same wording.
Two options I'd recommend:
Choose either opion above and you'll never hear back from them.
Signs that it is bogus:
• From a far-off foreign country.
• State that the dates "are suitable" and if the original dates they requested are booked they say "any dates are fine".
• State their secretary or someone else wrote a check.
• State they are writing a bank check and that usually it will be made out for more than the exact amount.
• Include a list of information they want from you to send the check, with no regard for (or asking about) your policies or procedures.
Ahhh, Duly noted on the post of personal info of "potentially bogus" inquiry. Thanks Moderator
Yes, I have! About 50% of my enquiries are bogus. I agree with much of what has been said in this thread.
The usual signs of a bad enquiry are, in my limited experience:
1. An odd name (eg. Martina de la Torres, Carlene Micah (email was legrazin-mohamed@ .......)
2. Bad dates, which do not correspond to those indicated by me as being available
3. Unspecified number of guests (8 adults and 2 children in 8 max appartment!)
4. A phone mumber that does not work
5. An odd email address (gaellegaelle@.....
So, before I phone them, I look for them on social media, google, etc for evidence of their existance. If not found I call them on the number they have given to me. If it is a bad number or no reply ( after several attempts) I scrub the enquiry. If I get to speak to someone we discuss their requirements. I ask them for their HOME TELEPHONE number, if the are using a mobile. With this, I ask them for their HOME ADDRESS and offer to give them MINE, and explain that we both need to be sure who we are dealing with , for security reasons. For me the HOME ADDRESS is important because this is where I might sent the CONTRACT to ( if not exchanged by email), and where I would send the keys to. Moreover, if a potential rentor does not have a fixed abode and telephone, I'm not sure they could afford my place, anyway. If, I am still uncomfortable I might ask for an exchange of Passport IDs and then a SKYPE call during which we each hold up our passports and talk with our cameras on. Thus, both parties will be assured as to whom they are talking to, and where they live, if it ever came to litigation. I am confident that a scammer would not wish to Skype me on video with his passort held up to the camera, too. Once both parties are happy, there is no problem with doing electronic bank transfers etc.
I occurs to me that HomeAway might possibly be able to provide some form of screening. Could not enquirers be asked to provide a land line telephone number, Home address, and or ID Card details to home away.Homeaway could then provide three flags on the ENQUIRY sent to the HOMEOWNER, indicating which items had been provided by the enquirer. The home owner could then decide as to whether or not to accept the enquiry with or without 'ticks' in the respective boxes. ie you could still receive enquiries from people who do not wish to be properly identified, but, armed iwith this knowledge, you would be alerted to possible danger.
regards to you all. R
99% of my inquiries are bogus, since the new system of homeaway started. Although I have bronze, my page visits went down from 500 per month to less than nothing. Now 100% of my inquiries are bogus. Are these inquiries coming from homeaway itself, as I got a lot of inquiries just before the renewal period? As many partner sites of homeaway now guarantee 20 inquiries, if not they refund money ! I got inquiries although I couldn't see visits of my property!

I like the sound of that -- who offers this guarantee?
Enquiries, not bookings!!! So they make sure you will get 20 inquiries ;-)
Hi nickname2,
Yes, I read it correctly. "inquiries". My question stands -- what sites offer this guarantee? I'm curious.
2nd example ... Homeaway-abritel in France does it!
Recevez 20 demandes ou vous êtes remboursé (20 inquiries or refund)
So HA has all interest that owners get a lot of inquiries, it's better than nothing LOL as I have no bookings anymore I'm happy when I get fake inquiries ... it's hope LOL
for example, Homeaway-fewo-direkt.de in Germany does it!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. This is actually the first [that I'm aware of] in 4 years of renting. I guess I've been fortunate. I started with VRBO before the merger.
I'm thinking of ramping up my security checks to include such things as police checks (in country), exchange of passport ID image and data and cross-check to the relevant national passport office, Skype phone call with Image verification: against the passport photo submitted, Facebook and other social media, Fixed land line telephone number, and a Residential address.
That's quite a lot. The thing is, you want to discourage scammers without discouraging legitimate inquirers or making them feel uneasy or like your mining all their personal information up front. Many people like to keep their social network accounts separate (which is one reason I'm not too keen on AirBnB's policy of advertising yourself as part of the rental)
It seems to me, that a genuine holiday maker will have a number, if not most, of the following ( which, incidentally could be verified or at least asked for by HomeAway) ...... Full Name, Address, Home phone, Mobile phone, Passport, Drivers licence, Facebook page, LinkedIn page, Entry on the Electoral Register, access to Skype.
I can think of many legitimate past renters of mine that may have felt uneasy providing all that personal information up front. Many people no longer even have landlines and many older folk are not comfortable with computers and video conferencing.
To nickname2 and telemarkboy, since you both say most of your responses are from scammers, may I ask what country you are in? I get the feeling it is not the U.S. Are you in Europe?
Not U.S.
to swlinphx, why this feeling "not US"?
From everything you wrote and how you wrote it, even before you mentioned the German and French HomeAway sites.
Hello! Yes. I'm in the UK.(England).
Swlinphx: You are, of course, quite right in stating that my security checks are quite onerous. I only use those checks that I feel are necessary. I'm not particulary concerned about the overpayment scams I can handle them, no problem) my concern is sending out my keys to someone who will use the property without payment, or , worse still, they might want to have their family stay in my place for 24 months claiming I rented it to them on a verbal understanding for 50 Euros cash. It would cost me a bomb in European Tribunals etc to get my property back, and to clean up the mess, and settle all their energy and water bill etc. This is not what I need. So, it is essential I have the rentees ADDRESS, and home phone number. Note, that in France, you cannot get a phone number without producing your identity card! Also, where do I send the keys to if I do not have their address .... or, should I leave them behind the third tree near the pub in their villiage?
I accept your point about some elderly people not having or liking Skype or some not having a fixed line phone. So .... these elderly people are using the Internet on mobile phones with 3G or maybe 4G data links to contact HomeAway for a holiday. I don't think so! All of the people I have rented to understand the need for securty. If they are unsure, I ask them if they are happy to send me the money, in cash, with no contract, no property address, no questions ..... Of course they won't ! Having established that we are both concerned with security, we can agree the way forward. I don't ask people to do things I'm not prepared to do. Give me your address and I'll give you mine etc.
Regards, R
I understand your concern and things may be different with people from countries overseas, I'm not sure.
However I did just have an older man in Ontario whose nephew found our listing and gave him my phone number, yet he has no computer, Internet access or even an e-mail address! He will be staying here next month.
Also, we (and many on this site if you have been reading) have never used keys for the property itself. We have codes on the front door keypad which change with each guest.
Yes, this fit that criteria perfectly. For me, the primary tip off was that they didn't follow the normal protocol of asking questions about process, our cabin, etc, before saying they were sending money.
We have been part of the VRBO community for five years. We did not have a problem with bogus inquiries until HomeAway started advertising us in the forgein market. I tried to opt out of Homeaway but they said I could not. This year I registered with JUST VRBO. I am hoping that helps. I like renting to Americans only. We have had wonderful renters from around the world but the majority of inquiries from out of the country are bogus.
Spotting those fakers isn't tough. True vacationers are forth coming with their info and are excited to work with us.
Last year we had to shut down our site for a week because a phisher was rerouting our guests to their e-mail and then hiking their prices and trying to steal from our potential guests. Homeaway was not very easy to work with to put a stop to this. I love VRBO but only tolerate Homeaway.
Fortunately we are building an excellent client base and maybe someday won't have to deal with Homeaway.
Homeaway was not very easy to work with to put a stop to this. I love VRBO but only tolerate Homeaway.
What do you mean? They are the same company run by the same people and the sites are virtually the same; VRBO is HomeAway, Inc.
I realize Homeaway owns VRBO. BUT the Homeaway site is where ALL of my bogus inquiries come from. Cannot explain it it but it is fact. So ...... I am very wary of anything with their label. If I could stay with VRBO and disassociate from Homeaway I would.
when I call the VRBO number I speak with helpful folks. When I end up dealing with a Homeaway #s I get a lot of hold time and attitude.
They don't have two different call centers (or three or four). They have one that handles all their business here in the U.S.: HomeAway.com, VRBO.com & VacationRentals.com. I call the same people for both.

By Darren Eliot, SI.com
So, this is the speed and skill series we all anticipated? The Red Wings have held up their end of the bargain by playing a complete game on both sides of the proverbial puck equation. In so doing, they have stifled the suddenly punchless Penguins. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury (photo)compounded matters with two shaky efforts that led to an easy 2-0 Wings lead. But let's not focus on what the Pens didn't do. Instead, let's first acknowledge the Red Wings excellence and then look at what needs to happen at home for Pittsburgh.
At Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings dominated in every aspect of the game. They made posting two shutouts look easy while limiting the Penguins to a paltry 41 shots on goal. They had the puck a lot more and when they didn't, they won it back more efficiently. Not surprisingly, the Penguins were frustrated to distraction, putting the Wings on the power play eight times in Game Two. And while the Wings didn't tally with the man advantage, the Pens were not able to establish anything resembling offensive flow.
With the series shifting to Pittsburgh, the Pens can take solace in the fact that they have been a much better team at home -- where they have yet to lose a single game during this playoff run -- than on the road. The main reason for that has to do with Fleury's fine play in Pittsburgh. He has performed much better throughout his career at Mellon Arena than elsewhere, so hopefully the change of scenery will eliminate the mistakes that plagued him in Detroit. As important is the home-road disparity when it comes to Evgeni Malkin's production. He seems to play with much more passion and fan-fueled energy at Mellon Arena.
To me, the Penguins must have Malkin engage in the next two games if they are to have any chance of turning this series around. So much of their success has been the specter of having to "pick your poison" as an opponent as to whether the focus should be on Malkin's line or Sidney Crosby's. With Malkin bringing nothing in the first two games, the Penguins suffered mightily in terms of establishing any kind of offensive momentum.
Beyond personnel, consider these game aspects and weigh in with your opinion as to what you think needs to change for the Penguins:
1. Face-offs: With the home-ice face-off advantage, can the Penguins start with the puck more than they did while in Detroit?
2. Neutral Zone: Are the Penguins now aware of Nik Kronwall's propensity to step up on the right-winger and how to avoid his breakout-altering presence?
3. Forecheck: Will the friendly vibe in the building provide enough of an extra step for the Penguin forwards, allowing them to finally get to the Wings' D and force at least a few turnovers?
4. Breakout: Conversely, can the Pens' D find a way to move the puck more crisply when exiting their zone - an area exposed in the first two games by the savvy skating of the Red Wings' forwards?
Whatever your point of view, the burden remains with the Penguins to adjust and execute. So far, it has been unequivocally all Detroit.

This AIN'T Chicago Style Anything. – okay so it's not a bad place, but it sure isn't "Chicago style" anything. A Chicago hot dog HAS to be a Vienna. You can't just put a pickle on a
poppy-seed bun and call it one. And the pizza isn't bad, especially since most of the pizza in Arkansas is awful, but it sure isn't Chicago style either....real tomatoes, lots of cheese, thick sausage and so on. No Chicag pizzeria can get away with tpmato sauce and little round frozrn sausage balls. The owners ought to buy a recipe from a small Chicago pizzeria if they are going to call it that. I think it does a disservice to Chicago food, which is spectacular. Plus, any decent sports bar in Chicago has lots of good quality brews on tap, not just the stuff that should be jammed back int the horse.
Good food, live entertainment was great. Service was absolutely awful!!! – A few friends and I went for drinks and to listen to the music. We ended up running into to other friends and sat down with them. The waitress came to take our order and she was not familiar at all with what kind of alcohol labels they had (it was her 1st night) so I had to go to the bar myself to pick what I wanted then tell her (I should have just ordered at the bar). We ordered appetizers and it took about 20-30 minutes to get that. In the meantime other people were coming in that knew other people in our party. The waitress never asked if we wanted the order together or seperate (although with people coming and going from our "party" at several different times it should have been obvious that we were not all together!). My person and I told her we no longer wanted cocktail drinks but were going to drink beer the rest of the evening, yet she proceeded to bring cocktails (2 more even after we specifically told her not to). I am very sympathetic to people in the hospitality industry and appreciate all the work they do (if they do a good job) so I didn't fuss at her and just took the drinks. By the end of the evening my party and I were ready to leave and she gave us a bill for $200+ dollars. She ended putting everyone's drinks that came over to talk to us on one tab. She told us there was nothing she could do and it wasn't her fault it was her first night. Since we were all paying with debit/credit cards we needed it split and asked for a manager. A very reluctant man came over and gave us a piece of paper and our ticket so that WE (the customers) would have to handle this ourselves. After about 30 minutes we got it some what sorted and there were several drinks on there that we had not ordered but we were all desperate to leave that place we just payed and left. Mistakes happen but at least be accomodating to the customers and not make us do our own work. I will never go back here and will share this story everytime anyone asks for a recommendation.
Fantastic Chicago style Pizza – I had the Moosehead Pizza Chicago style, it was delicious. Best pizza in Little Rock and lots of cold beer. Many big screen TVs to watch football games and friendly attractive waitresses. Definitely a party place for the big games.

Looks great out of the glass. It's a pale necatarine color, hazy. The head is a brilliant white, thick and frothy. Great retention and a sticky lace. Really an attractive beer.
They've found the Belgian scent. Classic notes of white pepper, pear, and green apple. You can almost smell the sweet, spicy flavors.
Comes up just a hair short in the taste department. Very yeasty. The pepper is dominant but never over the top. A bit of alcohol with each sip. Some hop presence in the finish.
There are layers and complexity to keep your palate guessing. There's a splash of citrusy fruit up front. The spicy pepper takes over soon after and never lets go. A savory hop character picks up from mid sip, at which point the alcohol warms things. A dry finish leaves your tongue with a bit of a warm pucker. Medium bodied and fairly tart.
One of the better beers I've had from Alaska. It's very close to something a Belgian would be proud to drink.

In a tulip this beer was a clear gold color. There was a minimal white head.
Grassy hops aroma. Some citrus. Sweet malt.
Grassy hops, Lemon. A little funky. Bready.
This beer was OK, with a neutral mouthfeel. I kind of liked it, but wasn't in love with it. I would probably drink it again, but wouldn't go looking for it.

22 oz. bottle into tulip:
A: somewhat hazy golden yellow colored body with a slim half finger white foamy head that dies within a half minute leaving some nice clingy lacing sticking tot he sides of the glass
S: it starts off with that "iced apples" thing I normally use to describe a fair amount of tripels and then combines with a very strong lemon and coriander sort of spicy character, some Belgian yeasty notes come out but they're extremely subdued for the most part of the beer
T: bittersweet perhaps becoming tart through a combination of the lemon finding its way to intricate itself amongst the flavoring, super dry lemon-like aftertaste and finish
M: light to medium, harshness comes at me like a brick wall - wow - pummeling my taste buds into submission; carbonation is not smooth in any sort of way
O: well, if anything this lives up to its name, its a fallen angel, one who is bitter and harsh for what it portrays to the drinker. For a Belgian Strong Pale Ale, I say this is good. Would I have this again, hmmm...., maybe, I think there's a good chance. I could definitely see this with a nice broiled fish dinner, perhaps some King Salmon.

2013 release. bomber into a teku glass.
Pours a crisp golden color with a inch in ch thick white, lasting head. Smell is of yeasty malts and lemon grass, lovely. The taste is real farmhousey/belgian yeast dominating your palate. Tad of bitterness at the end. Herbal, dry finish. Very sticky. Pear is the dominant fruit flavor but its mild. Not the best of the style but pretty good. Medium bodied, medium carbonation.
Overall a good belgian styled ale. Recommended!

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big pear, apple, apricot, grape, clove, pepper, banana, bread, candi sugar, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and nice complexity of fruity/spicy yeast notes with a moderate malt balance; and good strength. Taste of pear, apple, grape, apricot, banana, clove, pepper, bread, candi sugar, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, apricot, banana, clove, pepper, bread, candi sugar, herbal and yeast earthiness. Very nice complexity of fruity/spicy yeast ester flavors; with a great malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly slick and fairly crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice Belgian strong pale ale. All around nice balance and complexity of yeast ester flavors with a balanced malt backbone; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Enjoyed out of a brown 22 oz bomber with nothing visible to mark it's bottling or "best by" date. Poured into a Boulevard Smokstack tulip glass.
Appearance - Promising start, with a brassy amber body topped by a foamy two-finger head that sticks around for several minutes before settling to a substantial one-finger froth and leaving sticky, pronounced lacing. Head is creamy white and this is overall a very beautiful beer.
Smell - First sign of a problem begins to arise with the aroma. Dominated by bitter, arresting tones of ester and the pleasant floral overtones I usually love in this style are muted. A good BSPA, in my eyes, will give me as much satisfaction, just from sticking my nose in the glass and breathing in the wonderful layers of aroma, as it does from drinking. This one really made me want to avoid breathing deeply while drinking. Disappointing.
Taste - Better than the smell, the bitterness is still present, but more subdued. Now the fruity phenols are more present as well, with some tropical fruits and a sweet yeasty characteristic, like sweetened bread. I also get a distinct flavor from the grain--it makes me think of pilsner malt in it's crispness. Alcohol heat becomes a bit more obvious as it warms.
Mouthfeel - Decent, and as expected for the style. Carbonation on the high side of moderate, with a continuous stream of bubbles rising through for the duration of the session. Medium bodied and a semi-dry finish.
Overall, just not a very good representative of the style for my money. There are so many that are easier to get and better that I'm not likely to have this one again. Hoping that the other bottle of Midnight Sun beer I have is better.

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into my snifter.
This Belgian strong pale ale doesn't have an overly flashy appearance. It's a clear gold color with minimal haze and basically has no head save for a thin sheet of white foam which fades quickly. But appearances are superficial. On to more important things...
For being called "Fallen Angel," it smells heavenly. Or maybe I should say "like temptation," hehe. The aroma is like fruity candy... I think I can recognize scents of apple, peach, and maybe a little mango (jeez I love mangos). QUITE intoxicating.
Taking a sip of this beer is like drinking a liquified loaf of yeasty, freshly baked white bread. It's slightly sweet, but it has just the right amount of hoppy bitterness to offset this and balance out perfectly. It feels like it could be a mere half of the 8% ABV, by the way. The definiton of "dangerously drinkable," I believe.
The carbonation is perfect. I have little else to say about it because it functioned so seamlessly well.
Ah, Midnight Sun. You never fail me. This one's right up there with Duvel in my book.
"How far will you fall?"... so asks the label on the bottle. My answer: I'll fall as far as is necessary to indulge in some Fallen Angel!

Vintage 2006 thanks to Dan.
Pour was very pale faint straw yellow, light haze. Little head.
Apples, loads of apples. Maybe some grapes. Light sweetness.
Similar to the nose, apples and loads of funk. Old flavors, tastes like it had been sitting around. Fairly light and muted pale malt.
Very light for an 8% Belgian strong.
Honestly, this was great. I doubt fresh even could compete on this level.

22oz into a tulip. Pours a slightly hazed coppery gold, minor egg cream colored head, ok lacing.
Aroma is of yeast and subdued crystal candied fruits.
Taste is a mildly sweet turn to mildly dry. Aftertaste is of a mild bitter, hops and tree bark. Something off in the flavor that remains attractive none the less. Shy of medium bodied mouthfeel.

Bottle from Healthy Spirits into a Midnight Sun goblet.
Pours a beautiful golden color with a massive fluffy white head that sticks around for 15+ minutes. Loads and loads of lacing on the way down. The beer itself is perfectly clear with plenty of visible carbonation bubbles for the duration.
Unfortunately, the rest of the beer isn't quite as good. The nose brings some very light fruit notes plus a touch of alcohol and some nice phenols. Not much depth or complexity. The flavor is quite similar. Some fruit and pepper there, but the yeast isn't expressive enough.
Body is light-medium with high carbonation and an odd dryness to the finish. It's not quite crisp given how high in carbonation it is. As it warms, this appears to be a bit of graininess and accompanying tannins.
Overall, this is just okay, though extraordinarily impressive in its Duvel-like appearance.

Poured into a snifter. Big thanks to Bilbosnuts for this.
4.0 A: Hazed yellow-orange-brown color. Two fingers of frothy off-white head. Retention is decent and moderate amounts of lacing left.
4.0 S: Quite earthy with a good amount of hay, dirt, and rotting wood. Moderate peppery spiciness, lightly sugary, flowery and earthy hops, and a light citrus. Peach and apple fruitiness.
3.5 T: A good bit like the nose. Peppery spice, hay, earthy, woody. Moderate yeastines, lightly sugary with earthy hop flavor. Peach and apple fruitiness.
3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good active carbonation. Spritzy, but could be more so. Lightly creamy and could use some more of that too.
3.5 D: Another tasty beer by MS. They never let me down.

A: pours a deep yellow to light orange with a finger of head with decent retention comprised of many small bubbles
S: Smells slightly lemony with some yeasty breadiness and some slight spice, a little grassy and some floral hop aroma
T: bready and grassy malt flavor kicks things off followed by some slight musty fruitiness, and a faint floral hop flavor rounds things out along with some apple skin flavor and a slight spiciness from the yeast. Aftertaste is more fruitiness and alcohol like that fades quickly although isn't very prominent from the start
M: slightly prickly carbonation and slightly thin in the mouth
O: Great flavors and pretty complex, these folks up north know their way around a belgian style beer.

Bottle: Poured a lightly hazy blonde color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of semi-sweet Belgian style malt backbone with light fruity ester. Taste is also an interesting mix between some semi-sweet Belgian-style malt with nice attenuation level with some fruity notes Body is quite full with good level of carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done with nice drinkable feature.

A: poured a brownish orange in color with murky yellow highlights and a light transparent ring of brown hovering at the top. There was a very thin head that left a little lacing sticking to the top.
S: I could definitely sniff out some pear and apples on the first whiff alongside some sweet belgian yeast but with a touch of brown sugar.
T: the belgian yeast character was more potent on the palate alongside the pear apple fruits, brown sugar, mild pineapple, and slight hop bitterness.
M: the brew was medium in body with a moderate amount of carbonation which had a sweet, yeasty, slight fruity, and mild hoppy finish.
O: it actually was a solid golden belgian and also had nice fruit forward flavors.

22oz bottle pours cloudy yellow with a fine bubbled white head. Nose has some sharpness, some citrus and crisp, sweet candy sugar, but also a sweet, doughy softness from the yeast. The taste starts with a slight fruitiness before giving way to the biscuity malts and Belgian yeasts. The finish has more of the Tropical fruit. The mouthfeel is clean and nicely carbonated but still goes down very, very smooth. This is yet another good offering from Midnight sun, a highly drinkable Belgian with almost undetectable 8% alcohol presence. A little less body than a typical Belgian Strong. But very nice.

Glad to get some Midnight Sun as an extra from Imperialking. 22oz bottle...
A: A gorgeous murky golden colored brew with a nice fluffy white head that fades at a slow pace. Very good.
S: A mild bready scent upfront with a mild hop blended well. A mild sweet malt makes an appearance. Good.
T: It starts with a hop quickly overtaken by a bready malt. Breadiness is then overtaken by a very sweet malt flavor. Can taste the 8% ABV very obviously. Decent.
M: Medium body with a hard carbonation. A sweet malty finish. Good.
O: All in all, this is a good beer. I'm not a huge golden ale guy, but this is a good golden ale. I'd definitely give it a try if you like golden ales and would like a unique twist on the style.

A-Body is a hazy translucent straw yellow color. Pours with a 1-2 finger foamy white head. Little lacing is left behind in the glass.
S- Nose is bright. Lots of lemon, citrus, a hint of funk, and bready yeast.
T- A lot of citrus and aple upfront with some floral hop overtones. Funky and bready yeast backbone. Finish is more citric than bitter and leaves behind very little residual bitterness.
M- Medium to high carbonation and a nice full bready and citric mouthfeel.
O- Overall this is a great beer. Its very saisonlike with and extra addition of citrus and hoppiness.

A friend shared this with me the other night at a tasting. The pour was golden yellow, big white head, light lacing. I thought the aroma was tame for the style, frutity, peaches and pears, some alcohol. The taste is about like the nose, somewhat boozey finish, fruity. The body is medium, average carbonation, light alcohol. Pretty average for the style, nothin really stands out.

Pours a hazed golden orange with ample tight off white head and big lace. The nose is balanced and interesting, bright yeast notes, lemon and candied sugar, notes of ginger, some light doughy malt, with notes of white pepper. The taste is similar, smoother and creamier than expected, lemon, ginger, white pepper and some dough notes. Rather dry finish, assertive carbonation, lively palate. Very tasty and balanced.

22oz. bomber shared with friends on 9/20/11.
A - Poured a clear golden liquid reminiscent of a white wine with a thin, bright white head that reduced to a patchy film and minimal lacing.
S - Initial nose produces a fume of alcohol, toasted grains and a hint of citrusy hops. Belgian yeast imparts moderate spiciness with notes of clove, giving the nose a bit of an earthy flair.
T - A warm alcohol tang is first evident after my initial sip, but it is flanked by a hint of citrus rind, sharp herbal notes and a hint of sweet honey. Mild earthy notes emerge in the backend and develop into a slight mustiness amid a hint of fruity sweetness in the finish.
M - Medium bodied with a syrupy texture and minimal carbonation. Finishes with an earthy hop bite and hint of sourness on the palate.
D - Seemed a bit boozy for an 8% ABV beer. While not a small beer by any means, I felt it lacked something despite having lots going on. Perhaps it was a bit too complex for its own good.

Bomber into Duvel tulip.
The first pour was gorgeous. In pouring the rest of the bottle I went to far and poured in the yeast. Needless to say, this act has been detrimental to my enjoyment of the beer.
It looked fantastic, smelled an tasted delicious, and was really quite a great beer--- now though, it is lessened in every aspect. My score reflects my thoughts BEFORE the great yeast invasion, though it is now much harder to dissect each component.
Smells grainy and lightly sweet. The taste has a light sweetness, lemony citrus notes, a touch of bubblegum, and a very nice Belgian yeast.
The body is just about perfect-- on the light side with a good airy feel.
This is the best American made Belgian golden I've had. Very tasty and nice.

Dry, peppery, and rather austere ale. Any traces of malty sweetness seem to have disappeared. Quite sharp and with a very thin mouthfeel. Looks quite nice with its pale lemony color and nice lacing. Tastes more like a very dry Saison seasoned with pencil shavings. Hops emerge with a long bitterness. Aroma reminds me of drying concrete.
Very coarse carbonation, which may be a product of more age than is good for it. I like this style, but I don't think this is a very good representative. The more I sip the more odd this tastes, like it has discovered a new kind of bacteria. This is not really bad beer, it is just such a peculiar and unfriendly flavor I leave it to others to decipher it.
Tasted again 01/21/2011 - Bottle marked June, presumably 2011. Rather spritzy, quite dry, just slightly hazy. Still tastes like a strong Saison with a lot of yeast and a fairly harsh Belgian funkiness.

22oz Bomber. Label notches are microscopic, but I believe this was bottled Jan 2011.
Pours cloudy pale gold into a tulip. A couple of fingers of white head, settles down, and not as big a head as most Belgians. A good amount of lacing sticks to the glass.
Absolute Belgian nose, fruity (apples, pears) with earthy wild yeast. Some spice. Citrus notes and a tinge of sour.
Taste follows the nose, mildly sweet, but a distinct sourness emerges in the middle of the flavor that reveals the presence of what I believe is Brett. I just recently had an Anchorage Brewing Co. Whiteout Wit (brewed w/ Brett), and this tastes quite similar. Similar, but the flavor is smoother and sweeter overall. No trace of the alcohol.
Creamy mouthfeel, sticks to the mouth but with a decent amount of carbonation. On the flat side for a Belgian, but doesn't really hurt the beer.

Fallen Angel retains a golden colour and angelic complexion (although a little chill haze prevents perfect transparency). For a Belgian-style ale it doesn't have the typical head, the kind that's tall enough to ride any roller coaster at the amusement park, but instead has one that combines with its lacing to look uniquely like a jellyfish, the glass an aquatic museum.
The aroma has some phenols and esters, but they're as much a product of alcohol as yeast. It's the smell of pale malts coated in sugar that makes the most resounding impression. At first glance (err, sniff) it actually does resemble the style's holy classic, Duvel. A bit of garden variety English hops seep through as well. We're on the right track so far.
The taste tends to drop out on the finish, and not really show up on certain sips, but then again that's to be expected from a beer made pretty much exclusively of pale malt. Like the straightforward grape character you'd find in a conventional white table wine, this beer's malts give off a soft grainy breadiness, and they're even coated in a similar sugariness to boot.
The yeast seems neutered by Belgian standards - it gives off only minimal spice, nothing like bubblegum flavours and only nominal fruitiness in the form of a stale apple-cider type flavour. It does, however, have a good deal of earthy herbal character and resounds with a dried garden herbs kind of finish, a nice balance to all the sugary sweetness.
While it might lack in the pyrotechnics department, that's not entirely a bad thing. Its modest 8% alcohol prevents any undesirable scathing and allows for bigger gulps. The mildness of the spiciness also encourages larger swallows than is typical of most Belgian ales. So what it lacks in character it gains in quaffability. A fair trade-off so far as I'm concerned.
Fallen Angel won't pass for an authentic Belgian-brewed ale but it certainly provides enough romantic residues of the classic pale, strong style to earn a respectable score. As far as the $12.99 I paid for this bomber there's no regrets, and while the money might just as well have been spent on something else, I'm glad I got to try this homage, if just this one time.

A- Almost a hazy light orange. 3 fingers of great white head. Retention is nice. Patchy lacing.
S- Yeasty and citrusy. A bit of bread. Some cloves. And banana.
T- Bready and yeasty. A bit sweet. Definitely citrusy with some nice light fruit kisses throughout. Bananas. This is a tame version but very well balanced and awesome.
M- Medium body with low carb. Creamy mouthfeel with a great somewhat bitter dry finish.
O- I love this beer. I could drink this all Summer long too. Another great brew MS :)
