Bottle...O-Town Throwdown Part Tres... This beer rocks!... Beautiful, mostly clear, copper ale with a small, wispy, white head. Gobs of gooey caramel along with citrus and evergreen hops in the nose. The flavor leans toward the bitter side of balance, but not by much. Huge caramel/crystal malt backbone supports a nice, biting dose of PNW/Cascade hops. Full-bodied with (almost) a mineral oil mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Fuzzy fruit and dark fruit, bittersweet finish. Thanks to kp for sharing another great bottle of beer hand-crafted by the mastermind at the dearly-departed Dogwood Brewing Company!

Apr 23, 2008 Backlogged rating from the opening on 5SN - Pours hazy golden with a thin wispy off-white head. Aroma of cantaloupe, mango, and some juicy Amarillos. Tastes of mango, cantaloupe, grapefruit, and a citrus medley. Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.

Dec 15, 2007 Draft. Pours a dark amber. Small, white head. Huge aroma of piney hops. As the beer goes down, a citrus hopfeel takes over. Nice bitter finish. My favorite beer of the afternoon.
