Golden amber, thick, dark fruits, malty, caramel, hoppy, citrus, little floral, little piney, dry finish.

Pours a medium yellow color, roughly the same hue as Deschutes Mirror Pond Ale. Much lighter than I anticipated. Huge white head and a big whiff of bananas in the aroma along with a bready, yeasty sort of tang. Cloudy with a heavy malt aftertaste along with pine and a big alcohol taste in the back end. Enjoyed on Election Day and patiently waited til now to be able to rate.

Reviewed 11/4/2008 (bottle): Pours a pale yellowish body, with a very clear non-fizzy body. Good sized white head, but diminishing. Hoppy grapefruity aroma. Sweet syrupy smell like fig, plum. Bitter taste, sweetness & maltiness. Strong taste, alcoholy. Waiting for it to warm up...Strong grapefruitiness. Dry aftertaste. Not my thing, too much bitter for me.

On tap at Trappeze. Poured amber wih a white headd. Aroma is very malted with some citrus hops as well. Taste is a little more hoppy, with plenty of caramel backing. Finish is bitter. Solid hoppy effort, pretty good balance.

22oz bottle. Good looking amber brew with a white head. Full malty aroma loaded with sweetness and fruit (oranges). Very inviting. The flavor is just what the aroma suggests. Full malt with a light caramel sweetness. Plenty of hops run through this one and I noted Pine, orange, and earthy notes all throughout. Well integrated flavors and very enjoyable. Medium-full bodied. I’ll take more of this any time.
