May 18, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with BBB63. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a moderate tan head that lasted until mid-glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of pine and citrus, with a bit more emphasis on the citrus. The flavor is definitely more inclined towards the pine, with a weak malt backbone. Finish is bitter, not quite acrid but close, and lingers well beyond the swallow. Medium bodied.

Mar 9, 2008 12oz bottle, no date. Cloudy brownish orange with a small light beige yellow head. Resiny bitter pine up front in the aroma with a light burst of orange citrus hiding behind. Earthy caramel malts and some fruit cake are also present. Flavor has more fruity hops and a less pine, though the finish has the bitterness a little more piney (peaked at a 6-7). The caramel took a backseat and left pretty much everything to the hops. Low carbonation with a medium body--a little more carbonation would’ve helped this beer out. Pretty good overall and the best I’ve had from Back Road so far.

Feb 22, 2008 Thanks to inkubus 27 for the bottle. This is a very surprising beer. Has a hazy red-brown color to it. There is very little aroma, but the taste is very pleasant. I taste strawberries and lemon. Carbonation is done very well. A very easy drinking beer!

Oct 16, 2007 pours a slightly hazy dark amber. Aroma: applejuice, hay, lemon - interesting... Flavor: quite bitter with just a little tiny bit of sweetness. Starts very thin but lingers pleasantly.

Sep 10, 2007 Needs more aromatic hops because the aroma of this copper colored, off-white headed ale was a bit light. It smelled of old caramel covered by a soft grapefruit, pine, and herbal/earthy hoppiness. The hops do kick it up a few notches in the flavor, the grapefruit dominating along with some zest of lemon. There’s just enough malty sweetness to balance it out. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Liquors, Porter, IN<font size=-1>

Jul 18, 2007 Big citrusy hop aroma with moderate malt aroma. Low doghy yeast aroma.
Light amber with a slight cloudiness.Light ivory tight head with moderate head retention and lacing. Citrusy "C" hops flavors are up-front and heavy with malt following way behind. Dry hoppy finish. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel with alcohol warming. This is a "Hop Head" beer! Very tasty!
