On tap at Belmont Station. Quite the odd one, but overall a rockin’ output! All your great flavor from the Rocket is there, with a little extra bready and sugary push from whatever yeast strain they’ve decided to use. Pours a dark amber, white head. Medium to thick body. Nice hoppy finish while the sweet and semi-fruity flavors of the yeast continue to cause joy. YES.

Aug 16, 2008 12oz draft at the Dirty Truth in downtown Northampton. This was a great after dinner beer full of malty caramel flavors. It was in the "Belgian" box on the chalkboard of 40 drafts. It tastes like a Belgian brown with a hint of west coast hops. Good beer from a great brewery.

Aug 10, 2008 Tap @ Cole’s. Nose is yeast, clay-like fruits, caramel, alcohol, a light sourish fruit tinge. Flavor is yeast, caramel, lots of dry fruits & apples. Quite tannic. Caramel & rye grows in the finish w. strong bitterness & caramel. Its odd to experience an ASA fermented with a Belgian yeast.

Aug 1, 2008 Enjoyed on-tap at Cole’s. This beer rocks. Dark fruit aroma. Dark fruit colour with a little white head and some lace dots. Served a bit too cold, a taste range as it warmed. Above average mouthfeel, and also above-average carbonation. Very tasty grapefruit, marmelade, a wonderful bitterness. So enjoyable.
