Growler from Rob via Kinz at the 8th Richmond Gathering. Amber pour. Hoppy, floral nose, with some soft malt. Taste is big hops with soft caramel, sweet malt citrus and some spicy notes. Body is bubbly, resinous and bitter. Medium overall. Ends with more bitter hoppiness, floral notes, sweet malt, and spice. Not too bad.

Sampled from a growler courtesy of maniac. Thanks! Pours a clear golden amber color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Hoppy aroma with notes of resin, peach and citrus. Taste is bitter hops, resin, citrus, caramel and toffee. Slightly toasty in the finish. Medium bodied. Very well balanced.

Nice red color, creamy head. Some chocolate malt flavors mixed in, balancing hops (Mt. Hood & Cascade per the barkeep). Some grapefruit flavors, a bid acidic on the finish. Good! Thanks Rob.

Draught at the brewpub. It pours cloudy rust orange with small but long lasting ivory head. The aroma is pleasant citrus hops, a little bit of muffin, and slight florality. The flavor is very predictable, but not bad. There is mild toasty malt, some citric hops (though not very assertive), and some piney bitterness in the finish.

Growler from maniac. Clear copper amber with creamy tan head. Citrus and pine aroma is very welled balanced and amplified in flavor. This is one of the best, most balanced, pale ale I’ve had. Great beer!

Red, dark, very nicely hopped. It’s very easy to drink, not overly bitter for a beer of this style, just another good one from Calhouns.
