Commercial Description:
An overwhelming earthy floral aroma leaps out of the glass and slaps you in the face due to the huge amounts of whole leaf Golding hops used to dry hop the beer. A spicy hop flavor arises from late flavor additions in the kettle and through more whole leaf hop cones in our hop-back. A combination of select specialty barleys imparts a soft, fruity maltiness.

Five year old bottle so I didn’t expect this to be as good as once before probably. Pours clody orange with a thick white head. Aroma of honey, pine, berry, and orange. Very good taste of resin and orange with a bitter finish.

Pours a light tan head with a cola-color body...i got the dregs tho. Smells of malt and mellow citrus hops. Tastes of floral and some spice hop and medium malt sweetness. Little dry. Wish the hops were more prevalent all-around.

Pours a hazy gold with foamy head. Aroma of citrus, pine, hops, lemon, some malts. Similar taste, buttery up front with some nice hop bite. Not bad for an ’04. Thanks butters!

Five year old beer courtesy of Butters at his Cellar Reduction # 6. Old tasting but still going. Best by 12/9/04. Bitter hops. Resin and pine. Tastes like this beer might have active yeast in the bottle . I wouldn’t be surprised if the alcohol content has risen over the years. Who knows. Interesting for its age but hardly a stellar beer

Bottle (12/9/04) shared from springslicker at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Gusher upon opening. Pours a near clear orange with solid white head. Nose is a weird sweet fruity honey malt, with big alcohol notes. Apple, butterscotch flavors. Still has a decent bitterness on the finish. And i’m not sure, but I think this got more alcoholic with age, lots of warming. Extra points on the age.

btl opened by Springslicker. Lemon sour like butterscotch and apple starburst. Very musty flavor of old wood. Semi sweet that fades to a bitter that is far from pleasant. Very foamy and thin. A beer that did not hold up well with age. Rated out at 2.7 but with a best by of 12/9/04 I rated on a curve officially.

Bottled, thanks to SpringsLicker for the brew! Poured hazy, deeper golden, and almost still.. a dusting and a light ring of white head stuck around. The aroma was warm and welcoming, and undoubtedly unlike how this originally came across.. deeper caramel, toffee, and barley give an aged, well-malted impression with just a touch of dried floral hoppage.. this aged gracefully with an old-ale appeal. The flavor had deep toffee, medium-skinned fruits, caramel, and barley again with mild floral bitterness.. well-aged and soft, with little hoppage left. Medium-bodied with very low carbonation.. let the malt show glide slowly, but gracefully across the palate. This was just delightful!
