Dec 6, 2008 This poured a copper color with a beige head. The aroma contains some citrus, caramel and toffee with a slight floral presence.

Oct 30, 2008 This was the worst of my sampler. Harsh and piney. Perfumey with a sweet and sour flavor. Some caramel malt with a sticky finish. Maybe I had a bad batch cause I sure don’t agree with the previous ratings.

Oct 24, 2008 This is toasted caramel deliciousness. Noble hops mix with earthiness and sour apples. Vibrant red in color with very litle head. Succulent toasted caramel flavor, some green apple, plenty of vibrant Euro hops. A great alt and a terrific quaffer.

Sep 25, 2008 Sampled at Brewgrass ’08
Appearance: Copper-color. "Looks the way beer should look."
Aroma: A perfect blend of hops and malt, it could be a bit more aromatic for my likes.
Taste: I’m not sure if this is close-on stylistically, but I hope it is! I dig this beer. A harmonious blend of malt and hops, not too sweet at all. There’s a nice hop follow-through at the end.
Palate: Perfectly dry and fizzy.
Overall: A wonderful session ale.
Serving type: on-tap
