On tap at O’briens. Hard to say much to this when sampled right next to a Pliny. Spicy malt and nuts make up the base, with a pretty weak hops aroma. Almost smells a little burnt. Mild lemon tones in the flavor with a medium bitterness on the end. Refreshing finish that leaves a light and crisp pine character.

Oct 7, 2008 Shared bottle with Timfoolery. Smelled of hoppy goodness and even tasted pretty good at first, but the palate just fell apart. Left an odd bitter taste in my mouth. Decent brew for the genre, but not a standout.

Oct 5, 2008 On tap at the San Diego Brewing Company. Rich orange in color with a milky, off white head. Aroma of fruit, orange/citrus, caramel and earth. Flavor of toffee and caramel up front, with some grassy/earthy/citrus hopping in the finish. Decently bitter for the style. Lingering flavor. A solid, but probably average, version of the style.

Sep 25, 2008 Thanks to Josh for sharing this one. Pours a lightly hazy amber with golden notes and a medium creamy/bubbly off white head. Aroma was floral, pine, mixed citrus, bready, caramel and a light nuttiness. Flavor was practically a match of the same.
