Jun 7, 2009 Dated 7/10/08 Pours hazy amber with a big off white head. Big malty aroma. Caramel, fruity, and a bit of spicy hop. Flavor is sweet and grainy malt, with a little weak iced tea flavor. I would say that this bottle is past its prime.

Apr 17, 2009 Wax Dipped Flip top. Bottle date 11/11/08. Shared with TomThompson & Camerons crew post Beer wars. Medium amber pour. Caramel malts, vienna Eliot Ness similarity here. Lighter body, clean, malty sweetness. Decent but my least favorite of the Four Teton beers we had
carruthm (1110), Seattle, Washington, USA
Apr 12, 2009 Copper colored with a small to medium head. Not sure this really counts as a strong ale given its ABV. Aroma of some caramel sweetness and a malt presence.
Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA
Apr 1, 2009 1ltr bottle from O’Brien’s. Pours a lightly cloudy copper color with a 1 inch think beige head, spotty lacing was left on the Orval Trappist glass. Nose was quite sweet with dark fruits, honey and toffee. Flavor was sweet with toffee being the dominant factor, light hops and dark fruits in there as well. I really dug this brew, way underrated in my opinion.

Jan 30, 2009 MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 10, 2009. Courtesy of BDR. Hazy orange color with a medium head. Aroma of caramel malts and a bit of orange. Light citrus bitterness in the flavor, mixed with a Noble and floral hop. Very light caramel.
GAManiac (1120), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Jan 26, 2009 Bottle shared by a generous soul at the Brick Store HMoG.
Pours a reddish amber with a small tan head that didn’t hang around long and left little lacing.
Smell is pretty tame overall with some light caramel malts and some earthy hops, neither of which stand out too much.
Taste is more of the same with the sweet malts carrying the flavor with hints of spicy hops up front. The finish is more sweet than bitter.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
I was a little disappointed with my first beer from Grand Teton as there is not much distinctive about this one. It’s a decent beer but nothing I would come back to.
