[Growler] shared by Skyview. Clear gold pour with a soapy off white head. Grassy aroma. Not overpowering hops, citrus, and grapefruit. Medium mouthfeel, with a nice, but not quite enough, hop quality.

From Skyview’s growler. Bitter, grassy hops. Orange color. Thin white head and light red color. A session beer with very low bitterness, not bad at all for what it is.

(growler from Skyview) Pours orange with a white head. Aroma has some pepper, citrus, and some graniness too. Taste is pretty weak with some light sweetness, very light hops, and a strong grainy finish. Medium mouthfeel.

[Growler, thanks Skyview] Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a little sweet with a decent amount of hoppiness and quite a bit of grain. The taste is not as good with the grainy malt dominating. Medium-thin mouthfeel. Drinkable, but the taste was really not good compared to the aroma.

Copper color with a thin head. Light orange aroma. Fairly grainy taste and a bitter, slightly acidic finish. Just a bit of orange flavor.

A very hoppy and delicous beer for an amber. Aroma was a little weak but was all hops. Pour was a nice medium brown (dark for an amber) with a one finger off white head. Taste was a little thin in the front. Just barely a hint of caramel malt that, after the swallow bombards the tongue and throat with hop bitterness. Dry and bitter as it goes down. Very tasty and extreme for an amber ale.

Nice beer! Didn’t expect this from my local brewpub. Drank this with an Englishman, and he commented on how well it would go over in the UK. Keep up the good work!! Nice floral hops, not overly hoppy, but just enough to keep the beer going.

12/27/07 - Winter Road Trip ’07 - Draft sample at brewpub. Clear red/amber, thin white head w/ good lacing. Great floral nose, fruity as all can be. Tastes fruity and floral hoptasticness up front, some caramel, then a good earthy bitterness. Pretty dry. Not a bad bitter offering. Pretty one dimensional, all hops and some malt. Not overpowering. Tasty and sessionable.
