Jul 15, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Quite a good smoked from someone who is not the biggest fan of the style. Pours with a clear amber body and an off-white head with great lacing. Slightly smokey aroma. Taste is a nice, light smokeyness, covering a quite hoppy ale. Syrupy mouthfeel and slightly lively bubbles.

Jun 30, 2008 Sampled at the Toronado in San Diego. Slightly smoked aromas and flavors. Interesting how subtle it was. Pretty good.

Jun 28, 2008 Draft at Toronado San Diego. Amber orange color with decent head. Smoky aromas were nice. Flavors were still smoky with some sweetness and hints of grain. Pretty good stuff. First Hollister Beer.

Jun 7, 2008 Draft @ Toronado Shared with my girlfriend. Poured orange with an off white ring. Nose is smoky and nice. Taste is Sweet, malty and certainly meaty smoky. I won’t go as far as John, about it being the bets though it was good and stood up to my Girlfriend’s high smoked standards.
