Jul 7, 2009 Draft at KS Carlsbad. Light hazy orange gold with a big, heavy lacing, yellow tinged head. Nose of citrus and light pine and rye bread. Flavor was moderate bitterness with yeasty rye breadiness. My IPA loving son in law thought this was excellent as did I.

Jun 5, 2009 Clear golden coped with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Earthy malt grain and citrus taste with a fairly clean and refreshing finish.

Feb 23, 2009 Sample off the hand pump @ Toronado San Diego. Pours a mostly clear deep amber color with a small off white head. Big nose of rye malt, herbal hops and was quite sweet. Flavor was also quite sweet with a good rye base, very full flavored, medium in body. A very cool brew.

Jun 30, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 2008On cask at Pizza Port real ale festival. This was a surprise to see a Karl on tap since they usually only share their beer with their restaurants but I knew I had to sample this offering. It had a bread and slight grain aroma yet subdued under the obvious smell of alcohol that only beer alone would give off. The appearance was a medium tan brown and had a thin layer of foam I’m accustomed to with KS’s ales. Flavor was somewhat empty and held no strong backbone other than the light bread notes and sweet malt. I am willing to re-taste this one.
