Nov 16, 2009 Everything in moderation. Moderate and Short hoppy finish. Moderate aroma balanced hops and malt. Good malt flavor but some overly buttery notes. Nothing partiularly off with the beer but nothing that puts it over the top.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Beautiful copper color. Small head that dissipated withing three minutes. Aroma roasty with some raisin and alcohol notes. Pleasant. LIghtly sweet flavor fading into roasted coffee and then to a slightly bitter aftertaste. A very pleasant progression. Tasted better as it warmed a bit. Looked forward to each sip.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle sample at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL. for a Lagunitas tapping and sampling evening. Poured a hazy, reddish amber, with a decent, white foamy head and clingy ribbons and dots of lacing. The aroma was caramel malt, and a touch of fruit sweetness. The flavor was similar adding some subtle hop bitterness. Nothing that would prevent me from watching the movie, but flavorful and sessionable.

Oct 21, 2009 Reddish brown pour, nice creamy white head. Bread/hop smell. Taste is a bready chewy hoppy flavor. I like it but is not "strong".

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle into pint glass. American strong ale weighing in at 5.9... huh? Pours a great copper body with an awesome frothy long lasting cream colored head. Aroma is dough, caramel, and juicy hops. Flavor is the same, A very fruity character to the malt hop combination, but I can’t quite out my finger on the fruit. It is just juicy and fresh. Medium dry, slightly biting hop finish. Medium body with medium to low carbonation - great mouthfeel. Overall: solid session beer that I will certainly be buying more of. Not sure why its categorized as an American Strong Ale though, considering it isn’t alcoholically "strong."

Sep 29, 2009 Pours copper light brown with a small off white head. Aroma is very caramely with some bits of light fruitiness much like an esb. Not a whole lot else going on beyond the sweet. Flavor starts with a light fruit and sweet toffee character. Pretty much stays the same gains a bit of a floral hoppiness towards the finish. Just very sweet from start to finish, caramel and toffee. Medium body and a sharp carbonation. Not a whole lot going on, pretty basic and boring.
