Jul 27, 2008 Pours copper with off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Pretty malty flavor. Some hops. Really hard to place what kind of beer this even was, but ever sip of it was enjoyable.

Jul 27, 2008 On tap at Iron Rabbit in Olympia, WA. Pours a deep copper color with a thin beige head. The aroma is of a pleasant meadow and hops, with a malty undertone. The flavor is a bit maltier than I expected, but not too sweet since there is a decent hops balance. Good mouthfeel. Not a bad brew at all. I’d like to pair this beer with grilled chicken breasts (skin-on, marinated in soy sauce, red vinegar, garlic and parsley for a few hours first), grilled corn on the cob, and garlic mashed potatoes.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours a medium dark coppery color forminf little to no foamy head. Aroma of malts, hops, caramel. Fair amount of lacing. Flavour was of metallic carameled malts with a tinge of hop action. Fairly drinkable, but not really what I think of as a strong ale in the traditional sense. Overall well made and tasty.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with an off white head. Has a strong sweet caramel malt aroma. Strong caramel flavor as well that sits overtop a nice underlying bitterness. Not bad.

Jul 20, 2008 Copper color, with thin white head. Roasted malt flavor, with nice dry hos bitterness at the finish. I didn’t detect much sweetness in the malt. Sharp and crisp for an ale. A bit astringent, which for me was a good thing. Would go well with a nice juicy burger.

Jul 18, 2008 pours a clear amber with a light tan head, good lacing.
smell is really faint, some fruit, some caramel, some malt.
taste is sweet fruit, some hops, touch of caramel, a little metallic, as it warms grain and malt.

Jul 17, 2008 This is a really good, unique ale. Sort of a cross between an IPA and a weak belgian. Taste is hoppy and bitter, but a sweet palate rounds it out nicely. Kicks pretty fast too, even though less than 6%. Recommended. Won’t disappoint.

Jul 16, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 7/16/08.
Aroma - Lots of malt based aroma - toasty grain, caramel, burnt sugar. Some earthiness and spice follows.
Appearance - Coppery amber, medium off white to beige head that settles quickly, fair lace.
Flavor - Leans toward bitterness quickly, supported by a sturdy caramel sweetness, moderately dry finish.
Palate - medium body, light carbonation, faintly syrupy initially, but giving way to some astringency and drying bitterness.
Overall- Quite tasty, lots of flavor, probably better with the right food, some smoked fish or hearty beef dishes, than by itself.
