Clear auburn body with a nice thick slightly off white head with great lacing. clear, unambiguous Hoppy aroma and a bitter taste, well balanced with malts to give a creamy palate.

On tap at The Big Hunt, Washington, DC. Dark copper pour, fading off white to tan head. Huge toffee and alcohol taste. Viscous mouthfeel. Reminiscent of a Barley Wine.

Slight hop aroma with a clean olfactory. Light brown orange in color, filtered. Strong alky initial taste bud impact. Bitter pine sap and turpentine. Finish is certainly a shut down, bitter oily medicine. Too much for this lager lover. WEW! Typical Lag personality, over the top.

Six pack from Market of Choice. Pours out a nice reddish brown with a small off white head and light lacing. Aroma is bready with sweet caramel and some earth and citric hop action. Flavor is a lot of the same, very good melding of those hop flavors with the sweeter malts. Just a tad too boozy, but it mellows as the beer warms. Another solid offering from Lagunitas.

bottled, clear ruby pour with small/thin white head, very mild sweet malt aroma with large floral hops on nose, tastes hop bitters upfront with grapefruit like sour in mid and lasting floral hops on palate, BIG ale with complex flavors

Another nice beer from Lagunitas, poured a deep red, great hoppy aroma, very bitter taste, just a little too sweet of a finish for me, but still great. goes really well with chocolate for whoever cares!

Bottle. Poured a redish amber, clear, with a white head, tons of lace. Aroma of big earthy, citrus hopping. Taste is very bitter, with lots of grapefruit and plenty of malty caramel. Finish is really nice bitter. Mouth is kind of sticky and sweet. Overall, a good sipping beer, with a good amout of malt to balance the brew.

reddish brown with large white head. moderate to low carbonation. hoppy nose. bitterness immediately, very distinct flavor that is quite possibly from chinook. flavor hops come in and have the classic Columbus style. a very prominent malty sweetness, likely from low crystal malt. a little alcoholic warmth, but very well hidden for the abv. love the american amber style and this is a great version
