Aug 11, 2008 22oz. Bottle: Aroma of hops, resin, pine, alcohol, caramel malt, and a little plastic. Poured dark copper with a hint of amber in color and a large, creamy, dense, rocky, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of hops, resin, salt, pine, caramel malts, and toffee. Medium to full body. Smooth, creamy texture. Average carbonation. Resinous, slightly dry finish.

Aug 7, 2008 Big props to Skyview for bringing this back for us all! Dark copper color with a thin head. Plenty of citrus and caramel aroma. Much more of the same flavor. Slightly astringent bitterness towards the finish. Chewy and nearly bready.

Jul 30, 2008 Updated: Aug 17, 2008This was the best beer at Locust Street Day by far. Esters of grapefruit dominate. However, some that I’ve had since have not been as good.

Jul 29, 2008 Pours deep coppery with ruby highlights and 3-fingers of off-white head. Nose is toasty caramel malt, hops, brown sugar, spicy yeast, figgy fruit. Tastes very hoppy, with caramel malt, brown sugar, figgy fruit, port, berries, and some spicy notes. Palate is rich, complex, malty, hoppy, and fruity, with a nice balance. My 2 year old daughter smelled this and said, "Strawberry" Indeed.

Jul 21, 2008 22oz bottle. Clear auburn with a two finger yellowish beige head, good retention. Resiny pine and spicy hops up front with some scorched caramel, brown sugar and raisins in the background. Flavor pretty well follows suitwith the pine, caramel and raisins dominating, and the addition of some woody notes. Semi-dry finish with bitterness peaking around a 4. Alcohol masked well until it warms up then it tastes like all of its 8%. Burps pine and pineapple. Smooth full body with light to moderate carbonation. Pretty good beer, though it seems a lot like many ASA?s I?ve had.
