22 oz. bomber. Smooth, clear amber pour, with a smallish head. Sweet, malty, slightly herbal nose is quite prominent. Just the right amount of bite on the tongue to balance the malts, a light citrus tang all the way down. This is a really nice late winter/early spring brew.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks Andy. The aroma was of citrus and subdued caramel with a hint of cherry. Poured a slightly hazy reddish-orange color with a thin off white head. Slightly sweet with mild hop bitterness that peaked toward the end. Smooth mouth feel with carbonation on the lower end of the spectrum. I tasted pale malt, light green vegetable, citrus fruits, and a hint of spruce.

Jun 21, 2008 Stud tasting 1.0 held at general_gaos. Thanks for putting up with us colin! Amber pour with little head. Caramel and toffee aroma. Flavor is more toffee, some orange, earth, chocolate, and tangerines. Finishes mildly bitter, good carbonation. Opened up quite a bit when it warmed up, lots of citrus hops going on in this one.
