 Butters (305), Richmond, Virginia, USA
Jul 14, 2008 Draft at brewery. Copper pour with orange-red hightlights and good light tan head. Fruity and floral hop nose. Smooth hop bite at the finish. But admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of the style.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus fruits, cereal, toffee, and a bit of cardboard. Taste of caramel malts, citrus fruits, pine and a medium, grapefruit finish.

Jul 10, 2008 Taps at Capital Ale House Virginia Beer Festival. Grassy and earthy hop aromas.
Slightly cloudy golden orange with small white fine head. Grassy somewhat citrusy hops dominate flavor with moderate pale malt background to support. Medium body with a dry finish and touch of hop bitterness.

Jul 10, 2008 Thanks to hopdog for sharing this one. Pours a lightly hazy amber with golden/orange notes and a smaller bubbly off white head. Aroma of caramel, cardboard, light citrus notes and some hints of hops. The oxidation really kinds of overpowers the nice caramel malt/hops that are in there. Flavor of some toasted malt, caramel, earthy notes, hops, mixed citrus and light pine. Some cardboard and hints of butter, but not as apparent as in the aroma.
