Style: Amber Ale
Brattleboro, Vermont USA

Thanks to HopDog. Prous a cloudy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma of pine and caramel This one smelled really good. Flavor is a bit roasty with oak, pine and dry hop finish.

Poured a medium to darker amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pine, caramel, flowers and a woody-oakiness to it. Tastes of caramel, pine, and wood. Lightly sweet and medium bitterness. Nice hoppy burps.

Bomber per Eyedrinkale. It shipped and the cap came off slightly. As such, we’re drinking it now. The carbonation is still nice. Big foamy white head and nice lacing atop a amber/mahogany body. The aroma is floral, citrus, weedy, graham crackers. The hops are quite present in the flavor. I’m getting a dandelion and citrus hops. Lots of hop resin present in the palate.

an off orange color w/ a tall off white head well laced w/ visibile carbonation. large citrus and floral hop aromas and some nice carmel malt and grahm crackers. Palate is sticky and well coated but not overly creamy. FLavor is a dry grass and citrus hop, hints of carmel malt and some floral flavors. Pretty good stuff. Thanks to Blake for sharing.

Lightly hazed amber, thick light tan creamy head. A somewhat complex IPA aroma of florals, citrus, and light pine, with softer underlying tones of chocolate, nut, and graham cracker. Flavor is dominated by the citrus and floral hops, with only a slight sweet malty backbone noted late. Definitely one sided here, but ok by me. Medium bodied and creamy, light carbonation, dry hoppy finish. Good stuff if you’re looking for a hop fix...

Ruby color with a big, hoppy aroma. Smooth hoppy flavor that was really good.

Coppery color with a strong hop aroma. No carbonation and very easy to swallow. Pretty good!

thanks to firemoose15 for sharing the wealth from his bomber. very red when poured, alot more so than any other "red" beer ive ever seen, capped by a thin layer of white creamy foam. citrus and grass come out of the nose, with further inspection revealing some spices and malts. flavor was more complex than most ipa’s, i actually wondered if this was an imperial at the time. there are alot of caramel malts present, so their sweetness balances the hops very well. also a bit of spicyness shows at the end of the sip. again, alot more body than most ipa’s, almost creamy, with a distinct hop bite on the tail, but not enough bitterness to take away from the rest of the flavors.
