Dec 27, 2007 Bottle. 12/27/07. Aroma of spicy hops with some spiciness and malt notes apparent as well. Amber/orange. Slightly hazy. Off-white head with decent retention and lacing. Malt in forefront with medium crystal malt caramel flavors and some juicy melanoidin notes in the background. Well-balanced by a spicy hop flavor and moderate hop bitterness. Medium-bodied with good carbonation level.

Dec 26, 2007 Pours a cloudy brown/red color with a thin white head that disappears almost completely after a couple of sips. My glass had some particulates floating in it. Faint smells of hops. Does not have a very strong smell. Tastes of a good amount of hops with some fruit. Maybe apples, grapes almost. Tasty nonetheless. Very well carbonated, not thick at all. I drank this beer all night at a wedding in Oakland once and I woke up with a very bad headache. Reminiscent of the type of hangover and the nasty hop taste in your mouth that you get when you drink to much Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Dec 26, 2007 Pours a nice slightly hazy amber, nice floral scent, obvious malt flavor with nice fruity notes. Unfortunately, poured a weak somewhat off white head. Medium carbonation that is fine for this beer. Not a bad beer.

Dec 25, 2007 Updated: Dec 26, 200712 ounce bottle. Great label. Nice aroma with a hint of molasses. Full, fresh flavor that is both robust and smooth. Taste of malt, hops, grains, and . . . a little peat? Something unusual. Well-rounded with no rough edges. I really enjoyed this, and I would bet dollars to dimes that most beer drinkers would enjoy a couple of these.

Dec 11, 2007 pours a nice cloudy amber orange with a thin creamy off white head. aroma is caramel malt with a citrus, grape, apple hop aroma. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. is a touch thin but there is a little bubbly action in the back of the throat. there is also a nice dry hop aftertaste. not to bad of an amber. there is also some pine that creeps up in the aftertaste. kind of a cross between an esb and an amber. i would by more for a light night of drinking.
