Bottle shared by JonathanL7890. Thanks!
Pours a rich cloudy orange amber color with an orange rind and caramel smell and taste. Citrusy and a touch warming from the alcohol. Sharp, citrusy alcohol and hops with a medium body. Not bad.

Jul 11, 2008 2 oz bomber from Capones. Pours a clear orangey amber with a small of white foamy head. Aroma of caramel, toffee and floral hops with only a slight touch of grain. Medium bodied light carbonation and rather dry for a BW. Flavor of caramel, toffee, bread but with an overall waxy taste as well. Average at best to slightly below average, sort of like most first round draft picks.

Jun 11, 2008 Bomber from a relatively recent trade, shared with my GF Cyn. Pours deep orange with a tan head. The nose is sweet and fruity hinting at heat. Taste is sweet but thin and one dimensional. Eh.

Semi cloudy amber. Smell is fruity and a hint like rubbing alcohol. Flavor is quite rind-like and has some present alcohol in the finish. Highly carbonated and thin. Big lemon and orange flavor. Overall, not bad - just a hint not balanced overall.

May 6, 2008 Dark orange, almost light amber with small silky head that does lace some.
Sweet and bitter orange peel, some caramalts, but not overpowering. Slight marzipan or marshmallow and some woodsy hops.
Very light malt profile for a BW. There is more of a bitter citrus and herbal/medicinal hop impression than there is of malts. Double IPA territory for sure.
Soft and maybe slightly watery feeling, but still pretty drinkable for a BW.
