Dec 20, 2009 Bottle: Pours a clear copper with a small frothy off-white head that is mostly lasting leaving nice lacing. Aroma has hints of floral hops with hints of pepper and caramel. Malty flavor is toasty with some pine and caramel in the creamy bitter finish. Well balanced and enjoyable.

Dec 18, 2009 Nice well balanced beer. Flavor was mostly malty but the hops were there too to be sure. I’ve begun to like this over Fat Tire.

Dec 18, 2009 This beer has a very good taste to price ratio. Nice caramel color, but not really offering too much to the nose. The taste isn’t bad but not nearly what i would expect from a winter beer. Very clean finish though.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottled. Pours straw color and clear white head. Note of floral hops and pine resin. I almost dumped this one out, but hey it’s beer. Tastes of hops and pine tar. Not good. Finishes leaving me thinking of my old sweaty canvas converse high tops--and that’s not a good memory either.
Will not buy this one again.

Dec 16, 2009 Poured into a standard pint glass with a very small white head that quickly diminished. Pretty nice aroma of spices, floral hops. Taste was a lot of spices up front with a smoother dry hop finish. Aftertaste was a little watered down and bleh. Decent brew.

Dec 14, 2009 Mediocre. Deep amber with very little head. Weak aroma. Malt and a bit of grapefruit in the flavor. Very dry finish. But all in all not much to it; weak body, light non-descript flavor.
