Pretty good stuff. Golden in color with a thin eggshell head. I picked this up at the store because I had never had it and the old lady opened it and started drinking it from the bottle. I appreciate her willingness to try new things, but keep me in the loop here. I like a higher abv beer from New Belgium. I like how the sips seemed to alternate from a hearty maltiness to a crisp, sweet hop flavor. Kinda thin on the tongue. I agree with many of the raters that this is an awkward take on the style, but I liked it for what it was.

Dec 7, 2009 Decent with some malt crispiness. Some hops, but overall rather pedestrian. Would be nicer if it was a bit fuller. Lot of fizzy and good mouthfeel. Rounded and medium finish. A good beer for a party or just to have around.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Poured clear copperish gold, with a big white head, lots of lace. Aroma of citrus hop, toasted malt, earthy hop. Taste is similar with plenty of toasted malt and bitter earthy and citrus hops. Mouth is relatively light, though still satisfying. Overall, a nice brew.

Dec 6, 2009 Dry hopped till I lost my floral nose. Packed with pepper and spicy but was not so nice as it overwelmed the hops. Cloudy pour with light carbs I would be one and done with this beer.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours a clean translucent gold with a one finger sticky white head. Nose is citrusy and malty, caramel and munich malts, toasted, resinous hop nose. Flavor is a good balance of prominent hop and malt characters, toasted grain, caramel sweetness, very mild bitterness, citrus rind character. Palate is malt prominent with little hop bitterness.

Dec 5, 2009 12 oz. amber pour from bottle. Flowery nose. Warm, spicy taste with a dry, light hop finish. Decent, but not great. Still, I would drink this again.

Dec 4, 2009 A decent Ale, nothing spectacular. I didn’t lke it at first because of a dry after taste but it kind of grew on me. Not one I would buy again but then again I’m not much of an ale fan.

Dec 3, 2009 Pours amber with a white head. Tastes like cinnamon, malt, and hops. Not particularly memorable.
