Mar 29, 2009 Fat fucking tire. Been a long time coming. I can totally see how this is going to be hella popular here in NC. It’s easy drinking, it has a colorful label, and its relatively cheap for a craft beer. Seriously, $3 a bomber is a great deal nowadays. The nose is pretty fucking weak--toasted malts, caramel, blah. Flavor is right on with the nose. Very easy drinking, especially when you’ve already had a few.

Mar 26, 2009 Deep amber pour with a moderate, off-white head. Malty with a hoppy finish. Overall smooth drinking brew. Wish I could get it in Florida

Mar 25, 2009 Nice amber color with a light brown lively head. Aroma is foresty hops and fruit. The taste is typical amber ale, nice sweet malty, a little spicy and little hops in the end. I don’t really get the hype about this one. It lacks any distinguishing character, which is dissapointing. With that said, however, its not bad and pretty tasty if your in a pinch.

Mar 21, 2009 22oz from Total Wine, Durham, ferried home by my lovely wife. Pour is actually pretty rad, with a fairly light orange color and a big lively head. Looks quite nice. More soft hops in the aroma than I remembered as well, and it’s certainly a quite refreshing amber ale. Not too much cloying or overly thick about it. But unfortunately, there’s also not a whole lot of character either. This is a good session brew, the kind of thing you’d be psyched to see at a work picnic or something (only my colleagues have better taste, thankfully).

Mar 19, 2009 APPEARANCE: Pours a clear amber color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. There is a little bit of lacing.
SMELL:
Biscuity malts and caramel.
TASTE:
Lightly toasted malts with a light caramel sweetness that is balanced light grassy hops.
MOUTHFEEL
Light to medium body with a relatively dry texture. Light fizzy carbonation.
DRINKABILITY:
Very drinkable. Enough flavor to make interesting but not heavy at all. However, there is also nothing particularly interesting about the beer.

Mar 19, 2009 pours the typical amber, with mild carbonation forming white head. aroma of whole wheat bread and grains with a touch of butter. Taste is very similar to the aroma, with a bit of burnt and a touch of honey in front of the bitter hops. palate is fizzy, borderline watery. Overall, the aroma does wear on the nose from sip to sip, but i feel i could get used to this as a solid session beer!
