Since this beer became available in my area it has been somewhat of a fallback staple of mine. It isn’t spectacular in any way but very good, drinkable and available. Pours crisp perfect amber with a 3 finger, somewhat chunky, eggshell tan head. The head has good retention and a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is biscuity malts, toasted nuts, herbal hops, lemon, and a little musty. Flavor starts with toasty malts, herbal and slightly bitter hops, and a hint of citrus. The middle is pretty interesting as the nuttiness comes out, along with a creamy chocolate ice cream base, really interesting and it fills out the body nicely. The finish is light and fairly refreshing, herbal and slightly bitter hops, lemon and some sweet, grainy malts.

This beer just doesn’t work for me. Taste is hay, herbs, barnyard, woody and earthy. Like they are trying to force flavor into this beer. Aftertaste is of mold or rotten appeal. I am not quiet sure why people rave about this.

Got this off a friend of mine with connections in Denver - I’ve never seen it on the east coast. amber, hazy, with a big head after pouring that faded but left nice lacing on the glass. a nice flavor, with just a bit of a bitter aftertaste. overall not as good as i was expecting from the hype i had heard.

31.10.2008, 0,6l Tap. Pier 39, San Francisco, CA. Light brown amber colour. Aroma is malty with som nice hops. Very nice to the Halibut!

Good beer - very amder in colour and quite sweet and malty. Fairly bitter, but not a lot of hops and a tad flat.
