Nov 19, 2009 A pretty reddish-amber beer. I happen to like big, sweet malt flavors, so I thought this beer was quite good. Smooth in taste and texture. Sweet, not cloying, but almost like cotton candy and caramel plus some roasted notes. Finishes a bit dry, but not all too hoppy.

Sep 22, 2009 can at redlight. Very weird funky smell. Incredibly bitter toffee type. Not so good.

Aug 17, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. can.
Appearance: Hazy orange and brown with a creamy, off-white head. The head was large and had good staying power.
Aroma: A little dusty and yeasty with mild hop character. Some bready malt notes.
Taste: Reminds me of a saison. Sort of a airy earthiness to it. Lemony, dusty, an odd sour note. There then gone in a second. Malt seems to be nonexistent.
Mouthfeel: Medium-low, very smooth carbonation with a light mouthfeel. Short finish. Not quite what I was expecting.
Overall: A strange brew. On the can it says it was an award winner in the alt category and that explains a lot of the characteristics.
Rebuy: Maybe. Something different to have around.

Jun 9, 2009 12 oz can. Amber pour with a thin tan head. Aroma of malt and barnyard. Somewhat stale taste dominated by malt and slightly burned almonds with a sharp finish.

Jun 7, 2009 Can. Although this is not what I would consider one of the better beers in this style it is still pretty good and very drinkable. I am going to a 3 day music fest this summer that only allows cans and I think these will do nicely as they are not too over the top in taste or alcohol yet way better than any of the other usual can options from the macros.

Mar 5, 2009 Light amber coloured body with a very thin, if that, white head. Aroma of funky malt, strong low a.a. hops and a mild metal scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong assertive malts dominate with a bit of sugar and caramel coming afterwards. Aftertaste shows some metal and malt, but a good complexity to finish it out. Overall, not such a horrible beer, but not one of my favourites either. I did like the can, as I always do though! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York.

Feb 21, 2009 12 ounce can from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a reddish brown color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel with an herbal nuttiness. Taste is toasted malts, stone fruits, nuts and leafy hops. Some toffee as well. Medium bodied.

Oct 25, 2008 Can. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweeter caramel aroma with light hops. The flavor has sweet caramel malt and light bittering hops in the finish. Decent.
