Sep 6, 2008 From bottle : Clear copper color, with a small sticky white head with decent lacing. Very strong nose of piney hops, pepper and some alcohol. Taste is much the same, has a big hop taste, but not the bitter bite. Body is medium, palate is pretty nice and smooth, not to sticky. Aftertaste has the hops and som caramel, but not much, and it doesnt linger very long at all. Alcohol is hidden pretty well. Good brew.

Sep 1, 2008 Can at the twickenham tasting. Aroma is unmistakenly american caramaly and citrusy hop, lychee, toffee, peppery. Taste is similar, alc very well hidden, great beer, however perhaps getting too much of that caramalt cloyingness. Still an excellent drink.

Aug 30, 2008 On tap at Papago. Pours a deep amber-orange color with a big creamy tan head that sticks around throughout. Lots of aromas happening. Roasty caramel malt, pine hops, grapefruit, and earth. Flavor is mostly the sweet caramel pitted against the pine hops. Ends up being a huge flavorful beer, that manages to stay pretty well balanced and drinkable. Feels thick and full on the palate, with a lingering grapefruit peel finish. Im gonna have to say fantastic!

Aug 30, 2008 Aren’t you glad this isn’t a seasonal anymore? I am. Poured into a pint glass from a can and already you get a nice smell of hops, dry hopped for sure. Beautiful amber color. Nice hop flavor but not over the top. Light malt and a nice long dry finish. This is the best tasting canned beer i’ve ever had!!

Aug 29, 2008 Poured from a 12-oz can an orange color with a fluffy head. Has a sweet candy smell. A nice smooth taste, which really hides the alcohol. A sticky hop flavor of pine and grapefruit. Some nice malt balanced out the hops for a very drinkable beer.

Aug 26, 2008 A great beer. Another balanced, strong, hoppy, malty and complex beer. So much going on: Caramel, big hops, breadiness and a sticky palate. Not that clean, but that’s not always what you want. A great winter warmer to enjoy with a light cigar next to the fireplace with a big leatherbound book (with the aroma of rich mahogany in the background, of course).

Aug 24, 2008 Hazy copper amber with a rich tannish head. Looks good. Hoppy, floral, pine and citrus aroma. Smells good. Balanced malt and hops, chocolate and caramel as well. Nice finish and palate, this is a fine beer.
