Mar 15, 2008 Amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is malty, with caramel, maple, and a light alcohol sweetness. Taste is a nice hoppiness followed by caramel, and crystal malt and a very light alcohol warming.

Mar 13, 2008 Can from Vintage Cellar. Aromas of pine and floral hop. Copper/amber color with a decent off-white head. Very smooth, near creamy, carbonation. Seems about medium in body. Lightly roasted caramel malts nicely balanced by lots of hop. Not harsh, just good. Leaves a bit of tingle behind. The finish balance is fairly dry, and the hop keeps on. Nicely bitter.

Mar 13, 2008 Pours dark golden read with a frothy head. Aroma of pine, citrus, and sweet malts. Big aroma. Big malt flavor. Very smooth. Finishes bitter. Delicious beer. I can’t believe this comes in a can.

Mar 13, 2008 On draft at Oskar Blues brewpub. A tasty brew, albeit a little all over the place. A fair earthy dose put into the hop profile, but the sweet malty undertones seem to take the lead here. Some sweet fruity notes behind it. I suppose I was expected more of a hop forward double ipa type brew after seeing the tap handle - now after reading the description, maybe this was what they were going for all along. Nonetheless, while I enjoyed it, it wasn’t ’wow’- ing me over...

Mar 12, 2008 Can (of course). Pours a nice ruby/copper color with a little bit if lacing in the medium size head. Sweet fruity aroma, I knew I was going to like it as soon as I smelled it. Sweet fruity & malt flavor. With a great balance of hop bitterness. One of my new favorites.

Mar 11, 2008 Can thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours a nice amber color with decent sized off-white head. Very sweet and hoppy aroma. Flavor was a little hoppy, but the sweet malt really took control. A lot of caramelized sugar, almost like candied oranges. Great texture and mouthfeel. Really didn’t notice the high alcohol at all, never got the warm feeling.

Mar 6, 2008 Can. Deep dark orange thick creamy small white head. Great aroma - lots of hops, lots of malt,a s advertised. Taste - wow. Tons of flavour - huge malt present, huge really citrusy sticky hops, but somehow the body comes off as almost crisp - really well made brew here folks to achieve this balance. Alcohol present, slight burn in finish. Lots of caramel in finish as well. Almost refreshing? Crazy, this is a world class brew in a small little can. Great stuff.
