Sep 29, 2009 2009 batch sampled on tap. The pour is nice looking copper hue with a thin, longer lasting white head. The aroma speaks of more sweet malts than hops but the flavor is just the opposite with an attack of fresh hops followed by the malts. A citrus note gives it that added crispy clean impression. Nicely done.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle from Sam’s. Pours bright clear amber with brief off-white head. Nose is pretty decent. Some hops detected as well as sweet malt and grain. Some metallic notes that really show through in the taste. Watery taste and palate.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Clear copper color, which is fitting since it had a nice coppery taste, with some corn. Flavor is metal, and did I mention corn?

Sep 25, 2009 Very clear copper with thin white head that persists. A very hoppy aroma with flavor to match. Quite bitter for the style with a minerally finish. Not nearly enough malt. Not a bad beer, but too hoppy and not enough malt for an O’fest

On tap at the Beech Tree. Pours a clear orange brown with a medium white head. Toast, grain, and seawater aromas… it does start to smell better as it warms, or I eventually grew immune to it as I tried to make my way through a 20oz pour that I ended up with for neglecting to ask for a smaller pour. Oh well. Left more than half of it on at the bar. Grainy and metallic and a bit thin. Long slightly acrid finish. Misses the mark big time.

Sep 18, 2009 The aroma is malty, caramel. The appearance is true to the style, orange, white head. The flavor is caramel malty, toasted malts. Not terrible, not exceptional. The finish is of the toaste malts, no bittering. Medium, run of the mill mouthfeel. Ok, drinakbale, not a great representation of the style. But it’s Fall, and I have to drink as many of these as I can find.
