Hangover (764), Atlanta, USA Oct 23, 2009 Amberish pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is very malty, sweet and definitely musty. Flavor is exactly the same. This seems like an ESB or something. I know what Amarillo tastes like and I’m getting no citrus, peach or any other fruit flavors. One-dimensional and malty. I’m confused as this beer is absolutely nothing like the description... crazy. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Oct 15, 2009 22 ounce bottle in pint glass. Amber with lasting flat head and some lace, Slightly cardboard/bandaid spicy rye aroma. Caramel sweet mediciney fruit with strong rye spice as it warms. Mild fruity bitter pine finish. Nondescript at best. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 15, 2009 Thanks to Maltajo for the bomber. Cloudy copper pour with a thick white head. Hoppy, toffee malt aroma. Thin body with some moderate hoppiness. Might have been a little past it’s prime, drinkable though. glennmastrange (807), hobe sound, Florida, USA Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. Light to moderate roasted note for the malt, light pine and soap for the hops and yeast, with hints of date, brown sugar and cardboard. Head is small, fizzy, white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Flavor sarts lightly acidic and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, watery with a fizzy carbonation and finishes moderately astringent and lightly dry. A drinkable beer but a little flat as an IPA. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Sep 24, 2009 Nose is mostly rye malt, some caramel, earthy hops, some lighjt fruity citrus and some floral hops. Pours copper, bright and transparent with a nice frothy lasting head. Lots of rye in the flavor, little spicy, earthy with some caramel. Hops are light and spicy, pepper, floral and a hint of citrus. Lingering spicy peppery notes. Soft earthy floral hops and light citrus. Decent showcase of rye flavors. I would prefer more hops, but its well made. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pours a clear amber with white head. Aroma of caramel malts, hops, citrus, spices. Similar taste, hop bitter finish. Not bad. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Sep 3, 2009 Bomber shared at Scottyp’s housewarming tasting. Pours a clear amber with orange highlights and decent white head. Nose of faint floral and citrusy hops with a caramel undertone. Flavor has a burnt quality, like carrots that got stuck to the bottom of the pan. Not that great, but still drinkable. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pours a fading ring of beige head and a orange-copper body. Aromas of pine and grapefruit. Flavors of citrus and some resin hops. Finish is bitter.
