Sampler at the RR Brewpub (Santa Rosa, CA). Largely Orange body up front with a fairly clear body, and a decent offwhite head that sticks around acceptably. Aromas are caramel and citrus, decent bittering hop presence and biscuity malts. Slightly one dimensional but still an EPA, a style that borders on some stuff I really like. The malt presence is decent, but just not quite what I expected. A good beer, just a little dissappointing overall. Cheers.

Pours a glowing dark orange color. Clear, so clear that I can completely see all carbonation. Pungent orange juice aroma, some bitter hops, and raw (uncooked) dough aroma. Straight orange juice upfront followed by a mellow hop flavor, and some grapefruit rind. Nicely balanced and enjoyable beer.

Been waiting a week and a half for this one to be on tap again. On tap @ Russian River. Clear medium orange with a one finger slightly yellowed head, fair retention. Earthy caramel and earthy hops are all I get up front in the aroma. Flavor adds some caramel and lemon tang. The finish is semi-dry with bitterness peaking around a 3, some biscuits hanging around as well. Light carbonation with a light to medium body. Another patron said this was her favorite beer last week (though not on tap at the time), and I?ve been anxiously waiting for it ever since. This ended up a little bit of a letdown.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper hue with average head. Nose- caramel malts. Taste- toasty grains, and grassy hops. Average body and carbonation. Has a nice light hoppy finish. Good quaffer.

Nice deep, copper body. Light caramel sweetness with earthy essence and minimal, but sharp hop component. Somewhat grassy and piney. Very nice drink.
