On tap at the Selins Grove Brew fest. Aroma is malt in a vanilla sugar type way, just asolutely massive. The flavor is as intensly malty as a good ipa is hoppy, punches you in the face with toffee, bread, and slightly nutty flavors. medium bodied. pretty good.

Aug 17, 2008 Draft at brewpub. Poured a cloudy golden in color with a nice medium sized frothy white head with great lacing. Aroma is sweet, bready, with a nice hop presence. Tastes of sweet caramel, candi sugar, moderate spices, bready with a great body and mouth feel. Hops very present in the finish. Nice.

Jul 27, 2008 Draft @ Selins Grove. Pours an effervescent, bright golden-orange color; creamy, marshmallow-like head with excellent retention and lacing; gorgeous pour. Basic cereal and fruitiness (a touch overripe) in the aroma; somewhat resigned. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy candy sugar, caramel, and sweet, basic maltiness; kind of heavy in the mouth, lightly carbonated; slightest touches of alcohol. Lengthy finish: some lasting mineral bitterness shows through, with breadiness and yellow fruits.

Jul 27, 2008 Pint at Selins Grove. Honey orange colored body with a small, white head. Huge, deep, syrupy nose of sweetened corn, dried leaves, wood, dried vegetables, peppery honey and a touch of that 7.7% alcohol. Thick, chewy and syrupy in the mouth, peppery, spicy and sharp throughout, full body, without a doubt fuller and heavier than it ever needs to be, but it actually tastes very fresh, meaty and fruity, with a sharp orange/caramel malt note throughout.

Jul 21, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the fiirst quarter of the glass. Light, fairly indistinct aroma with a few notes of malt and bread. The flavor begins with some light malt and finishes with some moderate-strong bitterness. Some lingering dryness after the swallow and a bread flavor emerges in the aftertaste as well. This one didn’t really do much for me.
