drjay44 (758), Salida, Colorado, USA Nov 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Per the brewery web site, IBU 45, O.G. 1.052, ABV 6%. Pours a thin off white head, with attractive lacing, over a clear amber (SRM 8) body.....nose is light pineapple, bit of pine, bit of citrus....taste initially slightly sweet caramel malts leading to medium citrus/pineapple bitterness....mouth feel is medium, as is carbonation. This has all the right characteristics, but is slightly lighter in all phases than the best in this style. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Aug 13, 2008 Date: 06/20/2008

GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA Apr 3, 2006 Tawny in color with little froth. nice malted hop nose. Medium nectar. Dry and slightly earthy w/ a bitter finish. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Mar 11, 2006 Bottle. Aroma has a corm malt aroma. Has the normal copper colored body with pale white head. Wet malted corn mash with some hop bitterness. Wet corn aftertaste is not to exciting but better than swill. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Mar 4, 2006 Bottle. Pours a brownish amber with a limited head. Lightly scents of fruit and malt. Malty with some sweetness on the palate maybe some slight caramel. Very minimal carbonation. Thin and watery, not much body. Fair at best. Thanks Flaco Alto for the bottle. kramer (2407), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 9, 2006 12 oz bottle, via FlacoAlto. Pours a slightly hazy orange with minimal to no head. Very grainy aroma with some soft floral hops. Fairly sweet and fruity flavor with some soft floral hoppiness again. Rather bland and non-descript. Light bodied with minimal carbonation. Unexciting and boring mouthfeel. Overall this is pretty bland and sweet with little to no complexity.
