12 oz bottle
Recent bottling, medium pour in an English pint glass.
Poured orange red with a small beige frothy mostly diminishing head with traces of lacing.
Smelt of strong caramel with light citrus.
Taste was upfront moderate sweet caramel with light roasted and nutty highlights and light grassy bitter hops followed by a moderate citrusy hop kick on a light dry bready malt with a long bitter finish. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, oily, lively carbonated wit hlight astringency.
Overall, an amber that flows nicely from rich caramel maltiness to bold citrusy hopiness. Finish is way too balanced towards hops though. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA

Pleasant aroma of citrus hops, biscuity malts and some pine. Flavor is a dull version of the aroma. Starts off mildly malty sweet with some caramel before turning slightly bitter with some grapefruit hops. Decent, easy drinking beer. hophead75 (1962), Boonton, New Jersey, USA

Aroma is citrus, pine and caramel malts. Taste is the same with a slightly astringent finish. hop presence is resinous and earthy in this one, which is not a problem with me! nice beer.
