Oct 6, 2008 In a word..dusty. The beer came across as the epitome of a beer that smells and tastes dusty. Not sure how old the bottle was, but perhaps that’s the culprit. The aroma, as mentioned, was flat out dust/dirt (perhaps that the UK hops?). Lightly sweet with some malt to keep the dust in check. The beer was the color of watered down cola, with a nice off-white/khaki tan head, frothy with some nice bubbles. Flavor of dust, honey, and a touch of metal.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle from a dragon pack from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. Orange-brown pour with a minimal head. Piney and earthy hop aroma. Vegetal/grassy hop taste with a nutty malt background. Like most of their beers, not spectacular but very drinkable.
