Dec 18, 2009 A nice brew. Nothing spectacular, but certainly nothing run of the mill either. Highly sessionable and one of my favorite releases from summit.

Dec 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy lt. brown color with a medium off white head. The aroma is fruity and mild caramel malt providing a moderate sweetness. There are slight hints of pine. The flavor is generally lacking. I get grassy, earthy hops with a bready malt base. There is a general bitterness to the finish. I didn’t get much in the way of fruits or caramel from the nose.

Nov 21, 2009 Thanks to ericandersnavy for this one. Pours a clear reddish copper with a frothy 3-finger beige head. Light roast caramel aroma with mild floral hop. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is roast caramel with a touch of citrus, but mostly floral. Seems astringent. Decent drink.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle- Amber ale poured with small off white head. Aroma of light hops and sweet light citrus. Bit fizzy, earthy and dry. Dry bitterness lingers in this one.

Nov 16, 2009 Hop aroma is strong - both citrus and grass in the nose. Bold, tasty hop flavor as well; as others have pointed out, the malt does not balance the brew fully, rendering it somewhat empty. A bit too much carbonation for my tastes -- makes the beer bite back a bit, but it’s a thin, somewhat disingenuous bite. Very pleasant red hue. On tap.
