ReRate: The more I drink of this award winning beer the more I like it. Copperish orange color. Well balanced aroma and flavor. Yet another great beer from this Georgia brewery.

Really enjoyed this one - what a mouthful of flavor. Thick orangeish appearance, hoppy, but not bitter taste that fills you mouth and awakens your tastebuds with each gulp. Aroma is a bit like citrus - very clean.

Very attractive dark copper colored beer with a nicely retained off white head. Aroma is malty toast with a light hop presence and a bit of dust. Flavor picks up impressively with a vey nice malt depth and a subdueded hop bitterness that plays of of the malty breadiness. I am very impressed with this beer.

Good amber color,small white head that stayed around for a small respectable amount of time.Sweet malt and caramel aroma mild hops presence.Very nice flavor,hoppy upfront semi sweet then it changes to a sweet malt and goes to a nice bitter hop finish.This is a very nice brew fairly well done and tasty as hell.Thanks go out to Brewbandit for this one.Very drinkable brew and smooth all around.

Pours a nice brown color, large frothy head as this beer is refermenting, sheets of lace, high carbonation. Nose is floral, malt tones also noted. Start is sweet, the middle is moderate, the finish is nicely hopped and bitter the way I like’em. Another great beer from a great brewery, More’s the rub not available in Arizona. Good thing I got connections in Georgia, Thanks BHB

Nice amber color with thin, quickly disappearing head. Aroma of floral and citrus. Flavor has a very hoppy, peppery taste with dry finish. Overall a nice bitter.

Far hoppier than expected, sweetly malty at the finish in a nice way...a bit nontraditional (well, not so English, anyway). The company was great at the bar by the time this one came along, and things were just beginning!
