Bottle from Total Wine. Beer pours a cloudy gold color with a slight head. Nice aroma of hops and a bit of fruit I think. Flavor is good, but it seems as if there is something missing. A nice beer to try.

Slightly hazy golden pour with minimal head. Nice sweet hop aroma, some pine with hints of fleshy fruit. Very tasty. Right up there with Titan IPA.

Bottle. Color is a dark golden color. Aroma is malty, with fruits and caramels. Flavor is okay, though I didn’t really think it was in any way wonderful. Malts power the flavor, with small hits to hops. Was better as it warmed.

Cloudy brown, with absolutely no head. I mean no head, even with an aggressive pour. Some carbonation is evident on the sides. Fruity aroma, almost like raspberries. Sweet and very fruity flavor. I’d be sure this was a fruit ale if not for the bottle. Too flat for the fruitiness.

Color is a typical ale golden color, no cloudiness. Aroma is strongly fruity, with strong overtones of peach and fresh apple. Flavor is sharp and hoppy with fruity hints that are not as strong as I expected after getting such a strong fruit presence in the "bouquet." Lively and zingy, it does not have much depth to its taste but is still a good brew.

Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Orange/caramel aroma and flavor. Easy drinking. LIngering caramel. Somewhat lighter body.

This reminded me so much of Alpha King. The hop profile seems identical. Lots of malt too, just like 3F. A very very nice beer which suffers in my estimation from feeling like something of a copycat.

Caramel, grass, pine & fruit notes in the aroma. Hazy amber colour, almost looks like a cloudy cider; quickly disappearing head. Nice balance between malt and hops. Caramel, citrus, pine, and some bread notes. Refreshing with a full body and a mild bitter finish.
