Jun 14, 2009 Tap at the brewpub on 2/2/08: Pours a transparent copper amber with a well-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of fruity fresh earthy grassy piny hops and some semi-sweet pale maltiness. Starts with a lightly toasty malty sweetness with some dandelion grassy hop flavor and a bitter dry finish. Needs some more balance and refinement.

Dec 8, 2008 12oz can, thanks wilkie. Large, rocky beige head atop murky dark amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit/orange, some bread. Taste is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some caramel/bread, light pine. Medium body, some chewiness, light acidity. Some residual bitterness, but would not be mistaken for West Coast variants.

Oct 23, 2008 Can courtesy of sloth, that great fellow ratebeerian of us all. The pour was deep hazy orange to faint copper, generous off-white colored peachy looking head, solid lacing. The aroma was strong caramel and some resinous hops. The flavor was caramel, slightly sweet candy-like notes mixed underneath, along with finishing with pine hops and some substantial spicey hoppy elements. The mouthfeel was a tad on the sticky side, moderately bodied. Not outstanding, yet a decent brew, so thanks to ya, Bertie!
