[2521-20091009] 12floz bottle. Grass clippings and bread hops aroma with some fresh citrus rind. Clear, dark orange amber body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Rich grainy metallic grassy hops flavour. Full body is bitter. Quite tasty, good balance though hints at being old.

Dec 21, 2009 A nice version of a hoppy amber ale and a local that has waited too long for me to try it. This beer comes out with a nice piney hop aroma that fades into citrus hop flavor as you drink. The beer has a nice balance of malt and hop flavor without being overly bitter.

Dec 16, 2009 Very malty taste, some caramel sweetness in there as well, nice little hop kick as well. Goes down real smooth, highly sessionable.

Dec 11, 2009 aroma is excellent balance of citric hop notes and hefty caramel backup. appearance is tarnished amber, yet translucent. flavor is chewy caramel with hop backup, an equal balance in opposite terms via the aroma. well balanced amber that still qualifies despite strong hopping.
