Nov 2, 2009
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a big mug. There is a freshness date on the front label but I can not read it.
Appearance: The body has a deep orange amber color with very good clarity. Its head has a good two finger thickness and is just off white in color. It has very good retention and hangs on well making nice slick lacing on the glass as I drink it down.
Smell: Its nose is full off floral and spicy Pilsener like saaz hops along with some sweet bready maltiness.
Taste/Palate: There is a good bready malty base flavor with nice sweetness and mild caramel and nutty notes. Hop flavor quickly moves in with very tasty spicy/floral and grassy flavor notes. Hop bitterness is very bright and clean on the finish and well balanced to the malt. The body has a solid medium feel with smooth yet active carbonation.
Notes: This beer was very interesting and surprising. The malt was Octoberfest all the way but the hops were crisp snappy German Pilsner and they made for a very tasty combination.

Dec 29, 2009 Draught at Pony Bar, New York
Light amber color. The aroma is too light. It has caramel flavor, but a rather dry mouthfeel, and also a bit dusty. Correct bitterness. The final is dry too. Boring.

Nov 16, 2009 I have to preface this by stating this is one of my favorite beers from Victory, which is one of my favorite breweries.
Served in a flight glass at the brewpub. Light gold-amber body with white head. Aroma of apple and yeast. Fruity flavor of apple and prune, slight sweetness, malty yeast and slight bread flavor with light floral hop flavor. Slightly bread-like finish.
