Sep 1, 2008 Bottle. Brought back from Outer Banks vacation. Had at a local seafood restaurant and had to have more. Pours rick amber with a nice head. Caramel malts and toffee. Slightly sour finish. Definitely one of WR’s better brews.

Aug 24, 2008 0.5L bottle. Orange-brown, semi-cloudy, very small white head. Aroma is very much cereal, grain, bread, with faint caramel. Flavor is grainy, some more caramel. Finish is citrus, slightly dry, slightly malty. Would like a touch more maltiness, little less bread, but not too bad.

Aug 2, 2008 500mL Bottle. Dirty, infected grain nose. Rotting. Stinky. And just plain lactic nasty. I think there’s diacetyl in here, but I
wouldn’t know. Pours a really clouded amber-brown with a rim in white. Flavor is just as revolting. A tangy, messy
yeast-dirty mineral bath of mud, rotting cow cud, and manure. Skanky. Palate is thin and biting. Drain pour.
Garbage.

Jul 9, 2008 Could be the best of the summer brews for me at least. On tap at the brewery in Jarvisburg, pours amber with a nice head. Taste is old style bread and malt. Nice dry finish.

Apr 7, 2008 500ml bottle from OldGrowth. Head weak, as was lacing. Amber, almost copper color. Aroma was caramel, some grass. Flavor was caramel, grass in the fore, some tea bags, and spicey elements in the finish. Mouthfeel was moderate, fairly balanced malt and hops. Decent take on the style, but not a fav. Thanks, Tom, always liking a shot at a new alt!
