Dec 27, 2009 a dark cloudy brown. good head retention. a crisp piney, spearmint, american hop aroma. flavor is sweet for a second and then turns to scraping bitter hops. theres a sharp acidic brightness as well. medium body, fairly creamy, A bit too astringent for me.

Dec 18, 2009 Draught at Barcade, New York
Amber color. The aroma is slightly hoppy and resiny, as expected, but not impressive. And indeed the flavor is too roasted: roasted nuts and roasted malt. Strong bitterness. It doesn’t go in the direction that I like.

Oct 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours light copper in colour, with a nice frothy off-white head, which leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is earthy, herbal hops. Taste is super bitter. Carbonation is very fine, with a smooth, sweet finish.
