Pours a true amber color with a very sparse head that fades quickly. Very fast moving carbonation (bubbly looking). At first the smell of caramel takes over the grapefruit hops, biscuit, light raisin and barely present spiciness. Very crisp and smooth tasting with a clean pine, fig, grapefruit and deep caramel play off one another to create a fairly complex dance in a sea of medium carbonation. Feels medium bodied full of flavors that don’t overwhelm rather lend complexity to each other to enhance the mouthfeel of this really good beer. This is a must try. You may like it, you may not. You should pick this one up and give it a shot! Damn Tasty!

A great amber..probably speakeasy’s best beer. Pours a beautiful darkish red. Strikes a fine balance between the malt and a bit of a hop kick. well balanced. a pondering beer on a sunday afternoon

<i>Bottle from the Freakin’ Frog, Las Vegas</i><br />Red-amber color. It has a moderate hoppy aroma, a bit resiny. The mouthfeel is quite dry, with dry toffee flavor, but with a fair hopping. Pleasant, as usual from Speakeasy.

Pours a slightly hazy pale amber with a sturdy off-white head. The nose is full of peppery spice, mildly roasted malt, caramel and citric zest. The flavour initially is charaterized by citric hops and Munich malts, mild cocoa and earth. The palate is nearly perfect, medium bodied, nicely carbonated, a little watery, and a drying in the finish. It is well-hopped as the zest shines through. Very nice session brew.

Pours a thin white head with a cloudy orange amber color. The nose is nice and floral with hints of pine and caramel. The flavor initially is nice and bitter and hits your palate really hard. but after you finish the sip the flavor dies rather quick and the finish is somewhat watery. Overall it is a good brew and has a nice bitterness that sticks for a while but the full flavor dies after you sip it.
