BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 2, 2009 All shades of copper with a fluffy white head. Aroma and flavor exhibit notes of caramel malt, honey and citrus. A bit of biscuit in this one as well. Solid but not a great one. GG (1612), NorCal, California, USA Jun 2, 2009 I’ve had multiple chances at getting this beer over the years and finally made the move ona recent trip to Costa Mesa. The beer pours out a burnt orange with a nice 2" foamy head. Honey sweet aroma with notes of berries, toasted bread/pie crust, and just a hint of toffee. Flavor has a really strong juicy citrus hop flavor, a nice malt sweetness (reminds me of pears) and subtle apples. High carbonation knocks it down a bit for me. Very nice overall though. Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA May 29, 2009 The pour was a coppery brown swirl sitting beneath a one-finger tall off-white head. The aroma was light malt with lots of sour notes. The flavor was very sour. Astringent mouthfeel. I’m gonna go with "infection" on this one. It was off. Will have to rerate. sdk (33), Island Bay, New Zealand May 26, 2009 6 fl.oz bottle. Pours a nice reddy brown. Nice nose, good flavour and mouth feel. Would definitely have another. dmac (1418), Toms River, New Jersey, USA May 20, 2009 22 oz bottle from padrefan98, thanks bro. Pours a good looking brownish burnt orange with ana verage size mostly white foamy head that leaves some lace and a nice tiny 1/16 inch head covers the entire body for the duration. Aroma was slightly sweet with honey and floral notes over a doughy body. Medium bodied with a good dose of carbonation and a slightly chalky mouthfeel and a bitter finish. Flavor is slighlier sweeter then the aroma with an almost peach nectar taste hidden inside lots of grainy cereal and biscuit notes. This was the perfect beer to sit inmy backyard and enjoy after several hours of yardwork. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA May 15, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours orangish brown in color with tan head which does not last long. Aroma sweet, caramel and roasted malt. Taste roasted malt and bitter hops with bitter finish.
