(bottle) Medium hazy amber with a hint of red, nice off-white head. Aroma of slightly sweet malt. Flavor is sweetish malt.

Found this one bottled at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Medium reddish-orange pour with a lacy, rapidly dissipating head, a sweet carmel-apple nose, a bit sweet like blueberries or cotton candy, with a bit of floral hoppiness. Pretty good.

Bottled. Caramel with a light cream-colored head. Mild, almost non-existant nose. Thick on palate, some berry flavor, some malts and hops.

Marigold and hay aroma. Color is deep amber, almost red, and not terribly clear. It has a thick tan head and leaves good lacing. The taste is biting and sour. There is a rather nice balance of grapefruit and hops. At times, yeast can be tasted, but only a very little. Finish is lime and quite refreshing.

12 oz. bottle. Cloudy tanish color. Aroma is sweet, with some spices in there. Taste had a slightly sour flavor, a bit like how other previous people have commented on - a little copper, a little odd. There’s no way this many around the country have just been infected. Was better cold before it began to warm.

Hazy tan, with a huge billowy head (think rootbeer float). Aroma is sweet, very spicy (coriander, celery seed, orange zest), and I’m also thinking infection. Flavor is yeasty , malts at the forefront remind of dark toast, and I think this is infected with some bret, because I taste sour horse-blanket, followed by a very metallic, old-penny section, the the celery seed, then a long, grassy finish. This yeasyness and infection reminds me of a beer I had a few years ago that gave me horrible gas for days. God, let’s hope not. I definitely need to try this fresh.

a little skunky/natty ice... appearance great but we like more head... good amber ale flavor but disappears without leaving anything behind as soon as it leaves my throat

Pours a hazy orange-copper. The nose is a dull citrus, candy, and a hint of hops. The taste is an odd somewhat sour citrus, light hops, and a little musty. It also feels a little oily in the mouth.
