2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 garretjax (103) - Colorado, USA - MAR 19, 2008
Copper amber colors with a large white head. A soft malt balanced by the sharp bitterness of the hops aroma. Malty hoppiness or orange citrus and carmel flavors. Light body and medium carbonation. A sweet bitterness to the short finish.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep copper color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of English bitter dry hops is dominating. Taste is a mix between some light caramel malt with some English dry hops. Medium body with some average carbonation. A bit over the op for the style but still enjoyable and easily drinkable.

Bottle. Orange pour with tons of little floaties and a HUGE fluffy off-white head that leaves chunks of lace. Aroma of mandarin oranges, orange peels, grapefruits, flowers and hints of pumpkin spices. Taste is very subdued and definitely not anywhere near as bitter as I would’ve expected. Pretty well-balanced actually. Plenty of sweet malts with a tangy, bitter hoppy finish. I picked this up as an afterthought but this is damn good and vastly underrated.

bottle poured an amber in color with a nice thick light tan frothy head and steady carbination. aromas of malt, fruited bitter hops, and minerals. mouth feel is medium light but has some chewiness. flavor is malted, mildly bitter, some sharp hops, minerals, and back round sweetness. certainly an easy beer to drink. lemon peels and fruit come forward as it warms adding to the sharp hops. bitterness level is just right for this brew.

Light copper brown with a small fluffy white head. Citrus and malty aroma. Sweet honey like malty taste with a mild smooth bitterness to the finish.

Pours a dark golden color with a lot of particulate. Aroma is citrus, some spice, and malts. Taste is caramel, a hint of ginger, woody, a bit of citrus and malts. Different.......not sure if in a good way or bad way.

Smells a little like mild slag. Rather bitter initially, but not over the top. A little rubbery at times. Weirdly savory! Looks like darker ginger ale. Rubber palate carries over to the finish.

Citrus and spicy nose. Honey orange color. mild resiny bitterness. Decent malt balance, could be a little sweeter. Good body, pillowy head. A solid ESB
