Poured into a chalice a nice hazy dark golden yellow color, nice carbonation, nice little creamy one-finger head, with some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, with some nice malt notes, citrus and pines. The taste is hoppy, nicely balanced malts, very nice citrus and slight pine notes. Medium body. Very drinkable, I really like this one, it’s been awhile since I’ve had a really good brew from Avery, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Thanks Tim.

On tap at the Brick Store. Pours light copper with a nice head. The aroma is strong and woody. Oddly, it seems aged. I get hints at cheese, pine, cedar, caramel. . .the flavor is pretty cheesy as well. This is a relatively new release and it’s on tap at the Brick Store who rotates kegs pretty quickly. Why does this seem old? Malts are present with a vanilla sweetness and nips of lemon and pine come out here and there. This is decent, but I’d like much more zest in my hoppy beers.

Nov 19, 2008 Pours a medium yellow color, roughly the same hue as Deschutes Mirror Pond Ale. Much lighter than I anticipated. Huge white head and a big whiff of bananas in the aroma along with a bready, yeasty sort of tang. Cloudy with a heavy malt aftertaste along with pine and a big alcohol taste in the back end. Enjoyed on Election Day and patiently waited til now to be able to rate.

Nov 19, 2008 Reviewed 11/4/2008 (bottle): Pours a pale yellowish body, with a very clear non-fizzy body. Good sized white head, but diminishing. Hoppy grapefruity aroma. Sweet syrupy smell like fig, plum. Bitter taste, sweetness & maltiness. Strong taste, alcoholy. Waiting for it to warm up...Strong grapefruitiness. Dry aftertaste. Not my thing, too much bitter for me.
