On-tap at PPSC. Pours a brown red copper color. Thin, sort of creamy white head with a good bit of lace. Smells sugary, caramel sweet. Tastes malty, caramelly sweet, dark and grainy with a little wood and brown sugar. Medium body with mellow carbonation.

Consumed on draft at Pizza Port Solana Beach 10/13/07. Beer pours a light, clear copper with good retention of its nice white head. Nose is mostly floral hops with a piny, resiny smell mixed. The flavor is dominated utterly by citrus hops with their characteristic sourness and bitterness. Mouthfeel is watery. The aftertatse is, surprise! Dominated by hops that linger literally for a minute on the tongue before fading. This is a straightforward hop juice with little complexity.

Tap. At the Avery 14th Anniversary party. A mild, but tone down Hog Heaven. Sticky with a nice hop aroma, not bitter at all.

Dark amber color with small white fizzy head. Dry taste with a hoppy finish. you can detect caramel in the smell and taste. First Avery beer I’ve had...pretty good beer.

Sampled on tap at Stone World Bistro. clearish amber color with a good head.. Very Hoppy aroma with a hint of maltiness. Flavor heas a healthy dose malt sweetness to go alogn with a nice hopiness. The waitress told me it was like salvation, which its not. I think the below reviewers have it right. its like a session barleywine.
