Amber with a big white head. Very hoppy aroma, not explicitly American in character which is pretty refreshing. Lots of peppery earthy notes combined with some grapefruit and toffee. Body is quite bitter and a bit sweet which works together well. Spritzy mouthful tends to be a bit on the abrasive side. Simple but enjoyable combination of crystal malt flavours and some fresh resiny hops, tasting more english than American now. Sharp, quick finish.

Jul 22, 2008 Not much to talk about, medium malts with some concentration of hops. it gives of a off flavor vibe.

Jul 22, 2008 The aroma is piny with citrus and caramel. The appearance is amber with a large tan head. The flavor is astringent and malty with plenty of hops. The palate is thin. Overall it’s average.

Jul 15, 2008 Dark clear amber, creamy off white head. Toasty pink grapefruit and earthy aromas warm to lighter notes of chocolate black tea and caramel. Earthed grapefruit flavors and kisses of pine balance well on notes of sweet toasted caramel grains. Light to medium bodied, light carbonation, soft bittersweet finish. Easy to put a few of these away…

Jul 15, 2008 120z bottle. The aroma was of light grapefruity hops, caramel, and toffee. Poured a clear dark orange color. The head was thick, rocky, and off white with good retention and lacing. Good looking beer. Medium bodied and slightly sweet without any significant hop bitterness. Spicy malt flavors came out up front with some brown sugar and flowery hops. Distinct graham cracker and some caramel emerged at the end. Solid amber. There’s a good chance that even a casual beer drinker would like this one.
