Draft at BMRAF 08. Poured hazy amber color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sour citrus, malt and earthy aroma. Medium body. Medium bitter & sour flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.

Jun 18, 2008 Enjoyed at the Smokehouse location. In a word, it’s OK. Bit of light colour with a white head.No aroma. Taste of sweet caramel. Expecting something noticeable hoppy, and at 7.5 - tastier.. Maybe one day long ago it was and the recipe has tilted the kilt side of the ledger. Lower score as a strong.

Apr 30, 2008 Interesting blend of the IPA and the Scottish Export. Pours a dark orange. I get a toffee, mildly sweet smell with this with faint centennial hop undertones. I can taste the smokiness of the Scottish Export and the pale floral and light citrus-ness of the IPA but together they more separate than blend. Not sure these are the best complement to each other.

Apr 19, 2008 On draught at the Smokehouse last weekend. The beer pours a hazy dark copper color with a medium beige head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Aroma of earthy malt, citrus and hops. Medium body with flavors of bready malt and citrusy hops, with light smoke and spice in the background. The finish is moderately bitter hops that linger awhile. Barley’s does not seem to do blends very often, and I am not sure if this beer is an argument for or against them attempting it again. Overall this is an interesting beer but not one that would be at the top of my list on future visits.

Apr 13, 2008 On tap @ the Smokehouse: Pours a hazy orange gold with a white head. Aroma, citrus, some slight smoky/peaty notes, bready malts. Flavor, slight peat, herbal and citrus hops, smoky, sweet pale malts in the background. Pretty tasty.
