May 26, 2008 DFW tasting 2008. Thanks again to bu11zeye for sharing! Pours a light amber with a thin head. Aroma is slightly hoppy like an IPA style. flavor is the same, maybe there are cascades in this thing? I really liked it for an amber. Cheers!

May 24, 2008 Thanks to TimE for providing the bottle. A very orange copper glow on this brew. Aroma is fruity and floral with noticeable bitter hops. Flavor is of sweet malts, citrus fruit, bitter but only on the sides of the tongue. The flavor doesn’t last very long. Good, but not great.

May 6, 2008 Bottle (batch 001).
Head is initially large, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting.
Body is clear light amber.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, cookie, caramel), moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot, orange), with a hint of dried mango.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation.
A damned fine Bitter. As this warmed, I kept waiting for dough, metal, or diacetyl aromas to spring out, but they never did. Refreshingly assertive bitterness of the low-alpha type and thus very clean...virtually perfect balance that makes it extremely hard to stop drinking. Not "exciting" per se (the aroma is attractive, but fairly straightforward), but then again the style rarely is. Remarkably enjoyable to just sit back and quaff...would be a perfect pub offering. Pretty much flawless. Attention to detail was clearly devoted during brewing...not a single rough edge to be found by my senses. Major kudos to the brewer on this one.
