shintriad (698), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 11, 2008 Minty, somewhat hoppy scent. Slightly cloudy light amber. Buttery toffee malts and refreshing floral bitterness. More traditional than you’d expect!
estoppel (1023), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 29, 2008 Draft at brewpub. Light amber body, slight hops in nose, smallish head. Slightly fruity, slightly herbal/spicy, some bready notes, decent. hopson (525), Williamsville, New York, USA Oct 27, 2008 bottle- undoubtedly infected- inappropriate clove/bananna flavors with darkening in the cap- not a bit of a pale ale in there. unfortunate- would try fresh. sebletitje (579), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 25, 2008 Pours copper/orange, white head.
Aroma, yeasty, hoppy.
Taste, reminded me a lot of Freaktoberfest, has this sirupy, medicinal taste almost like grenadine.
Fruity with some citrus / grapefruit, and a strong hoppy aftertaste.
Bitter finish, almost too much. Darkover (1230), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 21, 2008 Dark golden color with a huge long lasting beige head. Aroma is sweet and musty with some sour citrus notes. Strangely bitter, musty and vegetation flavor. Bockyhorsey (2056), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 20, 2008 12oz bottle from SS summer 08. Musty malt aroma. Gold body with big off white head. Starts out with some sweet malts and somewhat metalic. There was some dry fruit and bitterness. Rather mild brew, thanks Alan.
