12 oz. bottle. Aroma heavy of floral hops and barley. Appearance is a cinnamon-reddish color with plentiful internal carbonation. Head is fluffy off white. Flavor initially of grain moving to heavy hops and finishing with a nice malty aftertaste. Hoppier than I’d expected, though I’m not sure why. I think I’d rather drink this beer in the fall and pair with some of the heavier fall fare such as brats, sauerkraut and warm potato salad. It seems that the hoppy nature would offer a nice accompaniment.

Dec. 2007 - Copper/honey color with nice pillowy head and good lacing. Strong grapefruit aroma. Thick oily grapefruit flavor with some caramel and teabags. Nice big beer at a nice pricetag. Good job!

Amber in color with a slight head. Sweet and lacking in the aroma with hoppiness that gives it a citrus character. Hoppy in the taste with some grains.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of canned pineapple, citrusy syrup, and pine. Flavor of hops (syrupy citrus, light pine), caramel malt, maple syrup, and some nuts.
