kevd193213 (295), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Apr 28, 2008 Bottle. Orange-copper hazy pour with tan head. Aroma of fruit and hops. Taste of citrus and caramel. Nice finish. bu11zeye (3572), Frisco, Texas, USA Mar 3, 2008 (Draft) Pours a lightly hazy copper body with medium beige head. Aroma of peach, caramel, breadiness, banana, and light orange peel. Flavor of citrus/grassy hops, bread, caramel, and some unidentifiable fruit and vegetable notes. The_Captain (251), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 9, 2008 Bottle. Dark copper color, cloudy. Nice Off white head, little if any lacing but small foam lingers throughout. Some floaters and sediment, in cold storage for about 6 months but did not mar the taste. Aroma of caramel-hops. Malty yeast and hops pallet with a dry caramel bitter sweet flavor, no lingering bitter after taste. Good all around flavor and full body. Like to find this again. hopdog (4444), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 14, 2007 12oz bottle. Poured a deeper and lightly hazy amberish color wtih a huge sized off white head. Aromas of fruitiness, caramel, dark fruits, and light yeast. Tastes of caramel, dart fruits, lightly tart cherries, and burnt brown sugar. Light alcohol in the finish. sstackho (198), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 24, 2007 Updated: Jun 3, 200712oz bottle, with no obvious freshness date - just an obscure code. Pours a surprisingly rich dark copper that I wasn’t expecting. Floaty chunks could be seen in the bottle before opening, but not once poured. Aroma is spicy and rather nice, but not particularly hoppy. Initial taste is crisp and sparkly from carbonation, that quickly blends into a nicely rich full taste. There’s a nice little bit of spiciness to the taste that is nicely balanced with the hops, along with some fruitiness. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this beer. I thought that this was like an IPA, but I got something quite different and pleasing instead. I wish more were made like this. This was delicious.
