2008-04-18. Dark amber body with small white head. Aroma of strange malt, slightly inappropriate notes I may be reading too much into. Pleasant hoppy bitterness up front, sweet lightly toasty malts in the middle, finish is sort of harsh with astringent bitterness. Average palate. Just can’t get into this one. Bottle from Karen’s Seattle Trip

[Bottle] shared by skyview. Pours a clearish caramel with a small soapy beige head. Aroma is lots of caramel and raisin, alcohol, and a little vanilla. Bitter, caramel, raisin, chalky, citric hops, and a medium mouthfeel.

Bottle… Post RBSG ’08 O-Town/Vero Beach Throwdown Chapter 8… Hazy, light amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. Very discreet, malty aroma. Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Leans on the bitter side of balance. Lengthy, modestly bitter finish.

On tap at the all three locations and in bombers over the years. Had up to a 3 yr aged. Pours a darker amber with some lighter orangey red tones to it. Piney dark fruit and malted aroma that’s fairly heavy, alochol is noticable. Flavor is big and malty with lots of fruit intertwined with a thick bready yeast body. Medium to thick. Fairly carbonated allowing spice to bounce across the tongue. Finishes heavy in the piney citrus realm borderlining an IPA. Good stuff! With aged, the hops mellow fairly and the plummy dark fruit malts stant out a bit more. Recommended.

Mild hop and malt aroma. Sweet caramel and malt in the flavor, some light, dried fruits, and malt. The alcohol is perceivable. Low carbonation. Smooth, full palate. Solid all around.

Pours a lightly hazy dark orange color, with a small off white head. Smells of a pretty decent juicy hop presence, with an evident malt character, and some yeast. The flavor has a good amount of hops as well, providing a sharp bitterness on the palate. Some malt and citrus are their for some complexity. Lots of bready yeast in the finish which I didnt care for much, but still drank pretty nice. Hoppier than I thought it would be.
