Draft at The Brewery at Union Station. Copper colored and good head. Hoppy on the palate with a strong taste of alcohol. Good beer to sample, but not a regular drinker for me.

Bottle. From sampler pack. Pretty good. Doesn’t taste too strong. Still, pretty rich and flavorful.

Bottle from Pat’s. Deep copper pour, with caramel malt and slight fruit and hop aromas. Medium to light palate, with the malt and slight fruit flavors, but it doesn’t really gel for me.

Thanks yet again to my wife the traveling beer gathering fool. Brought me a 6er home. It must be love. For Western PA a surprising critter of a beer, but overall average for the states. crisp and a bit hoppy. not too heavy. Id drink more regularly if available.

whoa, this is not good. i’m not sure if it will make me sick or not. I bought this because i’d never seen it before and i’m running out of beers to drink at it had the most alochol of the beers from this company. Aroma is malty and like potatoes. caramel, potatoes, and some type of hop that sucks.

Pretty average beer, a little bit more flavor than the amber from Erie, dark copper color, very small off-white head, a little bit of lacing down the glass, malty nose with a slight hint of caramel, medium body but thin flavors, only a small hint of caramel & lemon with a malty but dry finish, nothing exciting

This ale poured a cloudy orange colour with a off white foamy head. Sour to the nose, slight vomit scent. If you can get past that you might get a little hop and some grassy notes. first taste is a bitter musty??? taste. Very malty flavoured with a little bread flavour. Finish is bitter with lingering hops. Thick feeling on the palate.
