At the brewery - Medium red with a thin head. Sweetish malt with some floral hops in the nose. Medium bodied. Flavor is lightly sweet malt finishing with piney, citrusy hops. Decent.

This one is amber in color with an off-white head. Smells of bread and toasted malt with a bit of pine and floral hop character. There is a touch of citrus peel, too. A very light fruitiness and citrus flavor with quite a bit of toast and bread sweetness. The bitterness is a bit more pronounced than expected with pine hop flavors coming through strongly.

Pours a clear brown with modrate head from tap that quickly dissipates leaving small amount of pacing. Prominent caramel malt. Resinous and grassy hops that is moderatly bitter. Very long bitter finish. Moderate carbonation with chewy and sticky palate.bling bitter finish. Ooverall pretty good. Addendum after further review. I agree with past review of biscuit flavors.

Clear reddish golden with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Tastes of toasted cereal grain oats and lactose with an earthy finish and a soft palate. Light bitterness throughout.

Amber pour, offwhite head. Aroma is loaded with some dank hops, caramel, bready notes. Flavor follows suit, caramel, hops, bitter finish. Ok.

Light brown coloured beer with some very light carbonation with a very short white head. Bitter touched hoppy aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is light bitter and wattery hoppy hinted. Rather short dry bitter ending but misses some character. Nevertheless my favorite brew at Flagstaff.

hazy reddish amber with a thin whitish head. smells like dirt... i’m starting to see a trend in hopping. might be the hippies though. floral nose mixes with earth, spicy hops, caramel and orange peels. the flavor is a richer version of the same with a little bit of astringency on a dry finish. the body is medium though it feels a bit thicker than the typical esb. 6.5/4/6.5/3/14/3.4

A dark amber pour with off white head and lace. Caramel malt and a hint of sour, and earthy hops. Caramel malt and the same hint of sour followed by a very light bitter and a yeastiness. Medium bodied with aggressive carbonation. This day was not this beers best day.

On tap @ FBC. Crystal clear burnt orange/fiery amber body with good carbonation that produces a solid ivory head. Delicate lacing clung to the glass. Flavor is caramel, fruit, and honey covered buttermilk biscuit. Aroma is quite fruity and sweet. Pretty damn good beer.

on tap-pours a retaining patchy off white head and hazy copper color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel. Taste is medium malt-sweet caramel, secondary spice/pine hops. Medium body. OK effervescence.

draft at the brewpub - Pours copper with a lingering head that leaves excellent lacing. It smells of fruity, bready malt. The flavor is moderately hopped with a touch of fruit. It finishes dry and bitter.
