(Brewgrass08) Clear amber body topped by off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, orange. Taste is medium sweet, orange, bread, light earthy. Light-medium body, light crispness.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 01/10/2005 Amber coloured and strong in alcohol with fruit and floral aromas. Bitter lasting finish.

GABF 2006. Bronze body. Small off-white head. Nose is malty and spicy with a nice hop bite to it. Taste is much the same with caramel, sweet maltiness and spicy hops. Rather tasty! Body is medium with mild carbonation. More malts and spicy hops round this out. I need to get to Foothills Brewing!

Growler from Green’s in Columbia. Caramel malt and metallic hops aroma. Dark amber with nice big head. Light caramel malt and hops but with a fairly strong metallic flavor as well. Mild carbonation - decent drinkable festbier.
