Aug 31, 2009 Sampled June 28th. This version is cloudy dark reddish brown. Aroma is sweet and really nice. Caramel and some hops. Flavor is juicy sweet and hoppy. a bit of a lingering hops finish but not bad.

Jul 10, 2009 Draft at brewpub. What can I say... aroma is dry, hoppy and bitter. Flavor is more of the same. The body is nice and medium, but really not much going on with this beer.

May 2, 2009 Sampled on tap at the brewpub. This is a really hard beer to rate because they intentionally change the recipe every time. I actually like that concept though. This version was 7% abv and poured a hazy, orange with a whispy white head. Aroma is hoppy, grapefruit, pine, leoms, with a touch of grain. Flavor was mostly hops, more lemons, pine and grapefruit with also some crisp malts, crackers too. Bitter finish. Sessionable.

May 2, 2009 Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit, pine, and a nice resiny flavor. Good bitterness. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and pine resin lingers.

Mar 10, 2009 Overall Impression:
I haven’t made a trip to Franklin’s in years, and I’m only about 20 minutes away, but back in the ’04-’05 range I tried a few different batches of this beer, and it usually ranged in the mid-3s, so I’ll give it the generic 3.5 for arguments sake...

Feb 9, 2009 Pours a darker honey with a foamy off-white head. Slightly sweet and citrusy aroma of Cascade hops. Very hop heavy flavor. You can feel the hop oils in your mouth. Lends to a creamy, mild malt base. Very smooth and only slightly bitter.

Jan 30, 2009 Anarchy ale on tap. Pours amber brown with off white head. Great Cascade hop aroma. Flavor is a lot of hops but remains balanced. Good fruit flavors. nice bitterness but not over the top. Hop heads would enjoy.
