(Draught) rich copper color with very few bubbles. Nose of citrus hops, rye, and candied fruit. Some light funky aromas as well. Taste of spicy peppercorn, rye, candied oranges and orange marmalade.

Strange aroma that just satisfying in some way I cannot describe you just have to smell it. Good lacing. A little sweet and carbonatedly malty. Kinda straight and narrow and middle of the road. Nothing dominates... no one flavor.

Thanks to mar for sharing this growler. The beer pours a dark brownish-orange color with a white head. The aroma is very inviting. I get a lot of toffee malt as well as some bread. The hop aroma is a mix of grassy and piney hops, but overall the beer has a very balanced aroma. The flavor is a great mix of toffee malt and grassy hops. I also get some bready malt and a little bit of citrus from the hops, but it is quite faint. All of the flavors meld well together and make a very balanced, easy to drink American Pale Ale. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Amber with a cream head, tap at the brewpub. Nose is fresh bitter hops, citrus, and fruits. Smooth palate, big citrusy hops upfront with a bitter finish.

on tap at the brewpub. poured copper with a white head. aroma and flavor were pine, caramel, and grain with a light body and low carbonation.

Stop staring at my tail!! .. . pours a light lincoln penny, medium foam .. . notes of citrus, syrup and tree shavings .. . nicely balanced for a pale, enjoyable summer day drink .. . Why the fuck do we need four more people on at this time of day, man? Look at this place, it’s fucking dead! I swear, Dan needs to clean the *shit* out of his fucking brain sometimes, man. Fucking asshole. ..What are you looking at, fuck-wad?

On tap at the brewpub. Split the pitcher with DarkBeerChick :o) I am a lucky guy!!!! Poured a clear, dark copper body with some ivory head leaving nice lacing. Aromas of hops, spicyness and some caramel malt. Flavors follow the nose, is medium sweet (citrus) and finishes with a medium citrus/floral bitter ending.

On tap at Freetail. Orangey-copper with medium head leaving some lacing on the glass. Aroma is malty, hoppy, peppery. Nice carbonation. Refreshing. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. Great with pizza!
