Apr 26, 2009 Big hop presence teetering between the realms of Pale Ale and IPA. Dark copper body with a spritzy white head. Citrus and flowery aroma. Bitter and filling, heavy malt body to counter the puckering hops. Tasted very nice, typical of a hopped up ale. Overall a nice selection, but would get lost among the other great pale ales.

Apr 21, 2009 Wow. Toffee, toffee, and more toffee. I’m not sure that any big time amber ale fans will find any typical resemblance, but that’s a good thing on my planet. Looks gorgeous, all dressed up a beaut. Aroma and flavor are balanced beautifully with what had to put the continental USA into a barley shortage, and a fine ever present bittering hop. Exeptional, full, satisfying mouthfeel. This by some west coast standards could be called a barleywine (not my standards). Thank You Green Flash. 2009 12oz.

Apr 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from hellbilly. Great extra! Pours a murky rusty pour, dark, with a tannish moderate head that laces some. A pretty impressive pour. Aromas are a little lighter than expected, pushing some carmel malts and floral hop nose. Ok, I guess. Initial preaches some nice citrusy lemon and grapefruit hop, light florals, and carmel malts to balance (but not enough). Mellow, with good hopping. I don’t like amber style beers, but this is sessionable and flavorful, with out overbearing carmel malts. Lingering citrusy finish with light sweetness. Good sessioner. Cheers!

Apr 14, 2009 Dark amber pour with a beige head. Pine vanilla and cherry or dark fruit aroma. Smooth creamy sweet then bitter. Very balanced and excellent bold taste for an amber.
