Almost clear. Malty and fruity aroma. Small white head. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, bitterness, fruitiness, lots of hops and bitterness in taste. Malty and bitter aftertaste. FlssmrBrewAlum (1079), Lisle, Illinois, USA 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! curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA 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. HighWine (163), , California, USA Apr 12, 2009 Tap at Sacramento Brewing Co. Robust hop nose. Taste is very bitter with roast but no malt sweetness to balance it out. Bitterness lingers long on the palate. dionysus (95), Arizona, USA Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Pour is a deep red-brown with an extremely thin tan head. Aroma is basically caramel w/ a slight hint of grass. Tastes of caramel and toast with some slight dark fruit. Mouthfeel is relatively weighted with a dry, bitter finish. alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 8, 2009 Thick cloudy orange brown color with a thin off-white head. Hoppy aroma with fruit and caramel. Flavor of caramel and dark fruit with a dry hoppy finish.
