May 16, 2005 12 oz bottle. Hazy-to-opaque reddish amber, slightly yeasty-looking, thick beautiful head dies fairly quickly...big citrusy nose, touch oaky and pungently hoppy...somewhat rough initial mouthfeel, smoothes out quickly with a fairly sweet, fruity-acidic texture and dry woody backdrop...could use a bit more malt and body, but overall this is quality stuff, with just the right carbonation and a memorable flavor/aroma profile.

Aug 7, 2008 Tap at Ginger Man. Amber beer, slightly hazy and topped by a creamy white head. Aroma is lightly sweet and malty with a fairly prominent butterscotchy nose. A bit oxidized as well. There is a sweet crystal/caramel nuttiness behind a herbal/woody hoppiness. Flavour is quite hoppy with a light fuggles-esque character along with some lightly yeasty character. Bread crusts and a touch of pear/peachy fruitiness. Despite all of the positive individual characteristics, this beer never really comes together for me.
