Mar 2, 2008 bottle labeled special release poured in a trappist glass has a caramel amber color with some unfiltered sediment and a thick initial head of white froth. aroma has caramel malt, sweet peach, lemon peel, light alcohol, and pine hops. mouth feel is light and coating with appropriate carbination present. flavors are malty based with lemon rind, sappy pine hops, and caramel. decent dose of sweetness and well rounded flavors. finishes with light biter hops and malted caramel. smooth and well combined and does have a well integrated creamy body and texture. a nice ale that is a little different giving it some uniqueness.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Piney hops and some malt in the aroma. Good, but maybe a bit simple. The flavor is more pronounced on the malt, with a good sweetness, as well as piney hops, finishing with a long, bitter, fruity and piney flavor. Full body. Nice beer, but not outstanding. (080118)

Feb 25, 2008 Thanks to Ian for the 12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a thick white head. Aroma is creamy and malty, but accented by lot of citrusy hops. Taste has lots of caramel malt, malt sweetness with a thick body and lots of hops. Goes down very smooth and leaves just a little hop bitter finish.

Feb 24, 2008 22 oz bottle. Hazy orange body with a medium white head. Aroma is dominated by citrus/hops. Flavor is fruity, light malty, bitter and a bit sweet. Harmonic and a bit straight forward.

Feb 19, 2008 Bright coppery colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized yellow head. Fruity and sweet, plummy aroma even with appricot and grains, some licorice and lemon also present. Medium alcohol comes up. Medium bodied. Flavor is surprisingly hopped with fruity appricot in start, aftertaste has medium and lasting alcohol. Well, too alcoholic and aroma is totally different from flavor.

Feb 11, 2008 Bottle, 7.6%. Dusty, grassy hop aroma, quite malty. Hazy copper colour, small white head. Distinct bitter on the front of the tongue, not unpleasant. Quite malty. Hint of liquorice flavour? There seems to be a little soy in an otherwise OK finish. Creamy carbonation. Quite flavourful, but hides the alcohol well, even though it could have done with less alcohol.

Feb 4, 2008 On tap at Horse & Plow
Pours a light orange with light, quickly disappearing head. Some carbonation but not a lot. Hoppy aroma contains a lot of pine and citrus. Heavy Grapefruit. Bitter hops up front with a nice malt backbone. I agree with previous reviews, this is more of an IPA than a Cream Ale. I loved this beer!

Feb 2, 2008 Hazy amber with mediaum off white head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with malt and loads of hops. Same goes for the flavor with waming alcohol and a nice hop bite in the end. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy.
