Mar 18, 2009 Draft. Reddish amber with a light beige head. Aroma is hoppy with some caremel and alcohol. Medium bodied with a very smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is lightly sweet with decent hop bitterness. Strong alcohol up front, which eventually recedes and some malt and caramel become present. Good.

Mar 8, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Very sweet on the nose with a syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor is also quite sweet with a nice rush of bittering hops blowing through the finish. It’s a little hot from the alcohol. Neither a hit nor a miss, but more of a hit than a miss.
