Brewgrass 2012 I found a missing ratings book! Hazy gold, thin white head. Light malt aroma. The flavor is light malt sweetness with a bit of bitterness in the finish.

On tap at LAB. Nice and malty with a semi-firm hop bitterness. Medium body. A small amount of heat to the finish

on tap 7/15/11. typical color if not a little lighter. there is a woody/card boardy thing in the nose... mixed with floral hand soap, orange and caramel. the flavor is the same... but with some numbing herbal hops and a distinct mineral content... both of which are out of place and awkward. 6/3/6/3/13-

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy orange color with a large creamy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of toffee, caramel, apple and berries. The taste is caramel, earthy notes, green apple, toffee, stone fruits. Medium bodied.

Draft. Pours orange with a thin off white head. Lightly sweet and toasted malty aroma. The flavor has sweet toffee, toasty and bready malts, and a light sweetness. Not bad.

Draft at the brewpub. This is what I’d call a "recipe beer" -- nothing technically wrong with it, but not necessarily to style and not noteworthy. This is a bit too hoppy and there isn’t enough malt. This is more of a mellow pale ale and I would doubt this is lagered. Maybe call this an Autumn Ale?

Clear copper pour with a thin tan head. Loads of caramel with just a touch hallteau hops. Decent and this falls into the style guidelines

Tap at LAB - pours a clear orange with little white head. Caramelized pineapple on the nose. Taste is slightly sweet, leaves you thirsting for more. Overall, quite good.

Draft at Lexington Avenue Brewery. Pours light brown with a thin white head. Nice clean maltiness on the nose. You definitely get the malt as soon as you pour it in your mouth. It also has a slight warming quality. Finishes really clean and crisp. Nice!
