on tap at GTMW ’08. pours hazy golden with white head. touch of rye, bourbon, citrus hoppy notes, nice nose. flavor is pretty sweet, hop bitterness has faded, sort of a citrus tartness. not overly barrel aged. okay but a bit too sweet and boozy.

Handbottle from my main man mike, BBB63. Thanks so much. All I gotta say is this sounds exciting. Pours rich orange with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet and citrussy and overall very nice. Taste is complex and full of citrus while retaining some interesting rye characteristics. This is incredibly smooth and very tasty. Drool I want more.

GTMW! Hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma was skunky hops, caramel, coconut. Flavor was orange peel, funky hopes, pineapple, and more coconut. Very bitter finish.

On tap at GTMW. Poured hazy, deeper amber with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up juicy grapefruit with just a hint of oak and rye whiskey.. sweet overall with a very delicately-balanced barrel integration. The flavor was much drier than the nose with older grapefruit meat and caramel at the core.. barrel highlights on the back-end showing dry whiskey and lightly-sour oak.. seemed like it was missing some of its hops from the aging. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. solid, but better on the nose.

GTMW 2008 <b>&#40;and about 2 full pours in a pint glass because I rock and you don’t&#41;: </b>Amber hue with a very good frothy head and good lace on my LIVERY PINT GLASS. The nose is RYE BABY along with floral and herbal hops, pineapple and mango, bready and grainy malts. The taste is twangy and tart with a moderate sweet pale malt background. Spicy peppery finish. The mouth feel is highly aggressive and sprite, utterly refreshing and dangerous. Ths is simply WONDERFUL and takes the base Cousin Jax to a new level of beer geekdom IMO. &#40;FYI, MIBRomeo is a big wussy, haha&#41;
