May 15, 2008 Bottle shared at DLD. Pours hazy amber with thin off white head. Aroma is brett, hops, and bready. Flavor is just that with a touch of etoh.

May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted through most of the glass and left lots of sticky lace. Pleasant aroma of malt, hops and a bit of yeast. The flavor was very similar with malt up front follwed up with some moderate hops bitterness. Medium bodied with the alcohol very well hidden. Although this was a very solid beer, there is frankly nothing special about it.

May 7, 2008 On tap at 2nd LA party. A smooth and easy to drink beer. It has a bitter end, but works well. Very much like an ipa with a bit more depth in flavor.

May 5, 2008 Cloudy light amber. Full malty aroma - hints of bread, lush caramel. Hints of brett and ester. Crazy oak, rich malts, and a muscular alcoholic finish. Burly hop bitterness keeps it in balance.

May 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a 1+ finger off-white head. Aroma is somewhat yeasty, but with a good dose of malts and hops. Some fruit notes are also evident. Flavor is much the same, malt first, then some of the hops. Perhaps it is because I am not totally familiar with this style, but this almost tasted like a hopped up dubbel. Crisp and very drinkable.
