3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap. Slightly coudy amber color with nice white head. Aroma of citrus (grapefruit?) with both hops and malt. Taste starts with a sweet malt and finishs citrusy with the hops. Pretty good stuff.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium-large tan head atop a floatie-filled, opaque copper body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, bread. Taste is medium sweet, bready up top, before turning medium orange/citrus bitter. Medium body. Nice balanced beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Sourdough, citrus,orange and grapefruit, some skunk and tea leaves. Clean reddish orange color. little head, but plenty of bubbles in glass. Sweet and bitter, carmel and grapefruit. Big dry bitterness, thin body, very drinkable. Great beer, great brewer. You have to get to Brattleboro
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Caramel sweet aroma, touch of NW hops. Nice caramel malt flavor with a good touch of astringency and a dryish hoppy finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
High flying, resinous hop darts giving a ride to a few chile peppers...A peaceful, cask-like feel smothered in caramel oranges smoothens the hops' initial belligerence...A light, quaffable hop juice to warm the heart and tongue...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a golden amber, slightly transparent with a clean, thin, lingering head. Malting floor aroma with some sweet candy malt as well as a thin whisp of hops. Flavours include some piney malt, white grapes and toasted wheat. Grainy palate that has texture but doesn't last. Some interesting things here, but I am not sure if they are working together to make a great beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured very nice out of the bottle with a lovely frothy head. The first few sips were fine, but then things settled down a bit and it began to look like a stagnant Amber lagoon. Loads of yeast in suspension. This one has a very bitter finish, and is not very sweet at all. Not what I was expecting.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draft. Deep amber/copper, slightly hazy with thin head and lace. Nose of caramel, citrusy/resiny hops, brown sugar and others. Huge caramel malt base with loads of resiny hops, the sweetness balances perfectly making this a damn drinkable brew. Will have to try again for I did not take notes.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Terrific ale! Lovely cloudy amber appearance with an average head. Well hopped with a nice bitter finish. Highly recommended!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy, clouded amber hue. Frothy beige head. Malty, floral nose. Sweet first, light-footed, acidic, caramel, finishes with a neatly hopped, herbal, neutral bitter. Very nice balance in another tremendous offering from Southern VT.
