Nov 1, 2007 on tap-pours a husky light tan head with lots of lacing and amber color. Aroma is mild citrus hops, medium malt. Taste is citrus hops-bitter/somewhat metallic, secondary medium malt, rye. Good carbonation.

Mar 4, 2008 Appearance: Hazy copper-colored body capped by a small white head.
Smell: Dry pale maltiness with a meager measure of spice-minded rye.
Taste: Pale malt taste that offers little sweetness, though a bit of caramel perks up if allowed to warm a bit. Touch of spicy rye throughout. Medium bitterness. Pretty much the same till the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I’m sorry, Natty G, but this is not your finest work.

Jul 24, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Pours copper gold with ivory head. The aroma is pine and grapefruit with a noticeable spicy rye character. The flavor is pine and grapefruit hops with a reasonable amount of bitterness. Rybe bread comes out in the finish, and hop bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. I enjoyed this one very much.

Oct 26, 2007 Pint @ brewpub. Ok aroma, Rye, peat, caramel. Tad hazed brownish orange color, good head that faded quickly, minor lacing. Bitter flavor, like aroma. Rye kicks up a notch, has a real bitter streak. a smoke quality. Little caramel. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Good though I don’t think I’d go back for another. The flavor just didn’t come together for me. A sweet smoke mix I wasn’t enjoying.
