On tap at Papago. Pours a deep amber-orange color with a big creamy tan head that sticks around throughout. Lots of aromas happening. Roasty caramel malt, pine hops, grapefruit, and earth. Flavor is mostly the sweet caramel pitted against the pine hops. Ends up being a huge flavorful beer, that manages to stay pretty well balanced and drinkable. Feels thick and full on the palate, with a lingering grapefruit peel finish. Im gonna have to say fantastic!

Aren’t you glad this isn’t a seasonal anymore? I am. Poured into a pint glass from a can and already you get a nice smell of hops, dry hopped for sure. Beautiful amber color. Nice hop flavor but not over the top. Light malt and a nice long dry finish. This is the best tasting canned beer i’ve ever had!!

Poured from a 12-oz can an orange color with a fluffy head. Has a sweet candy smell. A nice smooth taste, which really hides the alcohol. A sticky hop flavor of pine and grapefruit. Some nice malt balanced out the hops for a very drinkable beer.

A great beer. Another balanced, strong, hoppy, malty and complex beer. So much going on: Caramel, big hops, breadiness and a sticky palate. Not that clean, but that’s not always what you want. A great winter warmer to enjoy with a light cigar next to the fireplace with a big leatherbound book (with the aroma of rich mahogany in the background, of course).

Poured deep amber, with a decent off white head. Aroma was malty with lots of piney hops. Flavor is rich maltiness, sweet caramel, hoppy bitterness. Thick mouthfeel

Hazy copper amber with a rich tannish head. Looks good. Hoppy, floral, pine and citrus aroma. Smells good. Balanced malt and hops, chocolate and caramel as well. Nice finish and palate, this is a fine beer.

Really hazy, deep rusty orange color with thick tan head and lacing. Rustic, rusty, earthy hopped nose. Smells thick. Soft but enthusiastic carbonation. Sweet entry, passing through layers of caremelized fruits before rounding out to a crisp hop finish. Bready without being burnt. Chewy but very nice.

Red-amber with a bubbly, off-white/beige head. Odd nose of sugary malt, caramel, pine, and dank wood. Flavor is similar with lots of hop bite, caramel, piney citrus. Good beer.
