Draft at the brewpub. The chalk board said 4.5% ABV. Poured a clear dark brown-orange color. Amber, really. The head was thick, fluffy, and off white with good retention and lacing. The arom was of citrus, caramel, and vanilla. Medium bodied with hefty hop bitterness of about 7-8 out of 10. I tasted toasted bread, dark toffee, citrus fruit, and pine resin. Delicious.

This seems a little different than earlier entries (7th Anniversary). On tap @ Piece. Pours a brown/dark red with an off white head. Nice aroma of citrus, caramel, and some grapefruit. Good flavor, with some very nice lingering bitterness. This beer packed some serious flavor for a beer that was only 4.5%. Very enjoyable, wish it was on the rotation more.

I really liked this, and it was easy drinking enough that I expect alot of non beer fans to as well. It is darker than I would have guessed, and very caramely for a pale ale. All works though, very easy to chill out with.

On tap @ the Brew pub: Pours a dark brown with an off white head. Aroma, citrus, caramel, light fruits, some grapefruit. Flavor, pine citrus, caramel, some brown sugar in the background as well. Good brew.

This was the sixth anniversary version, 2007. Very nice beer, but I think it is more of an American Strong Ale, as it had a nice chewy consistency and a fair amount of alcohol. Loads of hops and character. Very nice.
