Apr 10, 2009 huge sweet malty nose undermines the distinct hop base that shines through upon the first taste. once the bitterness recedes, the sticky grains return for a sweet finish. nearly cloudy darkened gold. palate is the real star here, bitterness and sweetness alternate at the speed of light followed by equally quick finish with just a touch of hops lingering afterwards. very well balanced brew that does more then pay the bills, this is a true classic of american craft brewing -- and for good reason.

Apr 10, 2009 Draft at Shannon Rose. Pours a amber body with an off white head. Nice pine and citrus notes with a big caramel malt backbone. Threw this pint down quickly.

Apr 9, 2009 Straight from the growler. Aroma of caramel malt and citrus. Sweet but not overly sweet.
Elwood (670), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Apr 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Smells of honey, spice, citrus, and some malt sweetness. Medium carbonation with a medium body. Nice honey, floral, and spice notes on the palate. Medium finish with some lingering spice and bitterness. An excellent balance of malt and hops. This is an great brew that is highly drinkable. A great beer to have on hand at all times.

Apr 6, 2009 Bitter. Caramel, nutty and bit roasted malt. Fruity and woody aroma with stronger alcohol taste. Dry bitter hop aftertaste. Amber color.

Apr 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice orangey amber slightly foggy colour with an off white head. Average lacing. Aroma of dark caramel malts. Great flavour on this one. Really nice caramel, butter, butterscotch, dark fruit malts balanced by some bitterness.. Medium body. The finish is balanced to a tee. What makes this beer stand out is the unique clean malts. Rogues staple. Extra points for the label. That pink to blue sky fade is super cool. Could be the best label on a beer that I’ve ever seen.
