Not to bad not to good. Has the staple sam Adams flavor with a slight spice character.

Had on-tap at Palmer Place in LaGrange
A: dark amber color with a slight filmy head on top, off white in color.
S: A little spicy with big rye and little malt. Seems dry from the smell.
T: Rye is pronounced as with the smell with some slight dry malt and a little back spice.
M: Crisp and light with little body. Doesn’t coat the palette and goes down smooth.
O: It’s alright. Seems like a decent fall beer, a little too dry for the Summer season
Serving type: on-tap

Pours a burnt orange with a nice thick two finger head.
Flavor is spicy with plenty of piney and grassy notes. A solid bitter bite to it complimented nicely by a long lasting spicy/rye finish.
Aroma matches nicely with the flavor, there is an obvious spicy note from the rye but a light but present hop profile can be picked out.
Mouthfeel leaves a nice dry spicy finish. A very enjoyable beer.

OK label, clear burnt orange beer with a fluffy head. Nice, malty/tangy aroma. Tangy, woody, moderately sweet, tannic bittering. Long rye-bitter aftertaste. Good mouthfeel. Part of a mixpack at the Friday meeting.

This beer was a let down. I expected so much more. I had such hop for this beer. It didn’t have to much flavor and was very light. It tasted like a light bad homebrew, that didnt have any flavor. It was a beer that I would never buy again.

The best thing that I can say about this beer, is that it’s new. Nice to find a sampler pack with a new beer. Far from Sam Adams greatest beer, but drinkable just the same. Appearance is beautiful with a stunning copper colored body, 2" light tan head with nice retention. Aroma is really, really light in nature. Some pine, light tobacco, touch of brewed tea. Flavor has some light tannic pucker power, tea, piney hop and a hint of bread. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied. Decenet beer from SA but nothing to rave about.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From notes: pours orangey-amber with an off-white head and lots of carbonation bubbles along the glass. Aroma was yeasty with a grassy bite to it. Slightly thick. Grassy, grainy taste with a mild pine note beneath. It gets a bit more of a bite from the rye as it warms, though I was looking for a bit more from the rye throughout.
