12oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was fluffy and white with good retention and lacing. Smelled of light sprucy hops with subdued caramel and cereal grains. Moderately carbonated and dry with mild hop bitterness of about 4 out of 10. There are fruit, vegetable, and light sprucy hop flavors up front. The hops continue into the finish and are accompanied by a hint of malty graham cracker. Nice.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich copper color with slight off white head. Smells hoppy and sweet. Tastes like bread grains, sweet malts, bittersweet hops, a little sugary. Very good.
