Growler shared by beastiefan2k. Crystal clear, deep brown/orange coloured brew with a nice sticky tan head. Very hoppy aroma with lots of bright resinous pine, a touch of orange/grapefruit citrus. Good sweet biscuity malt flavour, lots of pine and a soft piny spiciness. Nice crisp rye character in the back. Classical Sixpoint and I quite like it.

Growler supplied by the trivia master beastiefan2k. Poured a hazy red-copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma was hoppy with nice citrus and pine. Good backing of caramel malt. Light sweetness and mild alcohol round it out. Side note after an hour or so I revisited the growler and the beer smelled like a big of hop cones. Fresh and forward, very nice. The flavor was also hop forward with citrus over pine. The finish was all pine and a mild long bitterness. Dry finish and a medium body. Nice beer. Extra point for the increase in the hop aroma.

I love the way Bierkraft counter pressure fills their growlers. This stuff almost explodes and pours with a giant tan head. The aroma is rich, sweet grains. Taste seems like it has Belgian yeast with a nice, dry finish.

EBF 08. Pours a slighlty hazy deep copper with a thin diminishing head. Aroma is herbal and moderatly hopped with some grassy, herbal and some tea-like hops and a wierd woodiness to it. Floral and herbla flavor - more tea, and a nutty toffeee malt sweetness and a wierd lightly astringetn and tannin finish. Very soft mouthfeel, no booze and very light for a suggested 8%? Damn this is pretty weak.

Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing the growler (and leaving the leftovers at our place, which I am currently consuming) - hazy red-brown beer, with a small ring of lace - strong piny hop aroma, with an undercurrent of brown sugar and nutmeg - a nice balance of strong dry hop flavor, and sweet caramel malt flavor - some light fruity character brings with it a slight tartness - some subtle spicy character - just slightly different for a sixpoint beer, but not by much - tasty, though.
