Nov 10, 2007 Cask. We were at Dek’s American, which had a pin sitting on the bar, and we were drawing healthy pints for the crowd. This amber-gold ale really had an interesting taste that I felt was a vast improvement over the regular tap version. Bearing the marks of a Sixpoint ale with the floral hops in the aroma, there was a slight cream taste matched by the twang of the rye malt. It was easy to drink if one already knew to expect something different than what memory served about rye ales.

May 16, 2005 Cask @ Brazen Head. One of the better beers at Brazen Head that night. This poured gold with a nice sized head. Nice citrus, floral hoppy nose. Taste is nicely balanced. Somehow I taste a little salt.

Oct 11, 2005 Malty, hoppy aroma - very nice. Cloudy brown with a big tan head. medium-heavy hopping, edgy acidity but it goes down smoothly. Finishes a little boozywith a hefty hop aftertaste. Almost salty sometimes. This went really well with the Liberty Heights tap house calzone. Good craftbrew.

Aug 29, 2005 Very hoppy, very sweet ale with a fairly high alcohol content. Mellow aftertaste and very delicious.

May 30, 2006 Updated: Oct 31, 2006Cask at dba. Brown-orange beer with very low carbonation. Aroma of zesty and spicy golding/fuggles over a sweet caramelly and earthy malt backbone. A bit of molasses and burnt sugar as well. Flavour is nice, earthy hops over a fairly complex malt bill. Toast, caramel, along with some woody hop resin, spice and possibly some grapefruit. Sort of a strange hop profile. The aroma is fairly classic, but the flavour is a bit of a UK/US hybrid.
