Oct 14, 2008 Copper body with a nice frothy white head. The aroma is a caramel sweet, subdued floral hops, and a little sweet fruit. Flavor is kind of boring, but not bad. Again some caramel, a little fruitiness, and subdued floral notes. Just bleh, but not offensive.

Oct 14, 2008 Good looking copper pour with thin off-white head. Nice hop aroma, mostly floral and citrus backed up by some a solid malt sweetness and hint of spice, nutmeg maybe. Flavor is made up of slight tropical fruit, spice, sweet malt, with a floral/grassy hop finish. Tasty, but nothing really stands out about this beer. Full, resinous mouthfeel. Another solid Southern Tier brew.

Oct 13, 2008 22 ouncer from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark amber-copper-brownish body with a rich off-white head. Spicy, floral nose with a hardy malt spine. Crisp, refreshing and well balanced. Alcohol heat evident as beer warms up some. Very nice use of multiple Hallertau hops. Yummy!

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from lilbeerdoctor, thanks! I’m shocked to find this aroma very similar to the unearthly I recently had. I get a thick and resinous syrupy aroma of dried tropical fruit. Red in the center, moving to gold on the edges of the glass with a thick dense white head. I’m not sure what I think about this, nothing really sticks out or jumps to mind like nearly every other beer I’ve had, save for the earthy crunchy leafy hop character that remains on the back of the mouth so fiercly I feel I can chew it. There’s some caramel, I guess, but I find much of the flavor as ’good’ and ’tasty’ but still uninspiring and actually rhetorical.

Sep 28, 2008 Aromas of toasty caramel malts, bread, some chocolate, and earthy, spicy hops. Pours a copper tone with a thin lasting head and great sticky lacing. Funky floral bitterness up front, a touch of cat box funk too. Malty notes of caramel, toast, chocolate, and some sweetness. Some light funky bitterness lingers on the palate.
