Picked up this semi-local bottle in town, and poured into a tulip glass. Came out a cloudy orange-amber color with a small, off-white, bubbly head, mostly around the rim of the glass. Aroma was a good mix of caramel malt and fruits with some citrus hops, and maybe a touch of floral and piney hops too. The taste was very sweet with a fainter sour finish. The texture was smooth and very full and wet, with only small carbonation. Overall a pretty good ale that fit its intended style well.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 ChillCoat (1030) - Concord, California, USA - MAR 11, 2007
Bottle from drewbeerme. Murky copper color with a big, ivory head. Sweet malt aroma dominated by bananas. Clean and sweet. Bananas and fruits- I’ll give it melons but the cloves aren’t coming across for me. Slightly hot but just right to the line without going over it. Sweet finish with alcohol. I’d be proud to brew a Triple this good.

bottle from trade with drewbeerme. Thanks Andrew! hazy orange with a small, well carbonated white head. Nose and flavors are sweet and spicy. Some melon, grapefruit, oak, pepper, corn flakes (and syrup), alcohol, and yeast. NIce, but missing a little bit at the end. Balance just seems a little off. Still. a nice american adaptation.
