Growler courtesy of maniac. Medium amber, clear, decent creamy head. Aroma was a load of pine. Flavor was pine with some faint biscuit malts. Not complex, but not bad either.

Clear amber body with a small creamy tan head. Sweet pine and citrus hop aroma with a caramel background. Sweet pine and citrus hops flavor with a mild caramel background and a floral flavor coming through in the ending. Medium-low carbonation with a fairly smooth bitter finish.

Draft at the Tap - 10% ABV - Dark copper, creamy light tan head (great lacing left behind). Hoppy aromatics lead with a huge pine and spruce blast. Warming brings out softer notes of white grapefruit zest that rides a sweet toffee and nutty earth backbone. Concentrated hop flavor is laced with fresh pine, spruce, and hints of citrus. Pulls out nice balance as the bitterness gains a light sweet caramel malt in the end. Full bodied, medium carbonation, warming, bittersweet finish. Loved this sippin brew...

Tap. P ours a golden orange with not much head. Nose is hoppy, but they are not free to roam. The flavor is a lovely balance of hops and malt with a viscous, sticky, sweetness. I thought that Leatherlips had more unruly hops than this twice the lips. This was delicious, sweet, fruity, and with a great hoppiness in the back.

[growler samples at the Steve Bernard farewell tour] Thick, dense hop aroma. Slightly earthy and sweet. Golden copper color. Caramel malt flavors, with a powerful hop foundation. Sweet floral citrus initially, then the hops turn more earthy, with a rather dry finish. An awesome brew, overall.
