Feb 12, 2009 Thanks to my boss for bringing this to me from Pa. Very nice looking pour from a 12 oz. bottle. Rich amber with a creamy tan head. Slow to diminish with nice lacing. Nice balance of sweet malt with a bitter hop finish. Will ask for more.

Feb 10, 2009 Another good, well-balanced beer from my hometown boys in the HBG. Amber color, off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt and floral hops. Flavor is caramel malts and fresh-tasting east coast hops, not quite as hoppy as an IPA but more than a typical amber ale. Medium palate and carbonation. Good stuff.

Feb 7, 2009 Thanks Brigadier. Pours a clear, nearly red amber with a finger of beige head, which dissipates to a ring and some lace. Aroma is citric hops and sweet malts. The flavor begins much the same, oranges, brown sugar, and then becomes incredibly bready. This is as close as you get to fresh baked bread in a glass. The aroma elements emerge again for a very floral finish. Only minor off element that the grain is a bit too husky for my taste. Medium bodied, lightly prickly on the palate.

Jan 30, 2009 Updated: Feb 12, 2009Pours amber/copper into a shaker. Off-white head pancakes and recedes in larger surface bubbles. Sweet citrus and resin aromas. Crisp and well balanced with caramel upfront and a lasting dry grapefruit and resin finish.

Jan 25, 2009 (11/10/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia (thanks David T). Clear deep reddish amber color with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of piney hops, resin and caramelly malt. Sweet caramelly malt at first with some toasted notes and then a bitter finish with hops and pine needles. Medium-bodied. Pretty tasty.

Jan 24, 2009 12 oz bottle. Poured a nice golden amber, with no haze. An offwhite creamy head that lasted a fair while with good cling. Aroma is mostly citrusy hops. Flavor is a pretty balanced palate, a bit of malty up front with a nice hop kick, maybe some sweeter notes in the aftertaste. The hops are a little bitter but smooth out after a little while.
