Ancient backlog. They claimed this was on cask. It clearly came from a tap and was clearly force-carbonated. Aroma of mint, pine, eucalyptus, toffee. Flavor of bittering hops on caramel malt with some lemon seeds (what?). Herbal finish. It was aite, despite the odd cask situation.

Tap at the brewpub. The smell is fruits, citrus, hops, pine, and caramel. The look is golden to orange in color with a beige foamy head. The taste is decent in bitterness, fruits, citrus, hops, pine, and caramel.

(Draught) Pours a clear deep amber body with a tall dense cream head. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, and light pine. Flavor has a fairly complex hop profile (mango, pineapple, grapefruit, grass, herbal) combined with caramel malt for a dry, bitter finish.

Dark brown-orange, light beige head. Aroma is dull, biscuit, hops. Taste is caramel, herbal pine hops, nice bitter finish.

GABF Taster had to find a Arkansas rate somewhere. Pours out a cloudy copper topped with a sand head. Aroma of floral hops and rich malts. Taste more of the floral notes and sweet caramel malts.

GABF 2009, Copper colored pour, mild hop aroma & caramel malts, muted hoppiness & flavor which is sort of suprising considering how good the Rock Hopera was.

Draft at GABF! Nose of floral hops. Hazy copper with a small offwhite head. Flavor is bitter and a small amount of caramel.

Growler. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of earth, perfumy, spicy. Tastes of wildflowers, caramel and earthy with a sweet finish.
