From a fresh bottle bought direct from the brewery. Nice and strong but bitter. Though beer is supposed to be bitter. Reminds me a lot the hopheads of Victory. However this doesn’t have an unpleasant finish. Very drinkable and I’d say good for any occasion.

Aug 4, 2008 12oz bottle. Thick amber-brown color. Very thick bodied, with a strong, pungent amber malt taste. Delicately hopped, allowing the malt to take center stage. The sourness in the beer is very enjoyable and complex. Good example of a malty American Amber Ale.

Aug 1, 2008 12 oz bottle from local Farm Fresh. Slight carmelized malt nose with a touch of earthy grassy hops and some fruity sourness. Mostly clear deep amber brown with a moderate rocky tan head. Grain with light carmelized malts and grassy hops dominate flavor. There is some other stuff going on that is a touch sour, fruity, cardboardy, and soapy. Body is light with high carbonation. Finish is dry with a lingering grassy bitter astringency.
