Crisp, very slightly hazy light amber and copper coloured body with a very thick, four centimetre tall off-white head that leaves a pretty ugly, soapy lace on the sides. Aroma of alcohol, caramelised sugars, toffee, english hops, cardboard, biscuits and a bit scotch or bourbon. Medium-bodied; Biting earthy malts to speak of up front with a strong english hop flavour, some subdued treacle and raisins alongside, but all with a deep biscuity and yeastie flavour. throughout. Aftertaste shows some of the sweetness, a lot of the earthiness and even more of the english notes, from the toffee to the malt choices and especially with the hop flavours. Overall, a decent beer with some good profiles, but no real complexity, nor the aggressive flavours that I care for too much. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$8,90 sampled at home in Washington after the Blizzard of 2016 to be one with the whole of the East Coast which was hit by the storm here with ~2 feet of snow and on the Jersey Coast with a lot of flooding, sampled here at home on 24-January-2016.

750ml bottle pours a deep orange with some creamy, white head. Nose has pine, BIG pine, honey, turbinado sugar, herbal, soapy. Big and soapy, kind of like an old school DIPA. Flavor has malt, lots of honey, biscuit, soap, orange peel, pine. Full bodied, piney finish.

Aroma: It has a light malty aroma, some herbal notes, a bit of spice, and some caramel
Appearance: Pours a murky orangish color with a with a sheety off-white head and coating lace
Flavor: The taste is along the same lines, lightly sweet, with a herbal/spice finish

Overall Impression: Decent overall. It is a little on the lighter side from a nose/taste perspective. Pretty drinkable. Not a standout, but a solid beer.

Draft at Max’s. Hazy amber color, off white head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of fresh herbs. Taste is hop forward with spice and herbs, light rye crackers. Decent.

The piney aroma is pleasant, but unfortunately might be the standout feature of this beer. Dull orange, thin to the point of watery. The flavor is more balanced once you allow the beer to warm enough for the caramel malt notes to emerge. Finish is long and bitter. Something to have with a pizza perhaps, but nothing very special.

750 ml bottle. Hazy amber orange color. Big rocky beige head. Pleasant toasted malt nose is balanced by fresh pine hops. Bitter spicy hops upfront, with subtle notes of molasses and cinnamon on the back of the tongue. Smooth, yet complex with more hoppy bitterness than residual maltiness. The molasses imparts a unique character and body that makes this a tasty and drinkable ale.
