Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. This beer is a clear orange color with a compact off-white head that burns away slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is moderately bitter with hops backed up by caramel and earthy malt. Medium-bodied with a hoppy character. Notes of caramel and malt along with a bit of citrus too. The finish is hoppy and lingering. Decent all around.

Bottle purchased at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville, VA for $1.80. Copper, bubbly, and an inch of white head. Citrus and pine hoppy aroma, with a teeny bit of malts in the nose. Very hoppy, with a grassy finish. Tasty!

Bottle. Pours clear bronze with small, thick, persistent head. Lacing is good. Aroma of pine and citrus. Good hop taste without coming on too strong. Damn, did the brewery itself really open just two days ago? The wine coming out of Nelson County, Virginia is outstanding. Good to see that beer promises to be just as good.8/4/7/4/15
Rerate 9/6/08. This is their wet-hopped version of the beer. The brewery says there was no recipe change outside the wet-hopping, so, no new beer entry. Draft at the brewery. Hazy brownish red color with a one finger head. Aroma is malt-forward with big resin hop notes. Very bitter taste (the beer menu says 60 IBUs still, but I don’t believe them) with resinous hop notes, pine, citrus, other fruit notes and toffee. Spicy mouthfeel and medium to full body. 7/4/8/4/15
