Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy dirty brown color ale with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of citrus and bitter hops are mix with a deep malt backbone – this is hoppier then I had expected. Taste is also a very good mix between some deeply caramelized malt with loads of citrus hops and a bitter finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Well balanced though still really flavourful.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours hazy dark reddish brown color with a very nice 2-3 finger dense khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a thick cap that lasts. Some nice soapy lacing on the glass. Aromas of big orange peel, grapefruit, pine, toasted biscuit, caramel, herbal, floral, and light molasses. Some pretty good aromas here, but they are huge on the orange peel. Taste of big grapefruit, orange peel, pine, molasses, caramel, toasted bread, floral, light chocolate, light nuttiness, and herbal spiciness. Good sized pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of orange peel, grapefruit, toasted biscuit, molasses, caramel, and pine on the finish for a while. Good malt balance with hoppy flavors and bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming well after the finish noticed. Overall this is a really nice and smooth hoppy brown ale. It has a really unique flavor profile unlike any other brown ale I have had in the past. Really enjoyable to sip on.

Pours deep mahogany into a Sam glass. Mocha micro head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing to coat surface. Sweet and sour chocolate and strawberry aromas. Soft and thick with sour pit fruit upfront turning to chocolate in the lasting pudding finish.

12 oz. bottle, pours a dark reddish brown with a medium off-white head. Noise is very hoppy, almost like a black IPA, full of citrusy hops, tropical fruits, toasted nuts and caramel malt. Flavour of harsh citrusy hops, mangos, peaches and pineapple, toasted malt and nuts, with a burnt, astringent finish. Solid.

12 oz bottle from Bottle Barn. Nose is pine, citrus, and a hint of slightly burnt brown sugar. Clear lighter reddish brown with a medium lightly lacing, light beige head. Flavor is bitter, with some lightly smoky caramel. Nicely hoopy bitter finish.

Bottle. Darkish brown with a lovely lasting cream head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, grapefruit, bread. Sweet with chocolate, oranges, nuts, caramel in a rather muddled combination; grapefruit and grassy bitterness struggle to emerge at the end. Alcohol is hidden. Sufficiently unfocused that it’s hard to tell what doesn’t fit. Well-named.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is IPA-ish in its hoppiness. Grapefruity hops come to the fore and the brown sugar is lurking around in there, too. Pours hazy brown with a medium beige lacy head with good retention. Taste starts out lightly sweet before turning bitter. Carbonation is medium-high and the body is medium to full. From reading the label, I’m guessing this was an attempt at creating a Pete’s Wicked Ale-type beer? If so, it tastes better than what I remember that beer to be like.

Orange peel and soil nose, not strong. Hazy rust brown, thick yellow head. Rusty and tinny flavor, earthy toward the end. Hints of orange peel here and there. Enjoyable.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-brown color with a large creamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was strong pine, grapefruit and resin without much of a malty presence at all. The flavor was pine, resin and grapefruit with undertones of caramel, honey, nut and chocolate. The finish was long pine, nut and chocolate. Medium body. Nice.
