Bottle. Sweet fruity rye bread aroma. Burnt orange with a moderate beige head, light open lacing. Rye, sweet caramel, fruit, and resinous piney hops, and booze flavor. Full sticky body, viscous mouth feel.

Bottle, 13C. Clear copper with an off-white. Aroma of toffee, peach, oranges, a little pepper. Syrupy mouthfeel with nicely judged carbonation - not so much to make it fizzy or astringent, but enough the lighten the mouthfeel a tad. Drinks its weight, but no overt alcohol. Not quite as sweet as suggested by the aroma. Toffee, peaches and a little of that rye tanginess I find hard to describe. Finishes with modest bitterness - or maybe it’s struggling against the sweetness. Not quite dry, chewy with some spices and toffee. Fine beer.

On tap at Hay merchant. Pours a clear amber with a medium frothy whote head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is floral hops and pine. Medium mouthfeel with a light bitter hop and caramel malt. Easy to drink hiding alcohol very well. A very impressive IIPA from HeBrew.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Hazy deep amber. Fruity malty aroma with a bit of hops and a bit of cardboard. Sweet malty flavor with a very bitter finish. Medium-bodied.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a cloudy nut brown / ruby with about a finger of off-white head. Aroma of caramel, grapefruit and other citrus with some dark fruits. Taste is medium bitter. Grapefruit, pine and caramel. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long bitter finish. Overall, I’m liking this beer. I wish I would have got more than just one.

After a pizza tour on way to cold of day stopped at Bling Tiger for a drink. This was on cask and poured murky orange brown. Tastes of caramel, grapefruit, grass, rye, and hops. Pretty flavorful.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy burnt orange with a medium dissipating beige head that collapses into a skiff of foam. Aroma is super malty and extremely perfumy. Taste is bittersweet, as described. Tastes like an aged barleywine, not my favorite thing at all. Carbonation is average and the body is full. It’s obvious this is quality, unfortunately it’s just not my style--at all.
