Sample at GABF 09/26/2015, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Hazy brownish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial sheets of lacing. Aroma of herbal hops, wood and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, earthy malt, fruit and oak. The finish is malty up front with a mildly hoppy aftertaste. Above average overall.

On tap at Firestone Walker Taproom, Buellton. A lightly hazy dark golden to dark amber body and a small dense light beige head. The aroma is lightly oaked, with caramel and a faint roasted touch. Full body, soft carbonation. Caramel, some dried fruits and a little bitterness in the flavor. Long finish. Nice, but a tad regular. 130809

Sampled at Churchkey during CBC week. Pours a clear, dark orange with some cloudy white head. Nose is malt, cracker, honey, light lemon. Flavor is the same, malty, cracker, hay, biscuit, lemon. Dry finish. Decent, but I think I missed the boat.
