Sampled on tap at the brewpub. This is a really hard beer to rate because they intentionally change the recipe every time. I actually like that concept though. This version was 7% abv and poured a hazy, orange with a whispy white head. Aroma is hoppy, grapefruit, pine, leoms, with a touch of grain. Flavor was mostly hops, more lemons, pine and grapefruit with also some crisp malts, crackers too. Bitter finish. Sessionable.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit, pine, and a nice resiny flavor. Good bitterness. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and pine resin lingers.

Overall Impression: I haven't made a trip to Franklin's in years, and I'm only about 20 minutes away, but back in the '04-'05 range I tried a few different batches of this beer, and it usually ranged in the mid-3s, so I'll give it the generic 3.5 for arguments sake...

Courtesy of hopscotch. Pours clear copper with frothy tan head and mild lacing. The mild aroma is malty with roasted malts, sweet caramelized malts and some faint pine hops. The taste starts with a medium level of pine hop bitterness and a dose of earthiness. The caramelized and roasted malts hit midway as the pine hop bitterness builds. It gets thin for a moment as the finish approaches. Some malty roastiness lingers into the after taste.

An unclear amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops and oranges, and the flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of hops and grapefruit (Cascade?). Nice flavor - it was listed at 8% ABV at my visit, which I didn’t notice in it - but then again - it might not be right.

Sampled at RFD during RBSG 2006. Pours hazy gold with a thin head. Some malt with some hops but nothing distinctive in the aroma. The flavor follows the aroma with a dry aspect like a barleywine. Not sure what this is trying to do. Old Ale, Strong Ale? Barleywine?
