Can. Amber color. Hazy. Citrus, tropical fruit and caramel in the aroma and flavor. Melon, mango. Malty sweetish. Hint of licorice. Nice Refreshing ale.
This is all flavors and none overpowering the other. Hop, sweet, malt, sticky. Pretty damn great.

American strong ale or winter beer? Probably more the strong ale although the label suggests more of a winter. It's very good whatever although the extreme bitterness does get a little bit in the way in the Finish.

1,500th rating! Pours a nice copper from a can, fair amount of lacing. Big spicy hop flavor was rather surprising until I read the description of the amount of hops in there. Nice citrus notes over a fair malt backbone, not too sweet, prefer it to a lot of IIPAs. Good beer.

Quite hoppy, could easily pass as an ipa, no winter spice to it or anything. Decent beer, well made.Hopworks portland ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap @ Henrik. Looks warm and nice this. A cloudy deep peach orange, almost a little copper colored one this with a medium sized fading and islandy lacing off-white head. Like the sweet malty caramelly and almost barley wine strong nose. Red berries, concentrated and sticky. Quite pleasant. It tastes pretty good also this. More punch than the abv would suggest. Almost like a blend between a DIPA and a strong amber. It has a nice oily texture in the mouth and it's about average on the carbonation. Well hopped for sure, but it's lost more on the toffee caramelly sticky side. Grassy, some bitter marmalade and traces of red apples. Lots of flavor, really warming and quite good. 17.02.2017

Can at boothill. Orange golden pour. Aroma of bitter pine, caramel and malt. Fresh bitter flavor of pine, of grassy citrus, caramel and a nice spicey malty backbone. Like it.

Bottle: Poured a dark amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy and resinous hops notes is very enticing. Taste is a complex mix of citrusy and resinous hops notes with some light sweetness from the malt base. Very limited amount of bitterness with good floral notes. Body is fuller then average with good carbonation. Very nice mix between a solid malt backbone and some fresh hops notes.

Deep orange with a tall head. Powerful citrus and mild pine hop notes along with strengthening caramel malts. Finish is lightly sweet with plenty of bitterness. Medium bodied. A real nice winter sipper.
