22 oz bomber purchased at Zipps in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pour is mostly clear copper golden with a one inch white head that fell fairly quick. The aroma is a nice resin character, along with sweet maltiness. As the beer warmed, the aroma picked up a bit of earthy herbal, along with signs of alcohol. The taste starts with the malt sweetness, some herbal floral to the sweet, along with a touch of the resin bitterness of the nose. The earthiness of the aroma gives way to a bit of a pepper vegetal that didn’t really work too well with the malt sweetness. The palate is medium to light bodied, soft natural carbonation and a dry mostly clean finish. The 9% is pretty well disguised. Decent enough.

On tap at SPSBF. Pours a clear amber gold with an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains that combines with some pine and onion notes. Flavor again has pine and onion with a pretty strong sweet grain note.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of armin. Thanks! Reddish orange appearance with a small, cream head. Light fusel, orange citrusy, a bit toasty aroma. Somewhat bready, earthy, light citrusy, a little boozy flavor. Eh.

Pours a clear, copper-gold with smallish, quickly-dissipating head. Rather muted floral, hop aroma. Flavor is also a bit understated. There is the expected bitter hops and citrus combination, though not as intense as one might expect from a beer like this. It finishes quite cleanly--not bitter on the palate. It’s a promising start, but I wish they’d up the ante a bit and really go for the flavor...
