Big thanks to BBB63 for bringing this tasty growler to Degarth’s Tampa tasting.
Pours dirty copper brown with tan head. The aroma is lively with medium roasted malts mixed with citrus, pine and pineapple hops and then some mild caramel candy. Smells great. The taste seems a bit thin to start. The flavor has initial bolts of crystal malts and pine hops. The pine hops grow in bitterness as the taste progresses along with some caramelized maltiness. The after taste leaves a sensation much like running your finger along the bottom of a nearly done sparging hop bag and then tasting it. Yum, I’ve done that a plenty.

22 oz hand bottle shared by tjthresh, courtesy of BBB63 - enjoyed at the csbosox tasting on 3/7/08. Pour is Ruby - caramel brown, no head really, what exists is just a few soapy bubbles around the edge. Aroma of grain, rye and some pine hoppiness. Floral notes, sweetness - really a great nose. Taste is big on the grainy rye, very bitter from middle to finish. The nose and taste both fade pretty fast, but this was a nice one. Huge thanks to both Mike and Tom!

2008 MBG Winter Beer Fest. I enjoyed the last couple of ounces from the mini-keg. This was a very leafy, herbal beer with toasty malts backing the heavy hops profile. Tannic . Much like fall leaves.
