A creamy, pale oat ale hopped with a huge charge of Equinox and Simcoe hops for a piney, eucalyptusy, cedary, sprucey, foresty blast. First brewed in 1995... brewed today in a time of change.

(Bottle) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricot marmalade, mandarin, passion-fruit, honey, pine needles and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of mandarin peel, apricot marmalade, passion-fruit, pine needles, honey, caramel, pink grapefruit and a generous piney, citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quiet sweet. Fresh, tasty and well made. Very nice.

Looks like IPA, from a bomber. Smell is mild pine. Big rocky head. First taste impressions is over the top pale ale that borders on IPA territory. Many IPA are not this strong in hoppyness. Yes, big blasting IPA hops. Typical laggy, in yer face ale. What’s new pussycat? Rude mah fah. Does not hide alky well. Not impressed. Sorry I bought a bomber for $4. But I wanted the tick, so there, you have it.

Great one! A very balanced, oaty, slightly-boozy-tastin' ale with a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks beerandbeyond. Golden. Aroma of stale hops, malt, marmalade. Sweet flavor with malt, honey, stale hops, marmalade. Medium-bodied. Too old.

Aroma is resin hops malt with green and a little citrus. Flavor is somewhat like nose with interesting interplay between bitter and sweet as they go back and forth for being dominant and carbonation to mix it up further. Great body. Very nice beer.

Sampled on draft at Johnny’s Wife’s Place in Jeannette this beer poured a copper color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tart and tangy with fruity and piney hops. The flavor was sweet and sugary with fruity and piney hops, tropical fruit and a yeasty undertone. Long sweet fruity hop finish. Moderately full bodied. Excellent
