12 oz bottle bought at Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. Bottled 4/10/13; about a month and a half old. Pours clear old gold with a medium off-white head with decent retention; leaves a little lace. Aroma is catty, grapefruit, a little earth. Taste is lightly bittersweet with lots of citrus notes, a tinge of metal, biscuity flavors. Lingering light bitter finish. Highly carbonated with a medium body. Good.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark golden-amber color with a medium sized foamy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet with light tropical fruits and bread dough. The flavor was sweet tropical fruits, pine, bread dough and pepper. Long sweet tropical fruits and bread finish. Medium body. Very pleasant.

Bottle. Pours dark orange with thin white head. Little lacing. Hoppy aroma, some evergreen and citrus notes. Hoppy flavour with a bit of caramel in the finish. Could use some tweaking but not bad
