Bottle: Pours a deep rusty color with a large beige head and nice lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, and little bits of spice. I liked the rich, malty body with hints of rye and caramel. Even a hint of breadiness. Light in the hop character, but still tasty. Thank you Goldtwins.

Amber color. Some nice hop aroma. Good malt taste, even if the body has a medium strength, with a lot of light caramel and good hops; and of course a strong bitterness. A good American interpretation.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of moejuck. Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh and fruity, somewhat citrusy aroma. Quite full-bodied with sweetish caramel and a very spicy edge. The finish is hoppy. 230407

Poured a transparent, fizzy looking copper with a clumpy white head. Smells of floral hops with a touch of clove. Taste is very nice and unique, malty, spicy, citrus, etc. Mouthfeel is not very heavy, which is nice, and hides the alcohol well. This a very unique beer, I love the style.

Thanks to jah noth for the bottle. Hazy orange body, thick puffy off-white head. Bready, caramely aroma with requisite citrusy, piney hops. Smells like a sugared grapefruit. The body is characterized by potent grapefruit rind, soapy and earthy hops, and pine, backed by sweet toasty malts. Bitter finish with a punch of alcohol, a bit too much for this beer. Creamy palate. This is OK, not one of my standout American strong ales.

Pour is a deep red with a smallish white head. Aroma is a bit off. Some hops show up with a wee bit of caramel malt. Flavor is much better. Strong earthy hops with a bit of yeast, barnyard and cherry wood. Alcohol is there but nothing to take away from the flavor. Quite good.
