Lightly hazy gold beer, massive pale cream colour head. Airy palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, a little lactose like sweetness. Whispers of citrus and candy fruits. A suggestion of brett, well buried. Fluffy semi dry finish. Off centre.

Bottle from Favourite Beer, Cheltenham. Day 10 in my Advent Calendar. Hazy golden colour with a big foamy white head. Aroma citrus fruity. Taste long bitter. Lively body.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast and chocolate. Medium mouth, light roast, smoke, dark chocolate, bitter finish, very good.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark red close to brown / slightly black on the inside. There was a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell a roasty grainy sort of thing going on with some grassy hoppiness along with a light milk chocolate.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. I would say it came across fairly grassy as it ran over my tongue.
Overall, this was a decent Porter, its nothing special.

Sahweet, I just found the notes on this. Haha, here goes.
I had three of these beers acquired from my brother in law who lives in IL.
All three were poured into pint glasses.
The appearance was a nice looking red/copper color with a fairly decent half fingered white foamy head that ends up dieing within less than a minute. The lacing actually left a little bit to be desired.
The smell made up for the lack of lacing as there was a super nice involvement of pine to citrus to earthy bittered hops. Whoah, damn, boy did this smell nice, holy moley. The sweet malts do end up coming in just a tad as it warms.
The taste was fairly sweet through a combination of the malts and hops.
On the palate, this one sat at/about a light to medium with a fairly decent sessionable aspect to it. The carbonation tried to portray a certain harshness, but seemed actually sitting right on queue.
Overall, worthy AIPA of having again with its respected food. Though, it almost seems the palate aspect of it probably could’ve showed a tad more harshness to me.

Bottle offered @ gmellison. Got this bad boy in a trade. Thanks Adam. A bit hazy golden orange appearance with a white head. Orange juice / tang, citrusy aroma. Slightly acidic. Flavor is full of orange juice with some herbal notes. A bit bready. Quick aftertaste. Pretty drinkable.
