Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 8/30/12
Aroma: The nose is fairly light, with notes of sweet malt, caramel, pine hop, and a little citrus
Appearance: It pours an orange color with a fizzy, quick dissipating off-white head and no lace
Flavor: The flavor has an average sweetness and a light-medium bitterness, with a slightly "off" finish
Palate: The body is fairly light, with a lively carbonation, decent drinkability, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression: This one is what it is, a fairly drinkable, unexciting attempt at an IPA. I felt like it was a small sliver above average, so I gave the overall a bump up to 13.

Pours clear copper with weak loose somewhat white head of foam. The aroma has some wheat notes and a sweet malt enhanced floral sensation. The taste is nice and wheat like and almost pulling up a bitter note but that’s filled in with sweetness that tastes a little like maple syrup. This has a nice balance where I get a touch of sweet fruity esters joining the other notes into the finish.

Pours deep gold into a tulip. Off-white head with medium retention recedes leaving scant spiders to skim surface. Ginger and sour caramel aromas. Thick with sweet caramel and toffee upfront turning to mild ginger in the medium length finish.

Deep clear rich brown coloured body with an earthy darkness, some ruby and indigo tints and a nice, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of pungent smoke, peat, alcohol, pit fruits, raisins, cheese and a bit more alcohol and peat. Medium-bodied; Assertive smokey and roasty flavours dominate with some smoked salmon flavours soon afterward and a bit of an earthy mushroom kick at the end. Aftertaste is potent and strong with the alcohol of course showing through with some alcohol, bourbon, rum, pit fruits and some lighter fruits noticeable as well. Overall, a very strong smoked beer and much less of a porter (it really isn’t one at all) - perhaps a bit too deep and dark for me unless I had something that really accompanied it. Still, not a bad beer and fairly well done, but not great by any means. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-April-2012 for US$5.55 sampled at home in Washington on 23-July-2012.

S - Caramel, ginger and vanilla. Floral as well
T - very light malts, sort of bland finish. Floral and honey
M - 20% carbonation light body, bland boring finish
O - It’s alright. not a bad price for a bomber.

22 oz. bottle from the brewery. Amber color in a weizen glass, low carbonation didn’t leave any head or lace. Nose is light maple. Flavor is wheat based, with a maple sugar finish. Body is fairly light. Not overly sweet. Short clean finish.

Gorgeous dark golden brown. Looks like watery maple syrup. Perfect clarity. Grade a maple appearance. Roasted wheat and maple sap. Smells wonderful. I've had this 4 times and this bottle being my last, it's starting to fall off. The maple flavor grows stronger an the wheat is more muted or subdued. Carbonation isn't as bright as desired. 80% carbonation. Light body. Bitter sweet finish.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, anise, licorice, coffee, nuts and a lot of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong anise flavour with a lot of roasted malt, coffee, nuts and a touch of soy sauce and permanent marker - no smoked notes at all, just a deep burn and strong licorice flavour. Aftertaste deep and strong with the roasted malt, burnt coffee beans (a la *$) alcohol and anise flavours dominating with a touch of decent camalised sugars on the back end. Overall, a strong and rather underwhelming beer, but it has a lot of flavour - just not great flavours, especially for this style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 27-November-2011 for US$7.95/6pack, sampled at home in Upstate New York on 25-May-2012.

On tap at Rock art 2 finger crystal clear head. SRM of 4. Light gold and orange appearance. Smell is great hop backbone. Citra and amarillo. Taste is gigantic. Lots of Hops. Dominating the glass entirely. Heavy body. No balance.
