Dark brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head and a bit of brown tints. Aroma of fresh hops with nice floral and earthy scents with a good roasted malt nose. Medium-bodied; Assertive hops up front with a slight pine and pineapple flavour all covered up by a good and nutty roasted malt flavour. Aftertaste shows a lot of bitterness both from the roasted malt and from the hops - a very nice blend and a good balance. Overall, a nice beer with a good balance and showing some pleasant hops with a good bite from the earthy malt. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Bottle Stop Liquor in Valdez, Alaska a few minutes ago on 24-May-2013 for US$2.95 sampled here in my hotel room in Valdez, Alaska on 24-May-2013.

Drought. Slightly hazy golden-orange color, small foamy off-white head, strong apricot aroma, slightly sweet apricot flavored beer with low carbonation, abrupt finish. Interesting creation,

Pours dark brown, ruby...with a very tall, light brown head. Aroma is pine, citrus,....hint of eucalyptus. Flavour is grapefruit peel and light coffee. Roasty and citric. Very nice.

Pour is a dark brown with a huge tan head. Aroma is a decent mix of hops and roasted malt. Flavor is much the same a nice hoppy backbone with a decent helping of roast malt. A nice roast is left on the tounge after the swallow. This was quite decent from a brewer that makes so-so stuff.
