12oz bottle pours a nice clear copper with weak off white to tan head. The aroma has some roasted malts, some earthiness, some spicy hops and some prune and fig like sweet esters. The taste bites a bit with spicy hops enhanced by lively carbonation and then settles into a bit of roasted malts, a bit of semi sweet crystal malts, some earthiness and just a smidge of cherry like sweet esters. Overall this may have sat a bit too long on the shelves and the enhanced carbonation kind of mucked things up.

Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is raisin malt and resin. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet raisin malt and nice finish. More of an amber than a pale ale. Decent.

Bottle from the Natomas BevMo. Pours tarnished brass with a creamy white head. Aroma is slightly bready with noticeable spicey/grassy hop. Ok. It’s grassy in a herby way. It’s a bit corny. Seems to have the right pieces, but at least one wrong piece. And I’m not really thinking I enjoy it. Tho thinking I should. Weird.

Cloudy dark amber color. Caramel aroma, some residual hop. The body is quite weak, especially evident in the end; there is some buttery caramel flavor, enough bitterness, but no quality. Too old.

Bottle thanks to daknole. Pours out a dark brown topped with a small tan head. Aroma was of light smoke maybe a little BBQ Pork along with some rich malts. Taste was more of the smoke along with some bitterness.
