Golden ale with a good off white head. Sweetish caramel, very diacetyl, a bit unpleasant. In mouth, sweet malt with smoked peat noted, whiskey like, and light restrained herbal hops. Not bad. Bottle at the CNY Brewfest 2006.

Dark reddish brown with a decent, but not long lasting head. Aromas of malt, molasses and caramel. Quite sweet with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Pleasant and unspectacular.

Bottle. Acidic aroma. Very dark brown colour. Stable rocky head. Flavour is hoppily fruity and malty with a hint of liquorice and coffee. Fruity stout? Sweet, salty aftertaste. Quite tasty for its ABV.

Sampled on draft at Piper’s Pub in Pittsburgh PA this beer poured an orange color with a small white head. The aroma is sweet grapefruity and flowery hops. The flavor is strong fruity hops with moderate floral hops following. The flavor is dryer than the aroma would suggest. There is a noticeable smoky character to the finish.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and slightly fruity, while the flavor is sweet with fruity esters.

Bright amber colour. Cranberry, peach fruitiness, light earthiness in the aroma. Fairly complex flavour with a cheesy, tobaccoey note, a random herbal quality and subdued fruitiness. Interesting premium bitter but ultimately like putting a great soundsystem in a Tercel. It has some pretty cool features, but the overall package really isn’t that enticing.

Bottled. Copper coloured, big creamy beige head, lacing. Fruity hoppy aroma. Fruitish hoppy flavour with also some roasted malts in it. Also a bit rubbery at one point. Long smoked aftertaste with hoppy hints too. Wellbalanced.
