OK, here goes: Evidently a rare beer or nobody wants to taste it. OH MY, you should see the things floating in there! From a bottle, lots of visuals in this otherwise pale lager lookin thing, that is except for the cloudy little balls in ther. Smell is sweet lager, something sweet on the nose fer sure. Taste is big strong as rude as IPA, no lie! Big plowing slam on my taste buds, its smell is unlike its taste, wew. Yes, a big penetrating nastyist steggem I can remember, what happened to the mild mannered brewery I knew in the past? I tell you, this site says 5% but it has got to be a 7%. I really think they got this batch mixed up with that expermental batch of IPA that steggie had hidden over in the corner. Man, those flakes just keep floating around in there, not sure if this is bad or what and if it is you can’t tell becasue of all the double hop bitterness. Does have a slight malt feel to it on the finish. Now I feel this weird citrus almost orange but more like a green bitter thing setting in. Kudos on the appearence! Since I’m an IPA hater, for the taste I was going to give this a 3, but now its growing into a 4.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with a small foamy off-white head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was caramel and faint floral and fruity hops. The flavor was bitter and dryish with hints of caramel, floral hops, fruity hops and pepper. Medium finish and body. Eh.

Floral nose, honeysuckle, lemongrass, tulip. Clear amber, medium head. Surprising weight for the style, medium body. A tad cloying, cane sugar and lemongrass. Sugary sweet finish. Neat idea, and the aroma was spot on. It just doesn’t taste as good. Dial back the adjuncts and this could be a very good beer.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a hazy copper color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of resin hops with nutty, toasted malts. The taste is bitter resin hops, some citrus and pale malts. Medium bodied. Decent.

Draft at Billy Jack’s Harrisonburg. Pours a clear golden color with a thin frothy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of honey and grainy malts. The taste is honey, bread, grain and a tart finish. Medium bodied with high carbonation.

Bottle. Sweet toffee malt and grass aroma. Dark amber color with small head. Sweet toffee malt and lightly bitter grassy hops flavor. Okay - a bit past its prime.

Deep amber with a white head. Aroma has light spices, toasted caramel malts, and a bit of sweet fruit. Medium smooth body. Flavor is similar. The dull spice layer kinda kills it though. Decent enough but not doing it for me.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a clear dark red color with a large frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted malts, nuts, caramel and a bit of a soapy note. The taste is bitter with notes of hops. burnt sugar, soy and spice. Medium bodied with assertive carbonation. A weird one for sure.
