On tap at MBGSF 2010. Pours a hazy amber. Light pine tree aroma. Flavor is a combination of spruce balanced with red fruit, earthiness, citrus. Nicely complex and well balanced.

On tap at the brewpub. Deep brown body, thin off-white head. Light nose with roasty malts and piny hops. Rich, chewy body, with creamy chocolate and chocolate-covered berries, caramel, and roasted malts cut by bitter, rindy, piny hops. Bitter finish. Surprisingly malt-driven, quite rich and very good.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear light straw body, thin ring of off-white carbonation. Light, adjuncty, sweet grain nose with light floral hops. Watery, cerealy, adjuncty body, grainy with light sweetness and nuttiness. There is a distinct somewhat offensive vegetal quality. Not good.

On tap at the brewpub. Translucent, deep red-brown body, thin off-white ring of carbonation. Toasty nose, tannic, leafy, and almost tea-like. Roasty body with brown sugar, burnt caramels, piny hops, and a bitter finish. OK.

Bottle. Pours and looks decent and has a nice grapefruit and grass aroma. Flavor is hoppy grapefruit and grass with a decent malt presence to balance things out. Fairly run of th mill, but good.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with visible carbonation with a small but thick white head that lasts. Aroma has strong malty profile with caramel, nuts and an awkward strong hay note. Flavor is very malty as well with the same awkward hay note as well as cereal and bread.
