This beer pours a hazy orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and grainy malt. Medium-bodied with a moderately bitter hops character that has citrus and pine notes. Some bready malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with a citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught at the NYS Wine and Culinary Center. Grainy, malty nose. Grassy noble hops. Gold with a nice head. Crisp, crackery pilsner malt flavor with a pepper bitter finish and, unfortunately, more than a touch of DMS. Seems like they need to work this out.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy orange-tan head that left decent lacing. The aroma was nutty caramel, light tangy fruits, bubblegum, raisin and cherry. The flavor was malty and sweet with notes of nut, molasses, band-aid, floral hops and a light medicinal presence. The finish was long, medicinal, herbal and floral. Medium body. Eh.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with an enormous foamy brown head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, malted milk and cocoa. The flavor was bitter, dryish and roasty with notes of nut, cocoa, coffee and malted milk. The finish was long, dry and roasty with lingering coffee and malted milk. Medium body. Too dry for my liking but decent anyway.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright apricot color with a large sudsy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was bread, honey and candied golden fruits. The flavor was sweet bread, honey, pineapple and peach. The beer turned a bit dry on the long finish. Medium body but overcarbonated. Solid.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy caramel color with a medium sized foamy orange-beige head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was faintly sour and hoppy with a odd herbal and off rancid vegetable element. The flavor was bitter, fruity and piney with a tangy vegetal presence that detracted. Long finish and medium body. Eh.

Bottle. Pour is an oddly hazy dark gold with a decent white foamy head. Aromas are heavy with silo dust and sweetness. Flavor is pretty miserable. Lots of honey buns, grain dust and meh.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a thin head and aromas of pine and citrus. Flavor is a really nice mix of caramel and a sharp blast of hops. Very nice after a long day of fishing.
