Crisp amber coloured body with a perfect copper glow and a one centimetre tall off-white/tan head. Aroma of bright grapefruity and piney hops, some herbal and resin notes and a good dose of malt, all with a touch of candy sweetness in the nose. Medium-bodied; Assertive bitterness of resin and pine with a hint of toffee and caramel and a little sweetness, before the hop bitterness kicks in. Overall, a well-balanced and nice East Coast IPA with a more balanced flavour and some other nuances aside from the hops, this time being caramel, citrus and some floral aspects. Definitely nice to try and worth picking up if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Tampa, Florida on 03-January-2014 for US$2.29 sampled at home in Washington on 28-January-2014.

Nice deep brown coloured body with a thin, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, alcohol, raisins, plums, figs anda bunch of toffee - more sweetness than anything else. Rich Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty and toasty malt flavours with a big nut and earthy finish and a mild sweetness from toffee and caramelised sugars. Aftertaste shows some earthiness, a lot of walnut and pecans and a touch of coffee and bitterness at the end. Overall, a nice porter with some solid flavours and a nice profile that leans more earthy and deep than roasty and bitter. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Corner Store (Bait and Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida on 30-December-2013 for US$3.29 sampled in my hotel room here in Clearwater, Florida on 02-January-2013.

12 oz. bottle. Pours clear straw color, with a medium, white head and some thick lacing. The aroma is hay, apples, some light floral notes, and honey. Sweet and grainy, with a light hop bitterness that comes forward in the finish. Light to medium body, sticky, and grainy. Overall, this is a lightly hopped, fairly tasty beer. Not complex or unique, but well made and very sessionable (as well it should be, given the name).

Duft av malt, ellers lite lukt. Fin gyllen lys brun farge. Tynt dekkende skum. Liten svak smak av honning, ellers mer vassen smak.
