750ml bottle pours a hazy, burnt amber with a lot of frothy beige head. Nose of malt, apple, cinnamon, spice, pear. Flavors of plum, cherry, pear, cinnamon, nutmeg, apples. Full, spritzy finish. Kind of weird.

Location: Draft at Texas Arizona, 3/8/13
Aroma: The nose is pine hops, some citrus, and some caramel malts as well
Appearance: This one pours an orange color with a nice, thick, white head atop it
Flavor: It is light-medium sweet and mid-plus bitter making for a hoppy beer with a little balance
Palate: The body is medium, it gets a bit sticky, but drinks pretty clean, with a lingering bitterness
Overall Impression: This is another very nice offering from Kane. Good stuff for sure. It has a good feel and a nice level of bitterness that make for an enjoyable example of the style.

Growler thanks to Dean! Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a strong hop presence with pine and resin as well as a touch of onion and just a bit of a sweet grain backbone. Flavor starts with sweet grains and pine but has growing notes of resin and a hint of onion.

Location: Bottle at Nerd Beer Epic Weekend, 1/26/13, Rating #2800 & Rating # 100 of January 2013! Happy Hundy Month to all! I would call that an achievement.
Aroma: The nose is pretty strong, roasted, dark fruit/fig, lots of booze/bourbon, vanilla, and wood
Appearance: A dark brown color with a huge froth of beige-brown head and medium-plus lace
Flavor: The flavor is fairly complex, there’s a lot of dark fruit, malty sweetness, plenty of booze
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it feels a little sticky, and has way too much carbonation
Overall Impression: I have enjoyed the couple of things I’ve tried from Kane, and I was super excited to grab a bottle of their 1st Anniversary beer. I’m strongly in favor of new NJ breweries opening of this quality, and I look forward to move of their beers showing up soon. Anyway, I liked this one, it has some flaws, particularly the carbonation, but ultimately it is quite enjoyable.
