Location: Draft at Grand Cru in Rhinebeck - 10/1/11
Aroma: This one has a big nose with pumpkin and lots of spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc...)
Appearance: This brew pours into the glass a dark orange with a decent sized beige head
Flavor: Tastes right on with the nose, lots of spice flavors mostly, finishes with a touch of earthy hop
Palate: It is medium bodied, it has a quite fizzy feel, and it drys out a bit as the finish tingles on the tongue
Overall Impression: This one had a big spice/pumpkin flavor and nose, which I quite enjoyed. The plus carbonation was really the only "downfall" I had with this one, and it isn't really that big a detraction. I thought this was an enjoyable beer, and a very nice example of style, but I tend to be a big fan of this style in general.

Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10
Overall Impression: My second Fire Island beer of the brewfest (I also had a Red Wagon IPA, but I had rated that one prior to the event). Anyway, there isn't much to say about this one, other then it is a very OK beer.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours copper. Off-white head. Aroma seems diacetyl. Flavor is bitter with roast malt. Seems a bit buttery. Interferes with hop id. Maybe floral/citrus? Even so it’s quite drinkable.

Copper in color with a thin head. Malty aroma that’s sweet and not too hoppy. Not much flavor but very malty with some hops lurking in its depths. Drinkable but probably won’t order again.

Scored this 12oz bottle as an extra in a trade with Brooha. Thanks BJ! Pours a transparent, copper amber with a thin, creamy, lacing white head. Aroma is malty, crackers, biscuit, some oranges, light citrus, light caramel, a little bread. Flavor is a good mix of sweet and bitter, caramel, cookie dough, oranges, lemons, biscuit, apples. Finish is crisp, medium carbonation.
