Pretty light hop aroma. Mostly sweet cracker on the aroma. Nice clear amber with an off-white head that is fleeting but remains on the collar. Very malt forward with slight hop bittering at the end. Malt is melted caramel. Slight floral hop flavor.

Bottle @ home. Fuck, didn’t realize that I grabbed a glutten-free piece of shit. Oh well. Clear, dark burnt orange appearance with a big bubbly, tan head. Pretty grapefruit and piney hoppy forward with some light woody notes in the nose. Grainy wood, a bit charred, grapefruity, piney hoppy flavor. Maybe the most hop forward, glutten-free beer I’ve had and actually pretty good.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper with a light beige head. Aroma seems lightly floral with a touch of citrus. Getting something that’s more hint of cola than malt. About medium body. Flavor is nicely hoppy. Finishes pretty dry and nicely bitter. As in most gluten frees there is something missing that’s needed to carry the hop. That said, this may be the best American gluten free I’ve ever had. It doesn’t stand near Greens Endeavor. The problem with gluten free is that light flavor won’t cut it. Wonder how a gluten free IS would turn out? EDIT: Guess it does stand near Endeavor. Gave them the same ratings. Still think the more flavor the better tasting the gluten free.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma of bread and mild hop. Smells like a premium lager. Med body. Flavor is more soda pop than beer. There’s not enough hop to make up for the lack of barley.

Bottle. Dark orange with thin white head. Faint citrus (naartjie) aroma. A little caramel, a little hop in the light body. Long finish, end of tongue, hop.

Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow pour. White head, moderate lacing. Aroma is sweat. Flavour isn’t bad. Its somewhat grassy and malty, with a nice hop edge. It’s the aroma that drags this down
