Golden, hazy. No head. A touch sweaty in the nose - go figure - with hints of banana, lots of yeast and a bit of wheat. Sweet, banana and vanilla. Nice marshmallow notes. A bit dull but drinkable.

Bright amber. Rotting fruit on the nose with some caramel. Light body. Light caramel taste, with some crackery notes. Tough to choke back a glass of this uninspired lameness, yo.

12 ounce bottle. Cannot recall from where, but it would be somewhere in Charlottesville or Richmond, VA. Pours a clear and dark ruby color with a tiny head and decent lacing. Nutty and hoppy aroma with some caramel notes. Very bitter taste with some odd but not off flavors going on. Caramel, grain and something that is almost like a savory green apple jolly rancher. Strong hop presence. Medium bodied. Interesting and quite nice.

On draught at Barley’s Smokehouse. This beer pours a mostly clear brownish-orange color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Malt and piney hops aroma. Medium body with flavors of dark malt, fruit and hops. Touches of pine in the flavor as well. The finish is malty with a mildly bitter hops aftertaste. Like many of Boulder’s beers, this is pretty straightforward.

12 oz bottle. Drank straight from the bottle, so I never got a good look at the beer. Probably looked good, but I’ll never know - at least until I crack into one and drink it from a bottle, but you know how that goes. Anyway, let me get back to the review. The flavor was relatively malty, with a crisp hop kick to it. Pretty decent beer - highly drinkable.

Trade with FlssmrBrewAlum, 12 oz bottle. Nice beery smell when I pop the cap, heavy on malts. Pours a somewhat amber and hazy pale ale color, very little head, but I did pour more slowly down the side than usual. A deep smell has suggestions of an antique pine drawer. Totally silly, but that’s what comes to mind. Taste is a little thick in texture, but not syrupy. One of the few "extreme" pale ales where the malt actually beats down any amped up hop load. Some nutty malt sweetness, a backing of orange, slight show of grass and vanilla. A fine beer overall.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of both fresh and over ripe fruits. The sweetness makes it a bit cloying. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
