Thick and creamy off-white head and a coppery orange body. Sweet, hoppy, and fruity aroma. Hoppy taste at the very front of the beer. It is bitter, but rather smooth for a double. Definitely fruity; citrusy I think. Kind of thick bodied. Really drinkable for the style. Not overkill on the hops.

Pour is a copper of course with a fluffy white head. Aroma is slight malts and a few hops. Flavor is much of the same. A light malt aspect with a little citrus hop. Very watery and light all around. This brewer either puts out a pretty decent beer or a bad one. This one is the later.

Pour is a bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is hard to detect with some caramel malt and nothing else. Flavor is sweet and a touch fruity with a really weird sour tartness after the swallow. This is boring and that is being kind. Nothing really going on here.

Sample at the Rock Bottom MSP location. This beer is a clear orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Patches of lacing. Aroma of light citrusy hops and sweet caramel malt. Light-bodied with a sweet caramel and malt character, and just a bit of hops flavor too. The finish is sweet and malty and the aftertaste does not linger long. No big faults, just a boring beer.

Pours a ruby brown with a beige head that leaves a thick lacing all about. Spicy caramel aroma. Taste is sweet with underlying fruitiness. A bunch of caramel in there, along with some spice to spice things up. Some hops in there as well.

Very grapefruity nose with a hint of wood and light caramel. Rich bitterness. Woody, grapefruity. Evenly balanced and very drinkable.

12oz bottle pours deep clear gold with a copper core and thin white head. The aroma is malty sweet and has pine hops edges and mild sweet citrus. I think this beer has some age on it but it tastes mighty good. It starts with a hint of sweet pine and sweet citrus hops while moving slowly toward mildly roasted malts and some bread as the finish approaches. The hops have really rolled over with age.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur orange et voilée. Nez de houblon floral et herbeux avec de faibles notes résineuses, de levures fruitées (abriocts sucrées, agrumes), malté de caramel sucré avec des notes de pain. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas ainsi qu’une texture plutôt crémeuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon floral, herbeux (herbes fraîches et herbes mouillées) et aux notes citriques (zest d’agrumes et traces de pamplemousse, une amertume présente toute la gorgée) avec un goût levures fruitées aux faibles notes sûres (agrumes, surtout orange et citron, léger d’abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de biscuits au miel et de pain (faibles notes terreuses), léger de céréales ainsi que des traces de caramel butterscotch rôti puis en finale l’on assiste à un léger regain d’amertume plus herbeuse, légèrement asséchante et aux petites notes résineuses. Post-goût moyen et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral, herbeux aux notes citriques et résineuses avec un goût de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, noyau d’abricots).
