This pours slightly hazy rusty amber with an average sized off-white head. Aroma that combines citrus hops, pine resin and sweet malts. The flavor is dominated by a crisp hop bitterness that goes all the way to the finish. Good malt support that does not interfere with making this a tasty one.

12oz bottle pours a mostly transparent dark orange, near brown, with some lacing, white head. Nose has heavy pine, a little rosemary, some orange juice that settled on the counter, mild malt, a little cardboard. Flavor is the same, malty, piney, orange, a little caramel, a little root veg, some wet paper. Full finish. Not my thing.

Picked this one up in Virginia attending Matt’s wedding. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was malty and doughy with a hint of vanilla and cream. The flavor was malty cola, wood, a hint of vanilla and a bit of charcoal. Medium length cola and wood finish. Medium body. Meh.

Tap pours hazy amber, small off white head, great lacing. Aroma is pine, caramel, spruce. Flavor follows, medium sweet, light bitter, pretty basic. Medium plus body, creamy mouthfeel. Followed up in bottle on 3/27/14; Quite sprucy actually, with a bit of a pine-sol finish.

12oz bottle pours an inky black with some garnet edges and some thin, off white head. Nose has a lot of malt, a lot of licorice, some coffee, some cola, a little cherry. Flavor is bready, malty, heavy licorice, a little pencil lead. Full bodied finish. Decent enough.

Blonde golden coloured body with the slightest haze and a thin, one centimetre off-white head. Aroma of very light malt, some yeast and rice notes and a little floral hoppiness - not much though. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavour with some subdued sweetness, a hint of cardboard and staleness and a little hop touch at the end. Aftertaste shows some nice sweetness from honey and fruit and very little else aside from the malt. Overall, a decent light beer with an okay profile, but no real complexity and depth. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Arrowine in Arlington, Virginia after a hockey game on 13-November-2013 - Thanks Kev!
