On tap at the High Desert Brewpub. Pours a light orange color with a nice off-white head and great lacing. The aroma is light pine and floral hops, pale malts and some bready yeast. The flavor is very well balanced malt sweetness and hop bitterness. The palate is medium to heavy, effervescent, and fizzy. Overall, this is a subdued and well made DIPA, with a good flavor and great mouthfeel.

On tap at the High Desert Brewpub. Pours dark amber with a thin head. The aroma is caramel malts, and floral and earthy hops. The flavor is sweet and fairly bitter. The palate is medium to heavy, flat and syrupy. Overall, this was a lackluster barleywine, but not bad.

[At GABF 2004] An unclear brown beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is sweet and primarily roasty, while the flavor is sweet with hints of nuts. More powerful than an English Brown Ale, but lacking something compared to its American cousins.
