Backlog February 2009. Amber body under a fading, small beige head. Aroma of malt and chocolate. Taste is mild and quite light with malt, chocolate and some coffee. Medium to light bodied with short aftertaste. A rather light version of a porter this.

Bottle at home just random grocery grab. Pale yellow pour. Nose is yeasty and straw. Tastes of straw, bready, paper, dry hops, maybe lemon zest. Watery. Slightly odd aftertaste.

Bottle: Hazy, amber-orange with a tall, slightly off-white head. Orange/grapefruit-peel scent. Light caramel malt, orange-peel taste.....kind of a bready bitterness to it. Not bad, but just average....not a lot of excitement.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours very murky dark reddish brown color with a huge 2-3 finger fluffy tan head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Good soapy lacing on the glass, with a ton of streaming carbonation. This foamed up instantly on the pour, so its probably infected. Aromas of caramel, molasses, roasted malt, raisin, chocolate, prune, toast, toffee, apple skin, grass, and herbal spiciness. Some pretty unpleasant aromas as expected after that foamy pour. Taste of milk chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, toast, apple, biscuit, toffee, and herbal spiciness. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, toffee, toast, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a bit. Unlike the aromas, the flavors are actually quite robust with good balance; no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is ok. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a solid porter, even for being infected. Some solid flavors that are fairly robust; very smooth to drink. I had no problem finishing it at all.

12oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a lightly cloudy dark orange with a quarter-finger of white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and resin. Taste is light bitter. Mostly sour citrus with some caramel malt and earthy resin. Light bodied with a thin yet slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, pretty good, it may have renewed my faith in "organic" beers. I would gladly drink this again.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a small frothy white head. The aroma is fruity pebbles cereal. Thin mouthfeel with a fruity hop and clean finish. Easy to drink a very good IPA from Butte Creek
