22oz bomber. Clear copper color with tan head. There is a light aroma with pine hops and malts. Flavor has a mix of sweetness and bitterness. Not sure if the mixture works for me. Pine hop bitterness with a touch of grapefruit. The malts jump out as really sweet. Nearly sugar sweet. Not really fruity or roasted or caramel like. Yet another Organic beer fails to deliver for me.

Clear copper color. Poured a nice creamy two inch off white head. There was excellent lacing left behind. Solid grapefruit aroma with a grainy maltiness that grows stronger as the beer warms. Nice tasting IIPA. Hop bitterness and some sweet malt hit first on the initial sip. But the flavor at this point is smooth and subtle. As the taste proceeds the hops ramp up the intensity. Just past the midway point a grainy maltiness flavor emerges but fails to overcome the big hop bitterness and slightly sweet hop flavor. I really like the big beer flavor of this big beer. Well done.

Clear copper pour, with a well-sustained head - nice blend of aromatic hops in the aroma - quite a nice flavor overall, especially for an organic beer - not abrasively hoppy like many iipas get, but a nice, full hop flavor that is well-balanced by a mild sweetness - medium-bodied and quite smooth for the style - spicy, herbal, earthy hops that are smooth going down - what more could you ask for? - well, okay, it could use a little more body, but other than that this is pretty good.

Bottle; Nose of spicy caramel with some maltiness; cherry brown with a medium beige head; flavor is spicy caramel with some cloves, kind of like some belgians, fading into a bitter hop finish. The hops become lighter as the brew warms.

A deep red beer with a fluffy brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, dusty hops, and hints of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of alcohol, wood, and roasted malt. A quite light porter.

Sweet chocolate seemed most prevelant in this porter — almost too sweet, like a thin sweet stout or watered down chocolate milk. Brown body, small head that disappeared quickly. Aroma was roasted malty with a hint of java and a hint of hops. The flavor was well to the sweet side with notes of chocolate and brown sugar. Some roasted malts and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Watery body.

Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Caramel malt and slight grain aroma. Slight citrus/grass flavor with some graininess. Lilngering grain. It’s not a cheap grain sense, but it’s still too much for me.

A pleasing, easy drinking and flavorful porter. Aroma rich with cookie, molasses, chocolate. Flavor dryer than the aroma preedicts, featuring dry cocoa and a touch of molasses. Soft mouthfeel, and light to medium weight. Purplish brown color.
