12 ounce bottle shared by Alraomon. Thanks! Pours a brown tinged strawberry red color witha medium head. Very fruity hop aroma with strawberry, grape and plum notes. The taste is straightforward leafy hops. Not as fruity as the aroma but it does have some slight pineapple and grape notes, as well as some mild maltiness. Medium bodied.

Sample at the Columbus Ratebeer gathering at ogglethorp’s 11/20/08: Batch #E!007 courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is a murky reddish brown color with a wispy off-white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and nuts plus a touch of vanilla. Full-bodied with flavors of oak, earthy malt and vanilla. Some fruit in the background as well. The finish is malty with hints of rye and vanilla, and leaves a lingering dark fruit aftertaste. Overall an interesting take on the style that I enjoyed.

This wheat beer poured a clear light yellow colour with a rocky, white head. To the nose there are scents of apricots and cream. First taste is slightlu over-carbonatred with flavours of apricots and cream. Finish is slightly watery with the apricot lingering. Palate is almost oily with nothing but the flavour of apricots.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium sized white head and multiple floater. The aroma was sweet, tangy and light fruity with a faint grassy undertone. The flavor was tangy, sweetish and a bit yeasty with a lightly musty, chewy cardboard undertone. The finish was short and tangy. A bit understated but nicely drinkable. Decent.
