Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark bronze color with a medium sized khaki head. The aroma was basic sour malts. The flavor was tangy and sour malts that are rather bitter and reminiscent of windex. The finish is very bitter windex. Total crap drain pour.

An orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of oranges combined with a fine presence of hops, giving it a grapefruit note as well as a dry bitter end.

Oh, such a coincidence that I should taste after shopping for a pine tree! Interesting and rather cool colored blue 12 oz bottle. Popping cap, no apparent aroma but perhaps a hint of yeast. After the pour into my steeler stein it does have a hint of pine needles in the background. Pours pretty dark brown, looks like root beer. This is my first yards for a while. Has a roasty pine needle flavor that is odd and interesting at the same time. Seems pretty strong in the alcohol department. When I say pine needles, I mean needles, not pine wood. Good for a single try, go for it, you must experience. Finish is like no other, very sprucely and unique. My first traditional ale. Could only drink one per sitting.

Wow, I have just realized why I was really drunk that one night. I had this beer out of a keg and had no idea that its alcohol content was so high. There would have been no way to tell that the alcohol content was that high. Lovely bitter taste, full bodied, but pale. Not really a complex beer, but one that I would definately like to try under more introspective circumstances.

Got this beer from a keg at a party. I was already drunk and this was a great transition away from the malt liquor that I was drinking earlier. A nice sweet beer, with a stale bite at the end. Definately a nice beer to swish around in your mouth. A good beer to swish around in the mouth and easy to drink even while heavily intoxicated.
