Cask at GBBF 2015, day 3 - London. Pours clear, rich gold with a light, creamy white head. Nice pine and bread in the nose, ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavour with plump citrus fruit character, mango, oily pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous and lightly warming finish. Very good.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Aviators, Denver Airport. A clean maple syrup brown color pour, off white loose foam head. Hints of chocolate sit underneath a nutty malt and big maple constant. So basically they nailed what they were going for here. A bit of bread on the lingering malt bill as well. This is light and refreshing for the style, but doesn't lack flavor. Pretty good stuff here.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 8/24/2015. Pours slightly hazy medium golden/yellow color with a small fairly dense white head with decent retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty cap that lingers. Minimal lacing on the glass. Good appearance. Aromas of red/green chile peppers, skin/seeds, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of chile peppers, pale malts, and mild earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big red/green chile peppers, skin/seeds, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy hop bitterness and pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of red/green chile peppers, skin/seeds, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of chile peppers, pale malts, and mild earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, zero yeast notes preset. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as wexpected of 5.3%. Slightly increasing pepper heat through the glass, never overwhelming. Overall this is a very good pepper spiced pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of chile peppers, pale malts, and mild earthy hop flavors; very smooth, clean, and quite refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy finish. Very flavorful and no overdone on the peppers. Clean balanced pils malts, peppers, and mild earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Hazy light amber. Not much head. Citrusy hops and a bright orange note. Really orangey...artificial. Lots of bitterness but it’s not cohesive with that syrupy.

Taster at the brewery - dark Amber - a very toasty and chocolately dunkel, with some notes of hazelnut and vanilla, and maybe a touch of maple - pretty smooth and balanced, but too sweet.
