12 oz can courtesy of my friend Kevin. Best By Jan 17 2015 stamped on the can. The pour is a slight haze yellow white with a smallish white head. The aroma is general Asian spices, ginger and a resin floral hop. The taste is a combination of the Asian spices and the resinous floral hops. The spice is very bright at the start, as the Belgian yeast is in the back. The palate is medium soft carbonation with the spice finish. Not terribly balanced, though still a fun beer.

Can. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head that lasts leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong funk, oak, and brett. Medium mouthfeel with nice barrel character compared to CS version, nice funk, light lacto. Very nice.

12oz can pours with a clear gold body that supports a white head. The aroma is all clove, coriander and Belgian yeasty spices rimmed with malt and fruity ester sweetness. The taste starts with sweet malts, a brief flash of maybe citrus hops and then heading into firm notes of Belgian yeasty spices and cloves and coriander. For me this is far too Belgian and not enough Pale Ale going on here.

Best by Nov 12, 2014.
A very dark brown brew with some reddish highlights, the off white foam starts off big but shrinks quickly leaving some lacing behind.
The smell is all Brown Ale like. ;^) Big hoppy but with more than hints of roasted malt and coffee. I think the hop and roasted malt have a nice "marriage" going on and they are celebrating the event with the coffee.
The taste just supports what I said about the smell. Nice bitter from the hops and roasted malt with a wee bit of sweetness that doesn’t quite balance things out, but this is an American Brown Ale, so all is right with the world. Did I forget to mention coffee’s involvement? I think it brings things together and gives this Brown Ale and extra oomph. Wow. Oomph is a word without the red squiggly lines but hoppy isn’t?
Medium is what I’d use to describe the body and carbonation.
This is an excellent Brown Ale and I will enjoy drinking the other cans I have.

Slightly clear coloured body with a thin one centimetre tall off-white. Aroma of strong pineapple, pine and resinous hops with a large malt backbone and a strong yeast finish. Full-bodied; Strong rich malt and hops flavour at first with a deep apricot and oak note and a solid malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a very strong hop note with a ton of sugars and toffee and a lot of apricots. Overall,a very nice and rich imperial ipa with a ton of flavours and a rich complexity throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Santa Fe Wine & Spirits in Littleton, Colorado on 06-June-2014 sampled a day later with haddon90, thanks Phil!

Can from Liz. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is a little bready and lightly spicy. Med body til carb leaves. Flavor is bready, mildly noble, and it unfortunately ends rather grainy. And a little bitter.

Rich, slightly hazy amber and copper coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of yeast, mild bread, pale malt and some light floral hops. Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie and spice notes up front with some bread and a hop kick with some grassy and herbal notes. Aftertaste is dry with some herbal notes and a little bit of bread. Overall, a nice, but deeply bready and yeastie beer with some good flavours, but nothing spectacular. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased a few minutes ago at Whip In in Austin, Texas on 05-May-2014 sampled a few minutes later in my hotel room here in Austin on 05-May-2014.

Golden color, hazy, medium head. Wonderful fruity hop aroma, a bit animal. Full bodied, good malt flavor, moderately sweet, good toffee character; strong bitterness, animal resins, and plenty of fruity character.
Balanced. Excellent.
