Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of byaeger. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Spicy aroma, a little cinnamon. Almost light in body, dryish fruit accents - the pumpkin really shows. A little spice but not overly and cloyingly sweet as most Pumpkin beers - thankfully. Hardly any bitterness. Quite pleasant actually. 140310

Sample at Lengthwise. Pours a lightly hazed copper color with a medium thin and foamy white head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrusy hops and pine. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character that is resiny and has pine and citrus notes. Mild caramel malt in the background as well. The finish is hoppy with a lingering pine and grapefruit aftertaste. Naming your beer like this is a setup for disappointment, and while not "just outstanding" it is a good IPA.

Handbottle shared by Eric
Appearance: Pours a hazy golden straw with a white head, leaving some lacing
Aroma: The beer was oxidized so the aroma was pretty bad
Taste: Very nice taste of citrus & floral hops
A very nice tasting beer. I hope to be able to try a fresh one sometime.
Re-Rate 9/30/2011
GABF 2011, finally I get a chance to re-rate this beer. Aroma and taste is tropical fruit, floral and light caramel
Very nice.

Bottle - thanks Odeed. Golden pour with a modest white head. Dry, bready nose has hints of peanut butter. Tastes a bit like corn syrup has been paired with lager malt, some dry florals, and hints of grain. Sort of off the mark for what I’d expected.

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a small hazzlenut golden glare and a fully diminished off-white head. Aroma is dry roasted malt and vanilla. Smooth. Sweet, alcohol and dark roasted malt in the initial flavour impression. Slight phenolic and dark roasted malt base. Lingering chocolate, vanilla and dark malty into the finish.

Draft at the Bistro DIPA Fest at 11AM, my first beer and favorite of the fest. Murky yellow orange with a medium pale yellowish head. Nose jumps out hoppy tones of pine and ivy. Flavor is bitter, bitter, and more bitter with background caramel undertones. Superb new beer; can’t wait to get to the brewpub next week for a growler.

My 2750th rating entered! Another special beer by Kyle at KRB! Nose of light notes of toffee, cloves, sweetness, oak and balsamic vinegar from the wine barrel. Hazy amber with a small, offwhite, lightly lacing head. Flavor is cloves, corriander, caramel, and a light woody tartness. Love this stuff!

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours really dark with a slight dark tan head. Very dark aromas of chocolate, coffee and burnt malt. Near full body with mildly frothy carbonation. Flavor is very smooth burnt malt and chocolate, the coffee holds off a bit. Quite a good drink.

Bomber from Country Club and draft at the brewpub. Lighly hazy brwon with a medium, lightly lacing beige head. Nose of light pine and floral hops, caramel, and breadiness. Flavor is caramel, rye bread, and bitterness. Nicely hoppy!
