Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a hazy orange with frothy white head. The mild aroma is sweet sugary malts and mild hops like grapefruit and over ripe orange. Just like the aroma it starts sweet and malty with a hint of astringency. The hops are mild with grapefruit, ripe orange and orange rind. The bitterness builds some into the finish but is overall lackluster in its assertiveness.

Hazy orange-ish straw color with a thin white head. The aroma is nothing but a vague malt sweetness and if I concentrate I think I get a hint of hops. The taste starts thin and with above average carbonation. It has a very mild flavor that’s much like the aroma with vague maltiness and mild grapefruit hops.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - hazy reddish copper beer - spicy aroma, with notes of butterscotch and caramel - odd hop spiciness that doesn’t integrate well - a bit sweet, with apparent diacetyl - the alcohol comes out a lot as it warms - not that good.

Bottle: Poured a light orangey color ale with a small foamy head with some good retention and some medium lacing. Aroma of bitter malt is dominating with no discernable notes of caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by some deep bitter hops notes with some subtle malt presence. I would have appreciated some more notes of citrus or resin. Body is about average with some medium carbonation.

Aroma is lemongrass, orange, and a little feety. Hazy amber with a thin off white head. Unremarkablle taste of weak caramel and orange. Good lemon grass finish. Highly drinkable with good quality hops, but there is not a lot of character.

Aroma is orange and grapefruit, with a little yeast. Cloudy amber with a thin to medium light orange head. Dry and yeasty, lemon peel. Piny finish. Kind of a chewy mouthfeel. I like this brewer, but this isn’t one of their best. Still above average.

Aroma is equal hops and chocolate, with caramel present to a lesser degree, not very strong though. Black color medium tan coating head. Hearty grain and chocolate taste. Savory and paprika finish. This would pair amazingly well with steak, lamb, or venison. Excellent!

Bomber from Ross a long time ago; Nose of chocolate, caramel, with a smoky hint; clear cherry brown with a small, but glass-lacing straw head; flavor of toffee, smoke, and some roastiness; smooth drinking as I sit here drinking these winter beers on a 108 degrre day (under the AC of course)!

Nice bouquet of apple, grapefruit, and caramel. Clear reddish copper pour with a thick tan head. Apple core taste, prominent alcohol. Tinny lemongrass finish.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours brown with tan head. The aroma is sweet thin molasses, hints of coffee and caramel. Not really all that Porter like. Nice malty flavors like roasted malts, a hint of sweeter malts, coffee, an oatmeal twang, hints of caramel, light astringency and not much in the way of classic Porter burnt malts.
