Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4
Draught at the brewery, 1/30/16.
Deep auburn-crimson body has a tan element to it, good clarity and a beige head atop with moderate retention.
Smoke in the nose is somewhat salty, lightly ashy and quite fruity, though that’s certainly a combination with the strong maltiness present. Tons of vinous notes with toffee, vanilla and buttercream. A bit of more dry ash/char-like character on the end, but mostly quite powerfully malty and richly smokey.
Heavily sweet in the flavor, with a huge burst of caramel-toffee, heavy melanoidins and toasted malt notes. By the time you feel the smoke, it’s just too much, adding strong, salty flavors, rich campfire and light bacon. Alcohol, more toasted malt and a light ash are the only things attempting to balance and they fail miserably at doing so. Way, way, way too sweet. Nothing wrong with a malty doppelbock, but this doesn’t have the requisite acidity on the finish to balance. Creamy, near-syrupy texture with medium carbonation.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5
Draught at the brewery, 1/30/16, listed as "Ales for ALS" but the abv is the same so I assume it’s the same or similar enough.
Medium copper-golden body has a small but fairly well-retained white head atop. High clarity.
Some stone fruits, light citrus and a touch of pine in the nose signify a pretty straightforward blend of New Zealand and American varietals. Malts provide light honey and biscuit and seem well-attenuated from the nose with no alcohol or flaw.
Great texture, with tight carbonation, a moderately malty mouthfeel and good attenuation. Lush fruits and floral notes combine with lemon and orange while there’s a touch more of a pine bitterness on the finish. Sessionable, but still quite interesting and quite hoppy. No flaws or alcohol noted.

Draught at the brewery, 1/30/16.
Mostly clear, pale white grape juice with a fleeting white head.
Definitely lactic acid but at the same time, lots of cider and vegetal qualities. Very sparse malt behind it consists of crackers, primarily. No alcohol.
Lactic acid, dry cider vinegar and light vegetal notes parallel the nose, with a bit of saltiness, moderate carbonation and zero maltiness nor even much wheat character. No major problems but just so very minimal on any characteristics other than kettle souring and cider.

Bottle shared at the Christmas party, thanks to whoever brought it. Lightly hazy light golden. Earthy pine and citrus aroma and flavor. Better than I expected, might have to check out more from this brewery!

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting VII on 09/25/2015. The beer is a clear dark orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of funky yeast, fruit and smoked malt. The finish is moderately sour with a cherry aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Keg pour at NH Brewfest. (This was labeled as "Fresh Patch Pumpkin" but same ABV so I’m going to assume it is the same as previous ratings, though considerably older.) Appearance is golden yellow-orange with mild head and mild lacing. Aroma is cinnamon, allspice dominant, as one might expect. Taste is spices, as nose, but pleasantly restrained--nice for pumpkin beers. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation. Overall, nothing too surprising or distinctive here but, if you’re looking for a tasty pumpkin beer that won’t whack you over the head, this would be a decent choice.

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is nice yellow pour with mild sparkle, trace head with minimal lacing. Aroma is pine and resin hops. Taste is dominant moderate to heavy pine/resin bitterness. Palate is light bodied with thin texture and very bitter finish. Overall, didn’t get the citrus/floral/grapefruit but otherwise as described: "decidedly bitter palate." Bitter hop heads will really like this but not my cup of tea.

Bottle thanks to Andy. It pours cloudy bright orange with a decent white head. The nose is soft, juicy, sweet citrus, pineapple, orange, peach and bread. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, floral, peppery spice, grapefruit peel, cracker and bread with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty refreshing and drinks pretty easy.
