Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a decent pine hop. Flavor is also a pretty decent pine hop with a wheat malt in the backround. Someone in our group said this tastes like trees. Pretty solid hopped up wheat beer.

On tap @ Baileys. Pours a golden appearance with a thin white head. Corn, hay, sweet malty nose. Decent body. Not that overly sweet. Toasted cracker flavor. Not all that bad.

On tap @ Baileys. Pours a hazy yellow appearance with a creamy white head. Nice softly floral, grapefruit, lemon zest aroma. The Amarillo hops come through nicely in the flavor though there is pretty high bitterness. Grapefruit, slight dankness, and tropical fruit. Low sweetness. Pretty good.

Bottle shared at RBWG 2014 Late Night tasting - Asheville. Pours mostly clear gold with a white cream head. Doughy malts, some straight bread, caramel, toast, toffee, light butter. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish with rich sugars, more toffee, some butterscotch. Nice.

Bottle - Chocolate, vanilla and a caramel sweetness. Cloudy orange with a rich beige head. Caramel, chocolate and light chocolate notes. This is an absolutely awesome beer. Well balanced and tons of caramel.

Bottle @ Beer Fart Dunegeon Aloft. Pours a Reddish brown appearance with a tan head. Super nice rye and caramel and whiskey aroma. A touch sweet and a bit goopy but the rye just comes through deliciously. Tons of caramel. Fun though a bit boozy.
