Bottle from Cigarette City, Seabrook. Orange / Amber type color, thin lasting head in a chalice. Aroma has pine, tropical fruits and sweet caramel malt.
Flavor shows a ton of fruits, orange, tangerine with a caramel malt base. Solid amount of lingering pine finish. The body has a significant amount of caramel malt that gives it a slightly more sweetness then is warranted. I like the large pine hop profile that becomes dry. As it warms the bitterness gets harsh. The weighted average of this is about right. Good, not great.

Bottle - Vintage 2011 - Lots of rich chocolate notes and toasted coconut. Deep jet brown with a nice brown head. Sweet dark chocolate, coconut, marshmallow and a sweet cocoa finish. Long finish with more complexity, a great beer.

On tap in 83 Degrees, Carlsbad on 27th May 2015. Golden Amber pour with a full head on my US pint. Malty feel to the nose and flavour with plenty of hop action in the background. Semi sweet throughout with a mild piny and citrus injection from the hops. My sweet tooth liked it.
