2007 bottle from lb4lb - so for a while I was drinking this, and thinking that it wasn’t entirely awful, and then Larry (goldtwins) had to go and say that it tasted like orange juice, and it all went down hill from there - it really is tangy and citrusy, like OJ, or even Tang - remember Tang? - it’s what the astronauts drink - anyway - the aroma was kind of doughy, with notes of fig and cherry - quite doughy in flavor, yet thin-bodied at the same time - some dried cherries and oranges (Tang!) - odd - drinkable, but not that good.

Hazy amber color; nice lace. The aroma is malty, with fruity hops. Full mouthfeel, excellent malt flavor, sweet but not thick nor oily, with a robust but not overwhelming, good and aromatic hopping; some fruitness. Excellent.

Hazy blond color; huge head, too much… The aroma is a bit spicy, with lemon peel too. The body is so thin (overfermentation), the flavor is not interesting, there is even a bit of ammonia. Not so good.

A small, white head leaves a clear, brown body behind. As the brewer’s description says, this is slightly roasty, slightly rich. In aroma and flavor. Not bad, nothing really exciting.

Deep amber color with a small fleeting off-white head. Subdued hop and malt aroma. The flavor is bitter, not overly so, but firm from start to finish. Nicely dry palate. Thanks to my SS for this Texas brew.

Thanks to my SS for this one. Big gushy pour out of the bottle. When the big puffy off-white head settles, it becomes a hazy light orange brew. Bright, fruity nose with lots of caramel. Lightly sweet start, spritzy body, some drying bitterness comes in at the end.
