(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hmm, my label is green with an ABV of 11.2%. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of....aroma hops. Full-bodied with plenty of caramel malt. Hoppy finish, but maintains an underlying sweetness throughout. 220406

Draft. Amber beer with a nice off-white head. Sweet malt aroma. Rich caramel and sweet malt flavor. Lots of big caramel. Hops are enough to balance and not make it too sweet. Thick and full bodied.

Bottle courtesy Walt. Ruddy orange body, thin off-white head. Soapy, earthy hops aroma, grassy, with a melon-like characteristic I can’t quite pin down. Peppery, lemony body with melon and flower petals, grassy, and biscuity malt. Rather unique, despite its low rating as an American Pale Ale. Worth a try.

2004: Orange amber with no head. Light raisiny malt aroma. Nice scotch malt with alcohol in mouth, with lingering hops, bitterness. Well balanced. Rich and oily mouthfeel. 7-3-8-4-15
2005: Sweeter than 2004, hazier, with thin white head. More hoppy and citrusy aroma, less oily mouthfeel. Lighter bodied, more like an I2PA. 7-3-7-3-14

[Vintage 2003 sampled June 2005] A hazy amber-red beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, hops, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, peach as well as a more general fruityness, but also some acidity. The alcohol burns the tongue - but in a nice way. The end is quite bitter. Thanks to Fly for letting me fly home with this from GABF.

Hazy light Brown ale with overflowing off-white head and huge bubbles. Slight off aroma with herbal sweet whiskey barrel. Sweet whiskey malt with light astringent hops at the end, lingering. Thanks to Argo via Capflu (Sept. 2004)

Bottle Pours a dark carmel brown with a fluffy, large light brown head that has some serious endurance, and leaves just spotty lacing. Aroma is a nice carmel apple, malty, wet cardboard flavor. Probly served a bit too cold at 43F. Tasste is sharp and slightly citrus with the hops lurking around. Interesting that the "brown" tree bark, smoke taste is almost invisible untill several seconds later as an early after taste. Then that goes away leaving a nice faint slightly bitter hops/woody trailer. Feel is a bit thin and the carbonation is acceptable. Quite drinkable and goes down easy. Not bad..IMO a bit underrated. Thanks goes out to 123456Green for the trade.

Bottle Pours a hazy medium amber with a huge white fluffy head. Hops and malt are right up front as far as aroma goes. Taste is nutty and hopy. A little sweet. Palate is fairly smooth and the finish has that hops bitter bite. Just OK. Thanks to 123456green for the trade ! : )

Bottle Pours a hazy golden yellow with a very laerge fluffy white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy, malty and a bit like wheat bread. The hops are much more obvious in the flavor as well as the high carbonation. These combine for quite a bite. Otherwise standard pale ale fare. Im glad this is very cold. Thanks to 123456green for the trade.

This beer is a dark golden amber color with a medium thin light beige head. Thin lacing. Lightly hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied and smooth with a decent hops and malt flavor. The finish is a little citrusy. Compared to their Rye and Sisyphus this beer isn't really remarkable, but it is a decent Pale either way.
