Growler during RBWG. Pours a cloudy orange with large off white head that lasts. The aroma is pine and citrus. Medium mouth with similar flavor to nose with nice resin finish, very good.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a super huge brown foamy head (quite a bit of a gusher actually). Aroma of dry caramelized malt with some dry toffee notes. Taste is also dominated by actually quite nice dry caramelized malt notes with some subtle notes of toffee and a generally quite dry finish. Body is about average with too much carbonation. Not too bad for an old ale that was past its best by date by almost three years.

A reddish copper ale with a thick frothy mocha head, gushed like a volcano. In aroma, herbaceous caramel malt with wild hops, light iodine notes, OK. In mouth, a nice tart caramel malt with light grassy hops, effervescent, a bit unbalanced, so-so. Bottle at 2014 Ottawa Xmas gathering.

Sample at the 2014 Infected Chimipalooza on 11/01/2014. Cloudy straw color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of tart berries and yeast. Light-bodied with a moderately tart fruit character and notes of herbal yeast and malt. The finish is lightly sour with a wheaty and fruity aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet marshmallow and lactic aromas. Sharp and light bodied with lemon citrus upfront turning to marshmallow in the lasting finish.
