Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2013. It pours hazy golden yellow with a medium white head.. The nose is earthy, juicy orange, dough, apple, pear, banana, hay and wheat. The taste is sour, fruity, white grape skin, dough, orange, grapefruit, gooseberry, green banana and icing sugar with a dry, tart finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Tastes infected unfortunately....

22 oz. bottle purchased at Top Shelf Brews. Nice looking brew. Dark brown the huge fluffy tan head that left massive retention. Aroma is caramel, roasted nuts and light smoke. Taste is sweet with the roasted nuttiness coming through in the middle with just a hint of campfire in the finish. Hints of chocolate malt. The roasted nut flavor is deep. Roasted grain backbone. Very smooth and easy to drink. The brewer really should brew this again next year. Much, much better than the standard Dippty Brown. A very nice drinkable brew.

What is this? Looks nice. No head nose is radishes. Taste is carrots and onion skin. Carrots and banana peel? What?

32 oz. growlette from the brewery. Poured less then 18 hours ago. Pilsner glass show a nice hazy dark gold color without any head. Nose is all vegetal. Cooked mix carrots and peas. Where is the melon? What the hell happened with this brew? I really like what the brewers at Throwback do, using all local ingredients however, something went wrong with this. When I had a 2 oz sample at the brewery I thought this would be similar to Hell or High watermelon. Well it’s not. It hurts me to write this review but... This is a drain pour.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid dark brown with a decent sized very creamy tan head that sticks on to for a good long time. The aroma is heavy on the caramel and chocolate with hints of dark fruit. There is a bit of smoke in the nose, but it is very subtle. The flavor is light in the bacon heavy in the fruity flavor with lots of caramel brown sugar and chocolate. Medium body with a creamy silky mouthfeel and a moderate level of carbonation. Oddly for a double smoked double brown ale this one is not very smokey. That being said, I often find that smoked beer tends to be over the top with phenols whereas this beer uses the smoke to add a bit of character to a really nice brown ale.

Bottle picked up at Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy medium copper color with a tightly bubbled off white head that shows moderate retention. Caramel, toffee, and a hint of butterscotch malt aromas countered by a huge grapefruity lemony citrus a hint of pine. The flavor is a little different than the nose promised. Bitter pine and lemon pith that is barely sweetened with caramel and toffee. Sharp acrid hop bite with a hint of alcohol taste. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a lingering sharp bitter mouthfeel. Lots of bittering hops were used here, more late additions could mellow some of the harshness. Nice brew, I certainly wouldn’t turn down another.
