Pours a cloudy red amber color with a thick foamy head. Retention is decent. Lacing is great. Has a nice caramel happy aroma. Smooth caramel bready aroma with a nice happy edge at the end. A little bit of a medicinal vitamin taste at the end as well. Somewhat astringent. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Actually a surprisingly good beer.

Nice copper color.slightly copper head. Look good but unfortunately the alcohol just overpowers the taste. Just not enjoyable. . Won't buy again.

Pour a very pretty amber-red with small, but nice, creamy head. Very nice aroma with big malt and citrus fruit notes coming through. The body left a little to be desired for me as it did not match the big aroma - rather tame by comparison. Finish has a good amount of hoppy-ness to it, but it takes a second to actually hit. Not bad, but not a favorite.

12oz can poured into a tulip glass
A- pours a deep ruby brown color with a small cream colored head that retains nicely, leaving some lacing behind
S- big doughy and bready malt aroma up front complimented by some spicy & earthy yeast, piney and resinous hop undertones hide beneath the sweet malt
T- big sweet malty notes up front quickly mix with piney & citrus grapefruit hops, earthy and floral mid-palate, the finish gives more sweet malt with a woodsy cedar flavor on the linger
M- medium body and carbonation leads to a creamy chewy mouthfeel that continues to the finish
O- quite sweet up front but some nice hoppy notes poking through, high drinkability at 8.5%
