A: Amber colored liquid with some haze. Next to no head at all and very little lacings.
S: Smells of biscuit malts, honey sweet cookies and oatmeal.
T: Tastes some grapefruit. It is a bit sour and earthy with stale tones at the end.
M: Very thin body. Feels watery.
O: A disappointment. For a beer with this kind of name I expected it to have some attitude. But this one is just boring. Not worth the money.

Sample on tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Deep golden colour, head slightly off-white. Aroma of fruity hops / red fruits / blackcurrants, nice. Well balanced and pleasant flavour, distinctly hopped but not too much, sufficient malts. Would buy again.

Poured from a brown 11.2 oz. bottle. Has a dark bronze color with a 1/2 inch head, and some floaties. Smell is of dark breads, malts. Taste is bready malts, floral hops, balanced and smooth. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall, drinks more like an English pale ale than an American, but a good beer nonetheless.

This is a coppery-colored brew, clear but leaning darker with some red-brown to it, lots of yeast floating around in there unlike almost anything I've seen before. The head is a fluffy foam one finger tall that lies somewhere between tan and light brown. It keeps up, falling slowly and laying down some hard and heavy lace as it goes.
The smell is doughy, almost nutty, with some fruity esters and added balance as well as bitterness of mostly citrus notes. A "twiggy" (?) sort of earthiness develops strongly.
It's likewise sweet and malty with honey and fruits up front, but bitterness comes in with more strength than the nose. This has an earthy and citric element, but strong pine and pith notes as well. It's moderately spicy to add another element to its unusual character.
It's fluffy and just reaches medium, maybe a bit too soft with a crispness that persists nicely and a lingering finish mingling sweet and bitter on the palate.

Tried this at the Federal Taphouse in Lancaster PA. Good looking beer with an outstanding smell and taste. A lot going on that makes this an Interesting ale and one to try. Would pick it up again depending upon cost, good but not good enough if cost is high.
