Deep copper color, crystal clear, minimal head and some lacing. Not a lot of nose, but pleasant bitterness with a solid, bready malt backbone. Reminds me a bit of Torpedo, which is probably why I like it. Cascade? with a little something piney for good measure. Could pass as an IPA.

This beer has a lot of head foaming over the top, nearly annoying, but quickly sparks a conversation. This was my gateway-into-hoppy-beers-beer.

Pine, hoppy, slight citrus punch that fades into an amber sweetness,
Taste Rating in Words: It's like being pinched by a crab or lobster, sharp pinching sensation that dulls but lingers over time.

Nice reddish color with 2 inches of creamy head. Nose very bready, biscuit, hops, and malt. Taste very bready with lingering hops and a bit of dried fruits. Lingering finish stays with you. I have had this twice but i cannot bare it. Seems to be a favorite from SBC but I cannot get on board.

Amber hued, little head but with good sheets of foam along the sides of the glass. Nice balance of malt sweetness with some crisp, spicy hop bitterness. Tasty and very satisfying.
Served on tap at Big R's BBQ in Joplin, MO.

Reddish Amber color with slight head. Sweet camel scent and maybe some type of fruit. A lot of Carmel malts and slightly bitter. Medium light body with medium carbonation. Pretty good different beer but not enough hops to put it in the name.
