Poured from a 22 oz bomber into an oversized snifter. I've had this in tap before at the brew kettle, and I've brewed their home-brew version of this in their brewery, so I'm curious to see how their bottled version compares to mine.

Pours a clear amber with a soapy white head. The clarity of the beer clearly indicates it has been filtered.

Has a wonderful hoppy nose, full of pine and white grapefruit. There's a subtle sweetness lying underneath the string hop aroma.

Has a spicy, peppery start, slightly sweet and warm, ending with a bracing bitter bite that leaves a warm trail down the throat and into the belly. Very pleasing tasting, this is not quite as warm, sweet or mellow as it is on tap.

Medium bodied, this beer leaves the mouth feeling bitter and dry.

This is an excellent brew, I definitely recommend you try this if you get the chance.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, tan head of foam. It smelled of citrus, pine and toasted caramel. Sweet caramel and citrus. Nice piney bitterness.

Looks like Amber honey
Smells like pine and citrus. The alcohol burns the nose a little.
Tastes sweet and quenching. Alcohol taste comes in as an afterthought.
Overall this reminds me of my grandparents attic.
