I'm not sure if this beer has been retired, because the website makes it appear as if this is still an active Brew and here it looks retired. The ABV on my bottle is 6.8. I found this on a back shelf at a local store. Thought it was pretty darn good.

22oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden-yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of pine, citrus and caramel. Very citrusy and piney bitterness is balanced out by caramel and toffee.
