2012 Vintage. Poured a slightly hazy orange-ish color with an off white head. In the aroma, a fresh grapefruit like hops and a small rye presence. In the taste, dry notes of rye, mellow grapefruit like hops. A small hop bite and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry rye and small hop citrus in the aftertaste. Overall this was a very good beer and will search for more.

From old, undated notes. Had this on draft.

Clear red-orange hue.

White head; strong lace.

Grapefruit & pine nose; hint of caramel.

Medium mouthfeel.

Caramel, pine & fresh grass flavor. Crisp & tasty, if not my favorite notes.

Above average.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: A bit of a bubble show and then the cap recedes to a two inch head; the liquid is amber colored and hazy; decent lacing action

Smell: Malty and herbaceous; caramel and earthy tones abound

Taste: Caramel and earthy tones forward; with the herbaceous element building; spicy rye flavors emerge to some extent, after the swallow, but malts linger through the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: You can count of Total Wine to sell some old beers, this one being a 2014 bottling; maybe this would be better fresh

Globe Drug; 2014; review a week later; 22OZ; overall, even though it was a year old, I still liked this beer.
