16oz can, served in a snifter glass. Pours a darker medium orange body, one finger white head, fair retention, lots of lacing. Smell is caramel, toffee, a fair bit of resin, but for the most part, fairly bland on the aroma even as it warms. The Magnum hops don't seem to add much aromatics, though this isn't too malty by any means. Flavour is a nice combination of caramel and toffee with a resinous bitterness on the backend, more floral and grassy than anything else. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, moderately bitter, crisp with a good carbonation behind it. Overall, a decent wet hopped ale, although I think the Magnum seems to be more of a bittering hop given the relative lack of aromatics behind it.

 

Look: Dark orange, clear, with 2 inch white head that recedes quickly. Medium carbonation.
Smell: Caramel, biscuit, floral herbs, and pine.
Taste: Piney, herbs, Caramel, and biscuit.
Mouthfeel: Medium.
Overall: An ok malty pale ale from Lamplighters.

 

 

Golden orange in color. Somewhat hazy in appearance. Caramel, earthy red malt and some pine bitterness. Nicely balanced. Creamy feel. Really good wet hop harvest ale.

 

I have often brewed a fall harvest ale from hops that I grow in my yard. This is what I was always striving to create. Excellent fall beer that marries the concept of fresh hops and malt
