Many thanks to Knapp85 for this can!

A - Slight haze a medium yellow gold in color with soapy white lacing.

S - Sticky, resiny citrus aroma. orange, lemon, tropical fruit, and juicy grapefruit.

T - Sticky floral, citrus, tropical fruit, ripe red grapefruit, a small shot of orange. Balanced finish with tropical fruit and low bitterness.

M - Big medium body and semi-dry.

O - This has always been a favorite hop variety of mine and they really shine in this beer. So far it looks like the opinions are all over the board with this one.

Can purchased from One Stop Beer Shop in ROchester, NY.

This one pours a dark-ish orange/brown color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.

Something went awry in the canning of this one - it's got some oxidation aromas, plus it's a bit malty, with lemony and grapefruity hops.

Amarillo is typically one of my favorite hops - it gives you a punchy bitterness with a big orange juicy flavor. Some of that expectation is kind of there, but it's buried under overwhelming malt character, and stale oxidation. I usually like Brindle Haus, it just seems that maybe they have inconsistent canning practices.

This is light bodied, with a big bitterness lingering on the back end. It's pretty drinkable, but the bitterness is definitely slightly taxing.

I usually enjoy Brindle Haus beers, but this was a miss.
