Alcohol aroma with a hint of fruit. WTF? This is not very good! Bread and toasted malt flavors start things out, but those are mainly disguised by some alcohol brutality. Surprising since the alcohol content is only 7.83%. Since I couldn't deal with that, I let it sit around while I played around on Twitter for a while, hoping some warmth would take that edge off.
OK. So I'm back now. Please, God. Don't make me dump two in a row. Again, the big malts and breads, not bad. Sweet, but medicinal. Perhaps some fruits lingering in the background, and a distinct nutty flavor poking its head out. Shiver--yeah, it's not gone, but more manageable. Some herbal tea qualities accompany more off flavors. Sweet and bitter and alcoholic at the same time, all over the place. Creamy carbonation and smooth; it's the flavors and the dry, bitter ending that are killing this beer (which are pretty important, don't you think?). I'd give my right for a New Dogtown Pale Ale right about now. Definitely Pass!
BTW, for those of you that think I forgot a word in that last sentence, use your freaking imagination!

Damn, wish I would have gotten this review a few hours earlier. I picked up the same thing to try this weekend. Is it bottle conditioned? If so, maybe I can let it age and let the alcohol heat burn off.
Hi. Let me know your thoughts after trying it. I really wanted to like it, just didn't.
I'm praying for a good beer tomorrow as it's been a rough few days.
I didn't enjoy this one at all. My review gave it a C grade at best. I really enjoyed the label but this is one of those sad cases where there seemed to be more thought put into the presentation than the actual taste.
Hey Joel.
Yeah, not a favorite. Not even close! Wait, I didn't even really like it at all. I am very proud of my picture though, so I will remember this one!
