12 oz bottle, notched June 06, poured into a pint glass

A—pours foggy brownish copper with a 1 inch off white head that slowly crumbles down to a thin sheet, lacing is thick and plentiful

S—citrus and pine, a touch of pepper, very strong in the citrus smell, is this and IPA?

T—mmmm! Citrus and pine, just like the smell, a touch of sweetness in the swallow, but finishes dry and bitter, very good, indeed.

M—sharp and dry, medium bodied, good carbonation

D—the best of the Trail Mix sampler that I bought, I’d have this again in a minute, very hoppy and very good.

brewed with farts. looks nice, smells...assy. mouthfeel is okay, actually kinda nice but, i think it might be something to do with what tastes like toasted malts that were over done or something, it just kind of tastes like the smell of farts. its got all of the right elements but they are arranged poorly, it seems.

Back in PA from my DE trip to my brother's wedding:

Into a pint glass:

A: hazy orange body with a half finger white foamy head that quickly dies to a film coating the top of the body, some clingy foamy lacing a bit here and there

S: light grain malt, piney hops and a soapiness (wish I knew how old this was, but didn't see any dates on the bottle), caramel comes out after a bit of warming

T: sweet yet bitter at different times with a decent maltiness coming out to provide a nice balance, still that soapy taste comes in a bit but isn't too bothersome

M: light, very sessionable, the ABV is not felt, and seems just a tad under-carbonated

O: hmmm.... I wish I knew how old this was, something just doesn't seem right, I'd probably only seek again if I could find a fresher bottle as I'm thinkin' this was a bit old
