Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

On tap at the brewery. Rich head with a piney,hoppy aroma,and a trace of live yeast. Rich malt and orange-fruit flavor. Smooth, with a clear hit of alcohol and some yeast. Tangy hops spread to become clearer at the end, where the alcohol makes itself felt, followed by a quite bitter finish and strong aftertaste.
I don't know if I like it or not. It has a lot of things in it that's difficult to describe. Some tart sour, some wood.
Light amber color, big white head. Malty and fruity aromas. Lightly sweet malt and light hop flavor. Good beer.
