Bottle at the South Carolina BBQ competition. Didn’t really see the color or detect an aroma because we drank it from the bottle. Taste is slightly peppery caramel. Not much to this one.
Drought. Light amber color with small foamy whitish head, light hops aroma, sweet hoppy taste, mellow finish. Very smooth but a bit weak.
Bottle. Honey, barley malt, and orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet orange malt and lightly bitter orange peel flavor. Medium body. I seem to remember Henry Weinhard beers were a whole lot better in the mid 90s - most likely because they beat most of the crap available back then.
Bottle. Light citrus and equally light biscuity caramel aroma. Clear amber with a large off-white head. Herbal bitter hops and light malt flavor. Light watery body.
Bottle: Poured a copper with white head. Aroma is metallic hops and grain. Taste was hops, grain, pinch of malt, and finish was metal.
Bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with a frothy white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral hops and pine. Thin mouthfeel with sweet hop and honey with light bitter finish.
Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 10/26/12
Aroma: It is kind of sweet and malty, with caramel, sugar, and an underlying earth hop notes
Appearance: It pours an clear orange color with a small white head and drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet with some metallic notes, and a little bit of hop bitterness
Palate: The body is fairly light, it feels a little fizzy and a little metallic, with a mildly dry finish
Overall Impression: This one isn't impressive, and it probably isn't even an IPA, but it isn't a bad beer. Still though, I can't really imagine too many situations in which I would purposely choose this one again.
