Can at El Rey Burrito Lounge, Montgomery. Sweet and resinous aroma with caramel malt, grapefruit, sweet orange, and loads of thick pine resin. Rather sweet flavour with an equally firm bitterness. Body is medium to full with a sticky feel. Überresinous, which I generally like, bit this one lacks some fruity counterbalance.

Bottle. Strong hop flavor with a nice bitterness. Also some pine and spice. Very nice beer.

Draft at brewery. Dark gold in color, poured with a thin white head and lace ring. The aroma is floral with some dankness on the backend. Moderately bitter finish.

Bottle at Dream lake in Alabama The ale poured an amber color with a small head . There was citrus and pine resin on the nose. The ale had a medium body with soft carbonation. The higher alcohol may have muted some of the hop bitterness. The bitterness does become more pronounced at the end. This was the first beer enjoyed after fishing for large mouth bass all day.

Draft at the source. Cloudy amber color, huge off tan head. Aroma of pine resin and grapefruit. Taste is bitter pine and citrus.

Draft at the Huntsville Brewery. Pours clear copper with a fizzy white head. Tastes like musky cereal malt, butterscotch, and bitter hops. Light/medium body and low carbonation. Smells musky, creamy, buttery, light pine and citrus.

Draft at taproom. Pours light orange with a half inch of khaki foam. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Big pine on the nose. Big pine on the tongue. Finishes with a lot of bitterness. It’s basically like French kissing a pine tree. Not a lot of balance here. This is probably my record for most sentence fragments in a review. I find the description of being a surprisingly smooth ale really deceptive since my sister made a straight-up bitter beer face while sampling this.

Rocket City Brewfest, hazy light copper with a white head. A: resin caramel, hoppy. T: resin caramel. Medium body with a bitter finish.
