4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Angelmonster (155) - Colorado, USA - OCT 7, 2015
Can is dated 8/12/15
Pours a honey-amber color with orange highlights. Head is 1/5th of an inch and off white. Head retention is good and so is lacing.
Smell is of floral/earthy hops and sweet honey/Belgian rock candy. Bits of pine come through as beer warms, very hop forward aromas. Alcohol is undetected.
Taste is similar to smell, lots of hops. Pine hops and fresh cut grass are predominate, sugary malt comes in after to balance it out. Theres a nice balance of bitter and sweet, kinda similar to an English pale ale. Alcohol isnt distinguished.
Mouthfeel is light and well carbonated. Head lasted through out and added some texture to the beer.
Overall this beer was very refreshing and different take on the style. Mix of an amber, IPA, Black IPA, and Barleywine. Glad to get this as an extra in a trade, would buy again.

Canette, merci Vincent. 29 juin 2015, elle est très fraiche. Une robe cuivrée avec une belle mousse. Un nez de houblon à la sauce conifère. Une bouche huileuse avec une superbe amertume. Cette bière est très houblonnée. Un succès.

Big can in a taster. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of floral and lightly resinous hops, some pale malts and caramel malts, and some dough. Flavor the same. Average texture. A solid beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 SlovakSniper (4046) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 24, 2015
(Date qui figure sous la canette : 06/29. Une dégustation offerte par Vincent. Merci!) Une robe rousse et un col beige qui saccroche tant bien que mal. Le nez de conifère, de feuille de tabac et de caramel est loin dêtre désagréable. Au goût, les conifères transpirent la résine et le tabac se transforme en effet terreux. Les céréales toastées procurent un effet désirable. En bouche, le liquide montre un corps moyen-faible avec un pétillement modéré et une texture légèrement crémeuse. La finale est assez amère, fraîche sur des houblons encore bien jeunes. Pas si mal!

Can shared in NYC. Pours clear copper with a creamy topping. The nose holds pine, toasty grains, hints of caramel. Light sweet flavor with ripe berries, some leather, earth, pine, grainy toast. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with toasty grains, faint tangy berries, crackers, earth, leaves. So so.

Poured from a pint can its a reddish amber with a nice head. Pine, malt in the aroma. Taste of grapefruit, pine. Reminds me a little of some hombrew Ive had before. Decent ale, worth a quaff.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 jamesewelch (219) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - MAY 8, 2015
From 16oz can, 11th Bravo special edition, poured into 16oz tulip glass, around $12 for 4-pack at brewery
Aroma: citrus, piney, hoppy
Appearance: amber, big tan head with good retention, hazy liquid
Taste: Light to medium bitter
Palate: light to medium body, bitter and dry aftertaste
Overall: Ive had this a few times from draught and cans. This 11th Bravo is a special edition of Valor canned for a charity drive to raise awareness of PTSD. The aroma was a nice big hoppy, citrusy aroma that faded after 5 minutes. The big hop aroma made me think it was going to be more like an IPA for bitterness, but its a solid Amber Ale with a good balance of hops and malts. Would pair great with food. Nice malt backbone with a good dose of hops.
