Gription79 (2691) - Bountiful, Utah, USA - SEP 18, 2015
Poured from a 22 ounce bomber. I was very surprised by this beer. Huge American hop aroma, citrus, pine. The flavor is malty, caramel, bready, citrus, pine. The dry finish really helps with the malty character of this beer. Very drinkable.

3fourths (8702) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - SEP 13, 2015
Draft.. Clear dark amber with a lasting white head. Aroma is basic crystal malt / multi-grain crackers, wort, fruit cocktail. Medium bodied, caramel and toffee-forward, malty and sweet with moderate bitterness. Notes of red delicious apple and crystal malt with quiet touches of raw yeast and soap in the finish. Nothing strongly out of sorts, no major problems, but it is simple and doesn’t demand much attention.

foyle (335) - Wyoming, USA - JUL 26, 2015
Sample from 22 oz bottle in pint glass. Appearance: pours a 1" sudsy cream colored head. Leaves a bit of lacing. Clear amber color with mild streaming carbonation. Aroma: fruity, floral, and citrus hops dominate with some malt sweetness in the background. Mouthfeel: medium bodied and resinous with a fairly astringent finish. Flavor: bitter citrus, tangy fruit and floral hops, some toffee and white bread. Overall: good, but not outstanding. It seems to lack some balance as more malt is expected in the style.

Ernest (6841) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUN 24, 2015
Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly/fully diminishing. Body is light to medium amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel, cookie), moderately hoppy (apricot, flowers), with light notes of dried mango, yellow squash, bile. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter, slightly unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. The aroma is ok, would be better if not partly ruined by the vegetal and stomach acid sorta odors. Sadly, it’s surprisingly sour in the mouth with a rather dirty aftertaste, so it’s unpleasant to drink. A drain pour, unfortunately. Quite overpriced relative to the quality, and this was the cheapest bottle they had. Presuming this is pretty typical Coda quality, I certainly won’t be buying any others.

On tap @ Coda. Pours a burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Caramel, toasted malty, a bit grainy, orange citrusy aroma. Kind of thick body. Lots of honey in the flavor. Tangerine, orange flavors. Not too shabby.

Tap at the brewery - dark gold with a thick, soapy lace - nose is fresh citrus.zest, peach, melon - light, refreshing, dry and tangy - fresh citrus peel, moderate bitterness - the orange blossom honey is understated, adding a subtle floral earthiness and a touch of sweetness on the end - nice refreshing summer brew.

onceblind (5916) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 28, 2014
Clear very light amber under a thin off white cap. Musty caramel nose with some bright grassy/ lemonish hops with some toasted English muffin and quiet earthiness. Nice herbal and sticky hoppy caramel flavor with floral and grassy hops, getting resinous toward the finish (with a bit more resin in the nose as it warms)
