ok, poured into a tulip. pours a clear brown amber with fizzy white head quick to dissipate. smooth light crisp aroma. light with little complexity to it. looking forward to this pecan beer, but not much going on in this, would be good as a compliment with some food, but it is too simple to stand alone. a mild nutty crispness to it. it is not bad per se, just to subtle.

Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle all around ATL. Pours an amber-copper with a finger or less of frothy white crown that has minimal retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is full of sweet caramel malt and oily nuts. You can definitely pick out the pecan odour - it’s not like a pecan pie but more like you ground up a whole bunch of raw pecans in a mortar and pestle. Not wholly desirable but the nut flavour is prominent in the beer. It does not overpower the malt backbone in the beer, though you can also sense the mild hop bitterness in the middle of the palate during tasting due to the moderate carbonation. The finish is smooth and not very dry, and the mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with a little bit of oiliness to it. Some bottles I have tasted have a metallic taste, others don’t. Overall a decent beer but not something I would gravitate towards in the cooler.

Oct 6, 2008 Dark amber appearance with a medium size tan head and good lacing. Long, deep sniffs finally pulled some nuttiness out of the aroma, but mostly it was caramel malts. Pecans were a little more evident in the taste. Some earthiness, still malt driven; hops were low keyed and non-descript. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel with a short lived finish. Nice flavor overall, just wished they were a little more generous with the pecans.

Oct 6, 2008 Pours copper, off white head.
Aroma, fileld with pecan nuts, malty.
Taste is the same, some nice touch of pecan, very malty, caramel, some floral hops.
Aftertaste is hoppy, with light chocolat malts.
Pretty decent offering.

Oct 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Malty aroma, can smell pecans just slightly a little nuttiness. Nice copper color, white head. Metallic flavor to it, a little malty. Not much to it.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours copper with a one finger fizzy tan head. The nose is malty, kind of cornish, a little nutty, not too appealing but not as offsetting as I expected. The flavor is malty, also nutty, a tad sweet, some metallic hoppy bitterness. The palate is a tad crisp doesnt offer much. Not as disgusting as I expected.
