Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

Sampled many times. Pours brown with a light amberness and has a good solid head on it. Drinks crisp and goes down nicely. A very high quality amber.

Pours clear amber with a medium beige head, fine lasting lacing. Smells of caramel, bubblegum, banana and biscuit. Medium-thin body, smooth, mildly dry and crisp. Flavors of caramel, biscuit, apple, banana, citrus, with a slight mineral character. A light citrus and grass finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a good size beige head. Flavor and aroma are much the same: sweet caramel, malts. Very light on both counts. Not bad.

Pours a lovely amber with a solid head that has OK retention and delivers decent mouthfeel. It smells very malty with no hint of the hops. Has a lovely, smooth malty flavor. Little hop flavor.

Had on tap at BW3 in Pueblo, CO. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is sweet malts, fruit, and some earthyness. Flavor is sweet malts, nuts, caramel, and a bit or yeast and earthyness. Pretty easy drinker. Nothing complex.

Amber with fluffy off white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet malt, fruit, and some musty notes. Taste is same, some earthy tones. Light to medium body, some light bitter notes in the finish. Good, easy to drink, easy to find.

One of the best beers that is VERY commonly available. A great basic amber. Flavors are subdued, but good tasting overall. No noticeable hop flavor good or bad.
