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.

Pours with an amber/copper hue with a white head that was mostly diminishing after 2 minutes. Aroma of caramel, malts, some nuts, metal, and some very light hoppiness. I really enjoyed this aroma. Flavor has a sweet beginning with some citrus flavoring along with some other fruits. The end is hoppy. Light-Moderate carbonation with a light body. A decent beer, that I will look for again!

Bottled. Very Drinkable. Not a bad beer. Small head and very little hop aroma.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a thick, rocky off-white head that slowly receded and left some spotty lacing. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel malts, a light metallic aroma, and some light earthy hops. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with a bit of ice tea flavor that leads into a light fruitiness and some soft caramel that transitions into a light noble hoppiness on the finish. Low carbonation and smooth on the palate. Definitely an easy drinker.

22oz bottle, A081908--not sure if this is the bottled on or best by date, purchased from Bottle Barn earlier today. Clear copper amber with a one finger yellowish white head, fair retention. Aroma of fruity, caramel, and toasted malts up front with some metallic notes. Flavor is the same with some light noble hops keeping things from getting too sweet. Bitterness peaks at a 3. Moderate carbonation with a light body. Not too bad--glad I got to finally try it.

A neutral, pleasant ale of marginal hoppiness and malt, slight fruitiness. Nothing really stands out, but very smooth and drinkable.

[1638-20080830] 355mL bottle. Grainy slightly skunky fish malt aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Grainy malt flavour has some weird yeast in it. Medium body. Drinkable, not bad.

Wonderful maltiness, with a flavor of caramel, toffee, and and hint of nuts. Excellent beer. I will select it anytime it is available where I am traveling.

Good cheap microbrew-esque. A solid amber without pretension to be better. Nifty bottle caps.
