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.

Nutmeg and caramel nose. Deep red-copper, minimal head. Full malt sweetness, slow subtle bitterness. Smooth carbonation, finishes fairly clean. Very drinkable and enjoyable beer.

Bottle. I was not a fan of this beer. Pours Amber white 2 finger head quickly diminsishing to this hoppy, fruity alt. Wheat and earthy notes. eh.

Aroma: Banana, faint caramel malts, resiny hops. Not very complex, but interesting. Appearance: Lovely red-rose amber. A crisp, bright, clear color. Very poor retention of a short-lived, recycled paper-colored head. Flavor: Banana flavor comes through, plus a tangy yeast finish that reminds me of a dubbel. Mild, leafy hops and pome-like, fruity hops. Palate: Nicely tinglesome, pleasantly carbonated and not cloying at all. Overall: A versatile session beer that would match well with many foods. Ham and pumpkin pie come to mind.

Pours a light reddish-amber. Aroma is mild and hoppy. Flavor has a smooth, doughy maltiness and some light hops. A nice, easy drinkable beer.

Pours a copper/amber color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is slightly bitter/hoppy but also earthy. Flavor is well-rounded... a combination of caramel hops and earthy, lemony bittering hops. On tap @ Monte Carlo, Las Vegas.
