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.

One of my all-time favorites. Discovered it on a Princess Cruise/Land Tour of Alaska in 2005. Loved it so much I lugged two cases back to Florida with me. Amber color with lots of caramel and malt, with some faint spice. Very smooth and easy to drink. Love it. Wish I could find it in Florida.

12oz bottle-pours a disappearing off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-some light caramel, grain, faint spice-hops. Taste is medium malt-some light caramel, grain, equal flat/spice-hops. Nice for my taste a bit over hopped if I was rating to style. OK carbonation.

Bottle, pours pale gold, almost like a pilsener. Thin white head, also like a pils. Faint caramel aroma. Full malty body with some spiciness and much bitterness. An all over the tongue finish.

12 Oz Pour. A gentle breeze of salty caramel wafts forth, with a touch of banana and not much else. Pouring a clear ruddied orange, the beer springs forth a rocky wheat-colored rim. Flavor touches the tongue with a unique palate and a bit of dark malt flavor. There almost seems to be some carob, or smoked wheat, or burnt toffee. Sugars seemed really subdued, glassy and glazed over. Inaccessible. Caramels ooze forth a bit, but restrain themselves. Plastic. A bubble of ester gum and yeast byproducts captures the backend, leaving an almost rotten hop character behind. Light bitterness over stale chocolate don’t make it a particularly suave drinker. Banana heat warms the middles and fades into the glassine sugar-water. Not particularly exciting.

Clear amber color with a small white head. Apple juice and black pepper in the aroma. Appley taste with a hint of caramel and maybe some more black pepper. Simple and light but very good for what it is.

Amber color with a small head. Aroma was sweet & bready, but put me off a bit. Taste was somewhat sweet and gingerbread-like, but I wasn’t really getting in to this beer. Could have been better.

tap... came out a clear ruby red with little to no head. Sweet malty aroma, flavors of malt, caramel and something else sweet that reminded me of twizzlers. Not enough hop backing as I would hope.

Very malty. Not hoppy. Makes a good quenching beer that does not turn bad when it gets warm. I should buy this more often for friends who want to start to venture out of the swill.
