Dec 13, 2006 Aroma: moderate hop aroma from dry hopping or late kettle additions of American hop varieties. A citrusy hop character moderately high maltiness balances and masks the hop presentation, and shows a moderate caramel character. Esters moderate
Appearance: coppery brown in color. Moderately large off-white head with good retention. Flavor: Moderate to high hop flavor from American hop varieties, which often but not always has a citrusy quality. Malt flavors are moderate to strong, and usually show an initial malty sweetness followed by a moderate caramel flavor (and sometimes other character malts in lesser amounts). Malt and hop bitterness are usually balanced and mutually supportive. Fruity esters can be moderate to none. Caramel sweetness and hop flavor/bitterness can linger somewhat into the medium to full finish. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body. Carbonation moderate to high. Overall smooth finish without astringency often associated with high hopping rates. Stronger versions may have a slight alcohol warmth.
Overall Impression: Like an American pale ale with more body, more caramel richness, and a balance more towards malt than hops (although hop rates can be significant).

Jul 23, 2007 This is like the Summer Ale but with some more maltiness and more frothy. Thought the flavor was very good - a good mix between a lighter ale and a darker beer like a porter.

Jun 15, 2009 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.

Jan 15, 2005 Bottle. Stop the presses. I have found the most perfect session beer! Amber body with a one finger off white head. Nice dry spicy nose. Smells like apples and nuts. Notes of spice, banana, bubblegum, malt, and light cherry come through. Great clean finish. This is an excellent beer for any occasion.
