The_Sponge (162), Lynnwood, Washington, USA Apr 1, 2008 1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a nice amber color (duh) with minimal head. Flavor: Very smooth, with mild hops and just the right amout of malt. There’s also a hint of hazelnut.
m4rest88 (69), Beverly Hills, California, USA Oct 10, 2008 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! Edgekrusher (58), , Alabama, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottled. Very Drinkable. Not a bad beer. Small head and very little hop aroma. BlackForestCO (549), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Sep 30, 2008 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. iowaherkeye (1413), relocated to Santa Rosa f/Iowa, California, USA Sep 25, 2008 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. Gypsy19 (219), AMERICA RISING, USA Sep 17, 2008 A neutral, pleasant ale of marginal hoppiness and malt, slight fruitiness. Nothing really stands out, but very smooth and drinkable.
