From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear ad golden orange with a small white head. Subdued malty and light hoppy aroma. Flavour is crisp bitter and distinct malt flavoured. Light breadish and roasted touch. Ends bitter and lasting malty flavoured.

On tap in Orange, CA. Clear dark gold, very subdued sweet flavors. Not quite the red/amber ale that I’d been expecting.

On tap. Clear amber golden with a small off-white head. Sweetish, caramellish nose. Medium body, again sweet - and perhaps lightly burned - caramel with a dry, lightly bitter finish. 050709

Nice earthy malt flavors, brownish tan and just a little coudy., I would be hard pressed to call this a pale ale as there is minimal hop influence even at the end. A nice beer but maby more in the direction of an Alt. Nice Lacing as in several of their beers

tap in Indy - Pours amber and laces nicely. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with light hops. It’s light bodied and overall too bland once again. So far that’s an unfortunate trend for the brewery, but it is significantly better than the blonde ale and wheat I had before it.

Tap at Anaheim. Pours a translucent amber with a medium creamy off white head that laced. Aroma of caramel, toffee and mixed citrus. Flavor of caramel, toffee, grapefruit, pine and ligtly toasted malt.

On tap at the Alcatraz location in Anaheim, CA. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, a little floral, and toasty. Tastes of caramel, toasted grains, and a little nutty. Body was on the lively side and slightly fizzy side.

Pours a light red color with an off white head. Aroma was some sweet malt and thats about it. Flavor was very weak and watery, a hint of hops and malt, just bad
