Mar 16, 2007 Bottle. Clear amber body. Light toasty malt and leafy hops in the aroma, some berry fruit at the end. A solid cookie and biscuit base with lemon and strawberry leaf hops make up the flavor. Resinous finish. A nicely hoppy amber, good stuff.

Mar 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours to an orange body with a thin fizzy white head. The aroma is quite hoppy. Oranges and pine. The flavor is toasty amber malt and has a chalky amount of hops. The palate is moderate. Drying and minerally. Taste is sort of like unfiltered hop matter.

Feb 21, 2007 WOW !! This stuff is good. Pours a dark red amber with a small white head. Aroma is big citrus and hops. Pine & grapefruit dominate. Flavor is malty with more grapefruit and hops. Also pretty darn dry and bitter in the finish. Why did I only buy one bottle?? DAMN!!!

Feb 12, 2007 12oz bottle, no date. Pours a slightly hazy copper orange with a one finger light beige head. Pine, grapefruit, and toffee are the dominant aromas. There is some light toast and spicy hops as well. Flavor has the same flavors with a little bit of a chalky dirt characteristic. Moderately bitter with the toffee trying to balance this out. Semidry chalky dirt finish. Light to medium bodied, low carbonation. Good beer.

Jan 14, 2007 #985, Bottle at the Champaign-Urbana private tasting held at Radio Maria. Clear copper to amber, no head. Nose is good hoppyness, crisp hoppy, kind of like a strong amber. Taste just about the same. Good .

Dec 31, 2006 Cloudy dark amber. Smell of hops, malt, grapefruit, alcohol, pine, caramel, spice and a hints of flowers. Taste of hops, tons of hops, malt, bread, caramel, gram cracker, pine, orange zest, citrus, rye and spice. This shouldn’t be called an amber ale, but a pale ale or IPA. I have to drive to Madison to get more of this.

Dec 28, 2006 Updated: Feb 24, 2008Aroma is a full carmel malt with a big hop backing,taste is an initial carmel toffee taste,quickly overwhelmed by hop flavor. Body is just a tad on the thin side,but this is much better then most amber ale I have had. rerated this because of outstanding quality of fresh bottle
