Jan 16, 2008 Bottled. Dark amber body with a light khaki head. Ginger bread and grapefruit come through in the aroma. Some notes of wool. The taste is strong black tea with some grapefruit. There is also some balance of burnt bread crust and peanut shells. A strong, nutty finish. This is fairly hoppy for an amber.

Jan 6, 2008 Draft pint at Angelic in Madison. Cherry red and rust color. Cherry malt and orange scented hops in the nose, with a fresh and hoppy flavor that is heavy with the crystal malt, dropping off a bit in the finish. An overly hopping amber ale that border on APA/IPA, that would otherwise be called an imperial red if not for the <7% ABV. Very tasty.

Dec 21, 2007 Hazy amber in in colr with a creamy tan head that is somewhat lasting. Nose is balanced with a hoppy profile and note of malt. Palate is medium to full bodied with a solid hop backbone with the malty flavors mingling inbetween. Crisp on the finish making it refreshing paired with the nice body.

Nov 25, 2007 Pouris a ruby red with a thin light tan foamy head. Aroma of grapefruit caramel and pine. Flavor is a bit more caramel with grapefruit, pine needles and just a hint of dough. Somewhat long finish, low carbonation. This is a very good "big" amber ale.

Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a wispy-lacing thin white head. Aroma has a nice fresh grapefruity hoppy presence with good sweet caramel maltiness. Body starts with a nice malty sweetness balanced with good green earthy piny hops and a touch of toasted malt toward a bittersweet finish. A very nice amber.
