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.

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.

Feb 9, 2008 Clever name and a sharp label. It pours a slightly hazy amber body with a substantial head that laces heavily. The aroma is all about the PNW hopping - grapefruit, pine, citrus zest - although faint traces of sweet caramel eke out from time to time. There’s just a bit more malt in the flavor to support the hops, slightly weakening their impact but maintaining a solid level of bitterness that lasts long into the finish. Nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Cellars, Franklin, WI<font size=-1>

Apr 22, 2007 Amber color with a taller canvas colored head. For as big as the bubbles are the head is quite lasting. Better than average amber aromas, as this one has a hops presence. Mildly toasted malt seems to have a backstage to the full hops nose. Mild pine and citrus abound in this amber. As the bottle states a west coast amber, and I would have to agree. Very lightly toasted malt in the flavor as well along with plenty of citrus peels and light pine pitch. Very dry in the finish. The hops seem a bit green at times, but still a nice amber.
