Commercial Description:
This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It’s malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. A cool beer for the heat, whatever your latitude!

A hazed reddish amber ale with a thick creamy light moka head. A rather smooth aroma of vanilla cream and light peated notes. In mouth, a smooth and lightly cloying malt, vanilla/Bailey’s overtones, light cardboard....not my thing.

Pours dark golden to copper with a fully receding off-white head. Notes of phenolic spice, cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar. Medium bodied and slightly sticky with soft carbonation. Seemed a bit messy to me, under-attenuated for a summer beer and the spices weren’t working for me.

Very thirst-quenching, nice head. I like a good cream ale and this works well enough. More biscuity than wheaty, which I liked. That said, the lack of any real bitterness or hop character leave a less than beer-like impression.

Pours hazy copper color with thin off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of sweet bread. Caramel and bread dough flavors with a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Medium body with soft carbonation.

Copper. Off white head. Very biscuity, bready malt and a vanilla-like sweetness with just a touch of bitterness on the end. Nice malty feel, just not my thing. Medium to medium/light body, moderate carbonation. Drinkable summer brew that is a nice change of pace from all the wheats.

Murky amber color with a quick head. Malty, fruity aroma. Drinkable with a light to medium body, surprisingly creamy and filling. Flavor is a mix of malts, spices and hops. Starts sweet-ends dry. Nice summer quencher, very satisfying.

sample glass from the brewery tap. Light amber in the glass. Faded hops and earthy tones in the nose. Flavor mostly runs by you as it goes down. Probably made for the beer drinkers wife. Goes down smooth with not a lot of flavor.
