Apr 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle. The ale surged out. Amber color with a two finger off-white head. Wonderful floral hop aroma - I’m in England. Medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is more caramel malt than hop, but there is nearly enough bitter in the finish to remedy that. It’s really good, and it might fit ESB or Strong Ale across the pond.

Apr 17, 2008 Tasted at the brewery in Battle Creek. Warm sweetness that stands up well to a malty backbone.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours amber with a light, fine, white head. Aroma is lightly grapey, fruity smell. Flavor is sweet with tropical, grapey flavors. Not bad, not great either.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottled. Pours reddish-brown with a large off white head. Lacking much aroma, a little alcohol and not much else. Watery, with a tinge of citrus. Can vaguely taste roasted malt. Aftertaste is of soap. Not that tasty.

Mar 12, 2008 Pours hazy and gushing. Uh-oh. Looks like a Belgian ale. murky brown with a giant head. Fruity caramel CO2 aroma. Rather bitter, somewhat earthy, a little fruity, slightly watery, mildly hoppy. Not well realized.

Feb 24, 2008 This one poured with a garnet color and a long lasting "dirty" brown head of pillow like nature. The carmel malt was toasty with the sweet caramel (of course) flavor and hint of chocolate and raisin. The hops were on the verge of grassy, but remained "clear" and gave a good finish. I’d have another.

Feb 21, 2008 Clear amber-brownish copper color with a lasting 1/2" frothy head and nice stringy lacing. Aroma is woody with a delicate mix of grassy and toasted malt. Medium bodied with a creaminess that finishes watery and bitter. Burnt caramel and toffee flavors backed up by some toast and grassy, bittering hops. This beer soon grew overly bitter and bland, not too far off from the style.
