Jun 1, 2006 12oz bottle. Clear and golden red. Layer of white head. Mild citrus hop nose. Medium and rather tasty. Balanced and smooth. Caramel malt note. Also honeyish. Melon taste from the hops. Nothing special, but I did enjoy the malt character and the balanced that it contributed to the brew.

May 13, 2006 12 oz bottle: poured cloudy orange brown with yeast particles. Earthy, hoppy aroma. Flavor is moderately bitter and earthy and quite carbonated. Somewhat grainy but still a decent beer IMHO.

May 12, 2006 Poured a two-hued dark/medium amber with a massive, frothy khaki-colored head thanks to the gushing bottle opening. Flowery, slightly citrisy aroma, mainly dominated by grainy wheat and straw. Flavor is astrigent, grainy rye, barley, pumpernickel, and old caramel candy - a mishmash of flavors that don’t really jive. Bottle seems old, but if Arcadia doesn’t actually mark the stupid bottles with the bottling/best-by date, who is to know if the bottle is old or if the beer is simply no-good to begin with?

May 12, 2006 This tastes soapy. Really soapy. Bitter and flowery too. Really thick head. Very watery. The taste isn’t too bad but there is a funky floral perfume taste that just makes this pretty odd.

Apr 18, 2006 not on par with the bell’s two hearted as one of the area’s best pale ales, but a worthy effort nonetheless.

Apr 8, 2006 Dark gold with a thin head and streams of bubbles from the sides of the glass. A good aroma of malt with not much of a hint of hops. Actually smells like a college bar. The body is medium and the flavor is slightly malty but, not much else.

Apr 7, 2006 In the bottle. Pours a dark golden color with an ivory head. Beer is quite cloudy from the bottle conditioned yeast content. The head was big and bubbly- it took 2 glasses to contain a 12 oz bottle. The foam remained bizarrely thick with a volcano-like mushroom cloud structure to the end. In fact, it resembled a rolled up condom. Aroma is minimal , but a small hop scent is there. Flavor is smooth and not overtly bitter. In fact it is smooth and mellow for this style.

Mar 19, 2006 Copper body with a white cap. Cotton candy aroma nice flavor that makes me smile. A nice mellow sweetness permeates this. Toffee and something like maple syrup. Finish has a bitter level that compliments the sweet well. I’d like to add more but that sums up this enjoyable beverage I will purchase again.
