On draft at Beaver Street. Pour was full amber colored body with some copper hues. Head was nice off-white, provided excellent almost continuous lacing all the way down with some ring patterns in there. The aroma was caramel, toffee, some piney-citrusey notes, but certainly not strong. Flavor followed the aroma, nice bitter resinous bite at the end of each sip, only gentle floral and citrusey touches behind it all, more bittering hops than any flavors. The mouthfeel was quite nice, slightly creamy for the style, a decent sipper (in a somewhat unimpressive style for me) on a beautiful sunny afternoon in Flagstaff.

Aug 20, 2008 Smell is citrus, hops, and malts. Look is clear straw colored with a nice white head. Taste is sweet, caramel, smooth, with a good balance of malts and hops. Good overall.

Sep 17, 2002 Medium gold color. Nicely malty, and smooth. Milder flavor. Nice hop balance. Mouthfeel is smooth and full. Smooth taste and flavor, reminiscent of English Ales (DUH!) Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is slightly malty.
