Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

Bottle; thin white head atop a bright amber body with some sediment. Aroma is of sweet honey, berries, toasted lager malts, bready, and slight fig and prune. Flavor has mellow caramel throughout, some toasty malts, slightly fruity, bready, and mildly citric. Palate is comforting as well with a smooth light carbonation and buttery finish.

On tap at a local restaurant. Pours amber with a medium off-white head. Medium aroma of caramel and biscuit. Flavor is sweet caramel, honey, and biscuit with a touch of raisin and hops. A little too much sweetness. Not bad overall.

Quite drinkable, although milder than I was thinking it would be when I picked it up at the store. Quite enjoyable.

Pours a cloudy copper color with amber hues when held to a light source and a one finger foamy white head that settles quickly into a lasting ring. Very little in the way of lacing. Bland aroma with a balance of caramel malt and floral hops. Not much else to speak of. Very hop forward with a nice caramel malt backbone and slight crisp fruit. The hops dominate this beer and linger all the way through over the malt backbone and subtle light fruit notes in to a bitter dry finish.

Bottle. Pours amber (duh) with white head. Some lacing, very drinkable ale with sweet caramel taste and slight hop taste. Very good could polish off the whole sixer in a day.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a white head. Aroma is that of sweet malt. Flavor has a nice clean hop character to it, touch of honey. Overall it’s decent, but goes downhill as it warms so don’t leave this in the glass too long.
