Amber, unfiltered, remnants floating about. Mild aroma..malt..a little fruit hop. Taste: a little hop bite and many mild malts. Nice body. Unusual, but very drinkable.

Oct 11, 2008 On draft at a little dump of a bar in Chicago. Amber and caramel color, with frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, a little hops, and some light fruit (apples?). Taste of sweet malt and again the apples, a bit cider-ish. Light/medium body and quenching, with good carbonation. Pretty good!

Oct 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a caramel color with a nice off-white head. Aroma was malty, with some toffee notes as well. Flavor was similar, with toffee and sweet malt being the strongest aspects. I liked this a lot, very drinkable.

Oct 9, 2008 Cloudy orange light brown pour - nicde offwhite head that left pretty quickly. Awesome mouthfeel - taste - nice balance of hops and malt - a little sweet but offset by the hops. Good drink but not awesome. Might be the flagship by Bells - but it is not my fav by them.
Very Drinkable - great prep for my #100.

Oct 1, 2008 Light red pour, whitish head. Sweet malt, some pine aromas. Malt and toffee flavors throughout, little raisin or something green fruit. Nice bittering hops through the finish. Well balanced and drinkable, but nothing outstanding. One of Bell’s more sessionable ales.
