Commercial Description:
Copper amber in color, this medium bodied ale has a great balanced flavor. A fruity spicy hop finish compliments in malty caramel taste. Think of English pale ale dry hopped with German Tettnang hops. This ale was made to sustain you during the long New England winter.

A great BBC brew, as always. Pours a red-orange amber with a light cream-colored head. I disagree with rocbyter’s statement that the hops outweigh the malts. I feel like they’re fairly well balanced with the hops coming out in the aftertaste. Not overly complex.

Citrus hops out power the malts in this one but not by much. Cloudy dark orange color with a small whitish head. Tangy malt start finishing with a light citrus hop flavor.

On draft at Cambridge Common. Trying hard to support the local guys, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I didn’t get much of a caramel flavor at all. Truth be told, I didn’t get much flavor at all. It looked like apple cider or powdered iced tea and unfortunately it didn’t have much more complexity than either. Thin head, but a nice brown color. I’d try it again if I saw it offered. I’d love to blame it on the venue, but the guys at Cambridge Common always take care of business, so I doubt it was that.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a hazy caramel amber color with a thin layer of alabaster bubbles, more so around the edges. Aroma is of bread and rich malts. Taste is of rich malts, citrus, caramel, light grassy hops and earthy notes. Ample carbonation, crisp and medium bodied. Ending is of bread and grassy hops notes.

Tap. Pours a lightly amber color without much of a head. Nose is malt and winter fruit. Flavor is light and fruity, almost fresh apple cider purchased at the supermarket. It is light with some sweetness, but the flavors are very pleasent.

Dark amber color with a decent cream head. Aroma is a little sweet with some dustiness. Flavor is almost old, nothing fresh about it. Kinda heavy and bland.

A beautiful cloudy dark orangy amber color. Nice malty (almost pumpkin) aroma with a very clean and easy malty taste. Perfect as a winter beer as the alcohol is just high enough to warm you. Citrusy aftertaste.
