Sweet, smoky and especially brown sugar aroma. Moderately hazy dark copper color with quickly dissipating light tan head. Smooth start with sweet middle, finishing with a smokey caramel malt finish with a small hop kicker. An enjoyable amber.

Nice copper-amber color and just a tad hazy...head is moderate frothy off-white with lingering lace. This has a complex malty aroma with light floral hop presence--quite inviting. The flavor is nicely rounded, well-balanced between malts and the assertive hop profile that features slightly fruity overtones. The finish is slightly dry with loitering malt flavors that hint of caramel. This is a most drinkable spring brew--but one whose character reflects the winter just past rather than the summer on the forward horizon. This is very nicely balanced and with a most interesting combination of flavors and aromas.

I actually found this one to be quite enjoyable. Medium bodied and refreshing. This could be my new session beer. Pours a light brown color with a small tan head, that leaves behind some really creative lacing. Flavor is toffee and bread with some caramel and just enough hoppiness to have a bit of bite and character. Tasty.

"An unfiltered ale" it says on the label. It looks unfltered, as it is cloudy, amberish and withj little head. Lace is spotty. Aroma? I get hops. Taste is hoppy right up front, albeit with a semi-strong malt backbone riding on a mouthfeel which is a touch week. Finishes biscuity and drily. Nice beer.

Copper amber color. Hazy. The hops and malts blend well in this beer. A little bit of caramel flavor in the finish. Also a bit fruity.
