Commercial Description:
Deep red amber colored, full-bodied, with a residual malt sweetness and hoppy flavor. This is an all-around Brew Works favorite. A great Yeungling “Lager” alternative. This british style ale contains a special blend of Cluster, Fuggle, and East Kent Golding hops.

Evenly balanced, touch of earthy maltiness, leading to a dryish finish.

On tap at the Bethlehem Brew Works Brew Pub. Poured a medium copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel malts, light flowers and a little fruity. Medium sweet. Better than I expected since being billed as a ’great Yeungling Lager alternative’.

Draft at the Bethlehem brewery. Nearly perfectly clear with a burnt dark amber colored body and a burnt reddish purple (in low light) layer of cask-like foam with large bubbles floating on top, speckled. Faint nose of buttered toast and slightly sweet berries. More sweet berries and cedar wood tasted, some nuts and pine and burnt white bread toast as well. Sweet and moderately hoppy, I could see drinking a few of these.

On tap at the brewpub, July 2006. Their Cassis Lambic seemed pretty authentic to me and this one was equally, so - very English. In fact, I thought it was the most English-tasting beer I had tried in nearly a month in the US. Attractive, bright copper colour. Strong dusty, robust hop presence with a great earthy bitterness. Chewy, fruity malt too. Excellent balance. Very nice indeed.

This is a flagship beer for BBW, and it is excellent. A nice deep reddish/amber color. Very hopped, with less sweetness and more bitterness than pales and IPAs. It's like Yeungling lager on steroids. I took a growler of this to go. Delicious.

Nice dark amber colour with nutty nose. Fresh malt and mild hoppiness in the mouth, which blended well.
