On draught at the brewpub, adjacent to the brewery in Cave Creek, AZ. Pours a clear light copper amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, a touch of citrus and some apple juice. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with a caramel and apple malt flavor with just a hint of citrus zest. Finish is slightly bitter with a sweet caramel aftertaste.

Pours a nice amber color...and thats it. No head, no lacing, no aromas, no bitterness, no malt character....extremely bland, except for that bad taste it leaves in your mouth. Not good at all! Bad actually!

12 oz. bottle part of a mixed 12er from my brother in Mesa - Pours a clear amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Head fades pretty quick. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is a toasted malt with a touch of diacetyl. Flavor is much of the same. Medium body. Worth a try, I guess.

At Black Mountain brewpub. Light amber in color with no head. Faint sweet malt aroma in the nose. Light bodied, with a touch of carbonation and sweet malt flavors. Boring and weak.

Bottle poured a nice dark amber with very little head or lacing. Aroma is all malt and very sweet. Flavor is sweet malt with maybe just a hint of hops. Finishes with a metalic, very bland aftertaste.

Aroma is like candy, sweet licorice. Amber body no head to speak of, bland other than body color. Sweet malty flavor that is dry on the finish. Man I would want something more refreshing than this on a hot Az summer day.

The beer pours a nice golden amber color with a modest head and pertinent lace to cover the glass. The nose is all malt, crisp fresh and clean, quite pleasant to sniff. Sweet at the start, top skinny, and the finish stinging it its acidic bite, the hops adequate, dry and lingering aftertaste, a drinkable beer and one suited for these hot climes.
