Jul 26, 2004 Medium bodied amber ale. Medium head. Aroma is dark fruit, malts and touches of molasses. A medium bodied amber. Malts are fruity and sweet, touches of molasses. Hops are slightly spicy and grapefruity. Fairly smooth tasting. Nicely balanced. A little hoppier than your typical amber, but its still a typical amber. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Jul 20, 2004 Tap. I dont see why this is a special brew that they built marketing around. A dead-average amber without any significant flavors, that leaves me struggling for much of a description.

Jul 15, 2004 Dark ruby red body, nice white head. Caramel and maltiness are the dominant flavors. Beer is somewhat sweet. Not the greatest amber, not the worst. Better than Fat Tire.

Jul 13, 2004 Pours a deep amber red with a large off white rocky head with fair lacing. Nice malty aroma. Some roast, a little bit of warm biscuits. Just a slight hint of hops in the nose. Well balanced malt bill. The roasts blend in nicely with the base malts and the biscuit is back again with a mellow backing. There is just a whisper of hops in the flavor that makes it very balanced. Slight pepperyness to it. Thin body and a malty, creamy palate. Finishes off with a lick of bitterness.

Jul 6, 2004 Nice color with an cream colored head. Not a ton of aroma, hints of malt. Light flavors of malt and with a touch of hops. Very watery finish. Not one of their best.

Jul 6, 2004 malty - but not a lot of character. balanced towards the sweet side - could use some hops or something to offset it. nothing really stands out. very average micro-macro brew amber.

Jun 30, 2004 A fairly thick sticky head with some good retention and lacing properties. The aroma has some light pineapple and some earthy crystal malts. The flavor is watery, boring. Finishes with a touch of dry astringency and a light nutty body and mouthfeel. Not even thought provoking.

Jun 26, 2004 Pours with an average, creamy head, leaves some decent lacing; roasted caramel malt aroma, no hops detected; some toasted malt flavor, a bit watery, but somewhat flavorful, not much hopping, slightly dry finish; needs more hops, and body.....a mild brew from an otherwise outstanding brewery.
