Commercial Description:
A full-flavored ale brewed with a blend of choice malts. This beer is very well balanced with a clean hoppy finish.

Very sweet. Amber of course, and cloudy. Butterscotch aroma and flavor, with underwhelming dried fruit in the flavor. A very good amber. Fairly heavy.

Malty aroma, with plenty of caramel sweetness and breadiness and earthiness, along with some faintly fruity hop. Strangely, this aroma would not be out of place on a doppelbock. Medium red-amber color, clear, with a creamy head. Malty, rounded profile, with caramel and brown sugar sweetness, met by a small amount of leafy, vegetative hops at the finish. Hint of carrot-y flavor(?!). Lingering malt sweetness with low bitterness overall. Easy-drinking.

Good full-bodied amber colored ale. Refreshing after hiking in Yosemite all day. Enjoyed this in the world famous Awhanee Hotel in Yosemite - perfect setting.

Very slight citrus aroma, but a strong hops flavor. Very pretty reddish-brown color. Nice beer.

(12oz bottle, 8/7/05) Dunno about being retired, it was a new beer in the cooler at the Brick. My guess is that someone else is brewing it now. Hazy copper body topped by medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, butterscotch, floral, raisin, caramel, light grapefruit. Taste is sweet, caramel, floral, light raisin. Light-medium body, some stickiness. On a personal note, hard to believe my rating is the same as it was five years ago (pre-Ratebeer). (6/3/5/3/11)

Tasting Notes from Fall 2000: Not very complex, fairly smooth with mild bitterness. So-so, but nice and cool on a warm day. (5/3/6/3/11)

A good ale as ales go, nice malt nose and a fair hop spicy finish. Very drinkable and a palate pleaser.
