Sep 14, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a thin head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malts and nuts. Taste is nutty with caramel, grain and bitter leafy hops. Medium bodied.

Jun 16, 2009 Tap at the brewery 2/2/08: Pours a transparent bright copper with a spotty-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty caramel malt with some mild piny hop notes. Starts fairly full and semi-sweet with a touch of sticky caramel toffee malt flavor and a decent bitter balance toward a drier earthy bittersweet finish.

Jun 8, 2009 Red orange pour with decent white head. Grapefruit and orange in the aroma with hint of caramel in the flavor. Bitter finish but drinkable.

Apr 29, 2009 Clear light orange pour with some head. Weak ass nose with no real aroma. Horribly vegetal flavor. Dreadful. I really hope I had a bad batch, cause this was pretty damn unenjoyable.

Mar 1, 2009 On tap. Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Aromas of grapefruit, almost like potpourri orange peel, and slight caramel. Taste is very well balanced with the English hops and caramel malt. Nice bitter finish. A very good session beer.

Feb 25, 2009 Copper pour with tight white head and lace. Very light caramelly aroma. Light semi sweet malt flavor with almost no bitter. Night light medium bodied beer with creamy carbonation. Refreshing with a hint of bitter. A tad and just a tad more hop presence would have really set this beer off for me.

Dec 28, 2008 This one won a Gold medal at the 2006 GABF and it shows. Far more flavor is packed into this beer than your average Amber ale. Pours a light coppery amber with a medium frothy white head. Lacing is decent, but not overly impressive. Has an amply bitter finish that rises in the tail end of the swallow with an aggressive attack. Good solid caramel malt underpinning. Hops are earthy. A little bit of chocolate malt provides complexity.

Jul 28, 2008 Draft. Clear, copper color. Minimal aroma of caramel malts and a touch of bitterness. Similar flavor, malt forward with a bit of a hoppy finish. Has an interesting yeast flavor that’s hard to describe. The clean finish and mouthfeel make this a decent session beer and one of the better ones from a brewery that’s disappointed me from time to time.
