A light amber colored beer with a nice big fluffy head that just does not go away. Nose is fruity with yeast. Flavor is fruit, hops and spice. Bitterness grows as the beer warms. This is a truly enjoyable beer. The fruit is very nice and it keeps you guessing with a multi faceted personality.

Has a nice red/amber color and a fair aroma of malt. Has a nice even flavor of caramel with some fruitiness and a hint of bitterness. A really nice example of the style.

Pours a deep amber color w/ a good head on it’s shoulders. Good head retention and lacing. Smells like rotten feet. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Big malt body w/ abundant hop bittering. Fruity caramel and leather. The finish is bittered rather strongly. A decent brew.

Looking at the other ratings, this must be a pretty inconsistent beer. Mine poured a generous white bubbly head on top of a hazy orange brew. Cloudier than it looked in the bottle. Biscuity romas of malt, peach, apricot, and oolong tea. Solid, if a bit thin on the taste. Easy to drink, but nothing exciting.
