Apr 11, 2009 Esters full on the nose: dusty and earthy with fresh toasted bread crust and slightly moldy (but good). Fresh, bright, slightly sweet up front but turns sour and tart in the finish, not good. Moderately frothy texture over the middle but falls apart in the finish.

Apr 2, 2009 Pours a light brown, similar to weak coffee. Strong beige head leaves plenty of tracing behind. Unfortunately it looks a bit like a rootbeer float. Sweet smelling with a slight note of malt. Caramel in taste, light hops, ends with a slight bitter finish. Good daily beer to have on hand.

Apr 1, 2009 Bottle from Pizza Port bottle shop: Fruity aroma of banana and pear with a sweet base of malts. Poured thick fluffy foam while the ale was a standard color of brown. The flavor was also a fruity taste with a strong yet pleasant amount of sweetened malt presence. This was a bolder attempt at the brown ale style but I doubt I could have made this a session beer, and I think one twelve ounce bottle was enough to get an idea of this beer.

Mar 25, 2009 This is now the 5th one I’ve consumed (out of a 6-pack)... pours a nice rust-brown color with a coarse tan head that leaves behind some sticky lacing. Aromas are pretty light, but hint at caramel, roasted grains, and a bit of nuttiness. The flavors are much more intense--more caramel malt and roasted grain, a slight hint of some acidic, earthy, green-tasting hops. The mouthfeel was pretty light-to-medium-bodied but that made it more drinkable. Good stuff, but not the best brown ale ever.

Mar 24, 2009 Color is a bright amber with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Aroma is a sweet toasted caramel scent. Taste is sweet and hoppy. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down crisp with a sweetness coming on. Finish come out with a light caramel sweetness some floral hop flavors then just a faint touch of bitterness. After taste is more candy sweetness rolling over what little bitterness there was. Its like drinking one of those candy necklaces. Overall its just too sweet and unbalanced.

Mar 24, 2009 $6 six pack on sale (score). Brown-red in color and translucent. Short white head that relaxes into bubbles. Smells like a standard brown, malty. Tastes like an english beer, not bad at all. This is a pretty good beer but I am no expert when it comes to brown ales.
