aroma of fresh barley- - red in color with a thin white head good lacing- caramel notes without being sweet- lingerling hops that dry out the palate- almost a slight spicyfinish- good beer that presents a different taste with each sip- nice presentation- would drink again

Looks great. Not much aroma. This is nice- a pretty even balance of malts and hops in this. A dry finish. Good stuff.

This amber ale poured with a nice off-white head that lasted a while. There is a slightly sweet and fruity full caramel malt flavor with just enough hopping.to produce a tangible bitterness at the finish. Not the best best beer from this brewer, but worth a taste.

Sampled 10/15/08. This amber ale pours a deep amber color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with nice retention and decent retention. The aroma is malty, fruity with some hops. A medium bodied amber. The malts are caramely and not too sweet. A touch of fruitiness as well. The hops are fairly forward and somewhat piney. It not your typical sweet mess of malt amber, it seems to have some hops, malt character and body. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Bottle courtesy of scrizzz. Pours a pretty clear deep red with a small white head. Flavor of sweet malt and light fruits. Flavor is light with nice fruitiness. Also a light spiciness that is really tasty. Definitely the best organic beer I’ve had (it’s a short list, but still). Nice amber with a spicy kick.
