12oz bottle. deep orange color, big tan colored foamy head. aroma of caramel malts, nice combination of English and PNW hops. woody and floral. Flavor is a bit aged. Very dry flavor. Nice toffee note. Crisp bitterness in the finish. I would love to sample the draft version of this beer as well.

Bottle thanks to BMan1113VR. Nice amber colored pour with red highlights and a small to medium sized soapy off white head. Nose is citrus and hops. English hops that is! Some toasted malt. Taste is about the same with nice caramel and kind of sour acidic finish. Very serviceable.

Bottle. Pours with a hazy amber body and an off-white head that goes quickish. Aroma is slightly hoppy with some citrus and subdued British hops, some malts too. Taste is malt strong with a light malt background. Sharpish bubblees and dry mouthfeel.

Deep clean amberish pour. LIght hops and malt on the nose. Sweet fruity malt back bone with just enough bitter to make it nice. A bit foamy on a medium bodied beer. Very nice offering that is just a hint away from being excellent.

Reddish-brown, amber hue with thin head. Hoppy, floral notes on the nose with a bit of honey. Somewhat malty intro with mild carbonation, smooth mouthfeel and some sweetness followed by a pleasant bitter finish. Nice beer. I’m looking forward to being able to buy this in Louisiana.

Music City Brewer’s Fest 2008. Clear light amber with a medium off-white head. Very nice malty citrus aroma. Well balanced flavor, nice dryness towards the finish.

Thanks to texasbartender for this beer. Pours a deep amber color with a thin tan head. Great malt nose with some good English hops aromas. Flavor is strong malt and hops up front...very nice, but it does finish a bit weak with too much fizz. Mouthfeel is not bad either. Really a pretty good beer that border on above average, but just misses. Thanks Kevin!

Kinda funny pale ale. Initial flavor was nice but then it dissipates to nothing. A bit watery. Start out strong but finished weak. Not much head. Pretty average but not terrible.
