Nose is malty and crisp with lots of caramel, light flowery notes, hints of buttered bread, light grassiness and light spice. Taste was nicely malted and sweet with lots of caramel, buttery notes, some grassiness, light earth notes and dried fruits. Body is creamy and smooth with moderate carbonation. Finishes with more sweet malts, caramel, flowers and spicy fruitiness. Pretty good! Complimented my meal and dessert very well! Braudog (3789), Dayton, Ohio, USA

Lightly toasty finish, with almost an orange bite. Bit sweet than anticipated. Reattempted in February 07 -- big cookie dough aroma wafting from this clear light red beer. Very doughy, caramel candied, malty. BrewDad (2393), Olympia, Washington, USA

Ruby caramel in color, light head. Fruity malty nose with malt and light hops, the flavor is sweet and bitter and very balanced. This was a very nice beer.
