Draught from the brewpub poured into sampler - Pours red amber; Floral hops and malt to the nose; Lots of floral hops and malt on the initial taste; A little grassy backtaste; Medium palate; Pleasant carbonation; Had a light warming sensation as it went down. Not a bad bitter at all.

On tap at the brewpub, 4/9/06: Dark amber with a reddish tinge and a thin foam top that settles quickly. Not much aroma, but a nice malt/hop balance and a very light bitterness. Pretty fun beer.

Has a light copper appearance with a slight white colored head - little bit of trailing lace. Has a bit of a malty aroma to it. Smooth finish - decent bitter for a brewpub.
