via trade with IrishBoy - Pours a clear deep amber color with a nice off white head. Has a light grassy hop aroma. Has a smooth caramel malt flavor. Medium body. A pleasant beer. Thanks Richard.

1 pint .6 oz bottle. Poured an amber color with a very thin, white head. Aroma was very sweet of hops and a little cirtus background. Flavor again was sweet and not bitter at all, not what I expected but nonetheless it was good. Went great with fried chicken though! :D

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus. Flavor is sweet, caramel, with a mild hops in taste. Good beer.

22 ounce bomber shared with grant. Earthy, slight pine hop aroma that is definitely pleasant. Some sweet, toffee-like aromas are also detected. Transparent copper color with a creamy, off-whitish head. Long-lasting, with nice lacing. Attractive. Peppery, slightly spicy hops to start, turning malty and a bit caramelly. Some chewy nuttiness and graininess. Nice maltiness to this with a tasty sweetness. Nice. This is really drinkable stuff. Highly recommended. Great session beer.

Bottled. Very malty with slight roasted carmel or nuts type flavors. Not a huge tasting beer, but smooth and easy to drink. Low in alcohol so you could have a few of these and not be trashed.

Bought at Vons Supermarket!! Wow its cool to live in California. Aroma is malts and roasted nuts. Flavor is the same, loads of malts, oranges and a slight smokey hint. Lots of carbonation and refreshing.

12 oz bottle, via IrishBoy. Pours a clear copper colored body under a very small, very fizzy off-white head that disappeared quickly. Alot of visible carbonation. Aroma is of toasted and caramel malts with a light hoppy dryness. Flavor is fairly light with some fruitiness on the finish. Lighter notes of toffee, iced tea, a little malty sweetness. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied, and had a ton of fizzy carbonation. Overall, not the most exciting beer, but it was drinkable.

Really clear amber color with a head that dissipates quickly. No lacing. The aroma reminds me of a wheat beer, banana esters, maize, and offset by some carmel notes. Taste is similiar with notes of citrus and a yeasty bite. Not much of a bitter aftertaste. Not too impressed with this beer, but not bad on a warm afternoon.
