Rating #600. Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Pours a very pretty amber color, but has no head. Light sweet hoppy aroma. Flavor is mily hoppiness, followed by some malt characteristics. Definitely drinakble & very "sessionable," but nothing to write home about.

Highly drinkable. Would make for a great session beer. Has a bite that belies its somewhat muted, though pleasing, aroma. Nicely crafted beer.

Clear auburn pour supporting a medium light khaki head with average lacing. Primarily malty aroma with some astringent element. Flavor of toasted malt, a little caramel, pine and hops. Finish was somewhat dry and slightly bitter. Nothing special here but not a bad beer.

Initial malty, mildly hoppy aroma that diminished very quickly. Clear deep amber color with a frothy tan head that lasted for several minutes and left medium lacing. Flavor was well balanced slightly in favor of bitterness and a mellow spicy "British" hop flavor and slight roasty notes. Slight diacetyl was a nice addition to the flavor. Aftertaste was a good mix of malt, bitterness and hop flavor. Lively carbonation and medium/light body with a fairly dry finish.

very rich malty aroma consostong of caramel and yeast tones and a nice hint of hops. Poured a rich amber color with a thin white head and decent retention. Unfortunatly i found the flavor rather mild. It had nice malt tones and a slightly bitter hop edge. Flavor seemed good, but watered down. It was the one dow side to this beer.

Pours dark amber with a nice lingering head. Smells of bread and flowers. Taste is slightly citrussy with chocolate and caramel present.

Hoppy Aroma No sighting of the beer since I drank it from a brown bag on Venice Beach - quite a surreal experience I might add. Hoppy and fruity tastenotes, apricot, dont get much barrelflavor, a bit vanilla. Light body, sparkly mouthfeel.
