A hazy amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is mostly alcoholic, but with some notes of hops. The flavor is sweet hoppy - from a good hop sort - giving it grapefruit notes, is it Cascade? The alcohol also shows its presence with a slight metal note, leading to a dry end. Nice.

Beautiful amber color. Excellent malt aroma, with fruity and resinous hops. Malty and hoppy taste, resinous and fruity. May I say balanced for my taste? Anyway, it’s well brewed. Excellent.

Sample courtesy of egajdzis (thanks!). This one is on tap at Eric’s basement and he was kind enough to bring a sample over to our mid-week tasting. Keg dated from February 2003. Poured a medium amber/copper color with a small sized off white head. Aromas and tasets of light vanilla, caramel, and some woodiness to it. Some hops present. Light alcohol bite.

2003. Cloudy light orange-copper pour assists to the formation of a rather large off-white head. Heavily malty nose comes out both biscuity and candyish with underlying earthiness and potent floral, fruity, orangey and highly vegetal hops. In mouth, this vegetal character disturbs me a bit, but the oakiness brings it a sense of elegance. Slick medium-full body, rather tannic and not too sweet. Thanks Eric!
