Bottle at Xmas Eve Eve Eve. Pours gold with soapy white head. The aroma is dark hops, must, butter, seems a little off. The flavor is funky hops, iced tea, and some chemicals. I am not feelin this one.

tronraner’s Xmas Eve Eve Eve Tasting. Sample from a bottle shared by me thanks to unclemike for the trade. Pale orange-red with a thin white head. Aroma is honey and grain. Taste is kinda grainy, mostly toasty malts.

12 oz. shared by lithy at the Christmas gathering. Clear amber with a lasting head and nice lace. Aroma is faint nuts and caramel. Flavor is about the same. Light-medium body is smooth and just dry enough on the finish. Nice little session ale.

It is an ale, and it is amber. I do not know if monkies, flying or otherwise, were involved in this beer creation. but everything else seems accurate. Flavor seems kind of white bread - not bland, but literaly like Wonder Bread or something. Some peppery notes at the finish. Thanks to tronraner at the Maryville tasting.

Sample at the Day Before Labor Day party, thanks to unclemike for the trade so I can check KS off the list! This beer pours a clear amber-copper color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grain and caramel malt. Medium-bodied with a sweet malty character. Light fruit and caramel and just a hint of hops. The finish is sweet, malty and short. Just average overall.

A trade from Unclemike: Pours dark amber and has a good head and lacing, conditioning ok, flavor is an odd assortment of grains and hops, (I’d like to know what they used.), taste is somewhat barnyard with a noticeable sourness, grassy hop finish, not too impressed with this one.

bottle, from trade with unclemike. Ok aroma. Sweet. grainy, wheat, little citrus, orange mainly, caramel, wet cardboard. Clean brownish orange color, good head that faded quickly. No lacing. Bitter sweet flavor, grassy bitterness with minor caramel sweetness. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Ok, nothing bad, nothing to rave about.
