Deep amber pour with a frothy head and thick lace. Caramel and burned toffee to the nose, although faint, rise as the brew warms a bit. The flavors are also faint, with an "airy" effervescence in pale malt. The finish is very dry and crisp... almost overcarbonated in the seltzer mouthfeel. A bit underwhelming for me.

Light raspberry iced tea color. Light west coast hopping. Woody, tannic, light caramel, medium heavy bittering. Medium body, stocky mouth. A friendly brew and well done. Long building bitter finish. Diacetyl in the high palate. On tap, Mellow Mushroom, Asheville.

An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and a crisp hoppiness, the hops also lends it a light note of grapefruit.

Sampled at Arg0’s Pre-RBSG Tasting at his pad: Amber, caramel color, off-white head and light lacing. Nose of caramel, light malt, some light earthy hops. The flavor is sweet, ah, average. Thin mouthfeel. Nice finish. Thanks Chris_o!

From notes 3/21/05: Pours an orangey/caramel color with a fluffy yet still compact head. Lace rings left with every sip. Aromas of brown sugar caramelized in a pan with butter in the makings of a graham cracker crust. Slight fruity esters rise up in slow clouds of aroma. Flavors are smooth and subtle and supple enough to make this a killer session brew. Smooth and again slightly fruity. Caramel maltiness gives way to an understated hop note. Not a razor sharp hop bitterness, but just enough to pierce through the caramelized sugars. Good body to this one. Stellar drinkability. Wished it had a bit more bite to it, but that’s just being nitpicky.

Amber color with a slowly diminishing white head. Aroma is full of grassy hops. Well balanced stuff with a surprisingly strong hoppy finish. Very easy to drink and very sessionable. These guys can do no wrong.
