Appearance: Pours a clear, light brown body with a thin, bubbly head. Smell: Meager caramel-minded maltiness with a small waft of smoke and fruit note. Taste: Mild dark caramel malt character with a pinch of earthy brown sugar. Very slight smokiness. Hint of fruit. Light, inexpressive hops. Overall, a bit lacking flavorwise. Mouthfeel: It’s downright light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Thanks, but no thanks. This is unacceptably bland! The things that pass for an "award-winning flagship ale" these days. Yeesh.

Tap at the brewpub in Tempe. Dark copper color with little head. Light roast caramel aroma. Near medium body. Caramel flavor. Not much else.

From a brown 12oz bottle - Pours a light brown root beer color. Smells very sweet with some malts coming through. Below average carbonation. First sip is both sweet but could use a stronger malt backbone. Weak mouthfeel as it appears to be slightly under carbonated. Not worthy of my time.

Bottle courtesy of Scott; leftover from August tasting. Poured a coppery color with not much off white head. Aroma of biscuit, sweet malt, fruti; no smokiness. Flavor was better than the aroma. Biscuit, sweet malt, peat/earth like flavors, with some fruit (grape?). Flavor did linger for a while, with a nice soothingness. Strongest point of the beer. Better than I thought it would be.

Pours a copper amber with white head. Nose is of medium malt and biscuit flavors. Good mouth feel. Taste is of malt followed by a quick aftershot of the hops. Pretty good.

Bottle: a great introduction to the style, holds up well, decent overall. Only dig is the light body.
