Mar 20, 2008 Bottle: Mahogany color with a creamy tan head and decent lacing. The nose is earthy and metallic with a light faded dusty hop note and a chewy spicy caramel malt note. The flavor is tangy with some creamy caramel and light spongy spicy hops. A creamy tail and a lasting earthiness. Nugget, eh? I like nugget.

Feb 26, 2008 Clear copper with a tan head. Spicy herbal hop and caramel malt smell. Smooth mouthfeel. Decent flavors of lightly sweet caramel malt and bready yeast with a nice bitter herbal hop taste to finish. Tastes a lot like FS Amber. Not too bad. 597

Feb 24, 2008 June 2007 - Deep amber color with smallish head, little to no lace. Odd sweet malty flavor. Same oddness in the flavor, don’t know what it is. Sweet and bitter, pretty good, actually. Very unique brew...worth having. Nice mouthfeel.

Jan 27, 2008 Pours a murky light brown color with a thick, somewhat frothy off-white head that laces the glass as it subsides. I smell raspberries and other red fruits. I also get faint malt smells. Tastes of fruity malts and some hops. Lots of red fruits and berries in this brew. Tastes good. Pretty standard palate, almost a little metallic up front. Subdued carbonation, a bit thick. Not the best red I’ve ever had, but good.

Jan 10, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Altogether light aroma of dark caramel with notes of grains and citrus.
Taste: Sweet dark caramel that’s soon scrubbed away by a moderate bitter and a touch of acidity. Spicy, citrusy hop flavors (though more spice than citrus). Hint of grains. Finishes dry with a tea-like bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Very slight stickiness to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: It’s okay. If you’re looking for a decent amber ale then this will scratch that itch.

Dec 28, 2007 Reddish amber color with an off white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel, toffee, bread, and some piney/citrus hop essence. Flavor is caramelly/bready, candyish, and mildly-medium hoppy - all without being too medicinal. Sweet maltiness and mild hoppiness goes well together, but not quite incredible. For the style its damn good.
