I have misplaced my comments for this beer DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 27, 2008 (Can). Rich malty aroma. Clear amber body, small head. Flavor is malt and slight caramel. Mild, not particularly complex. A bit watery and undercarbonated. kiefdog (1534), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 26, 2008 Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a clear amber color with one finger white head. Some lacing of the glass as the head settles. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of honey and spice. Flavor is also sweet and malty with biscuity and bread notes, some honey, some faint spice. Medium body with a slightly sweet finish. JohnHawkins (4), USA does not count Oct 25, 2008 Smell: I’m never very good at picking out aromas and having a cold didn’t help on this one. I do however remember a sweet malty fragrance.
Appearance: Pours a light golden brown color. Not much carbonation. What head there was from the pour quickly dissipated. Afterward some little lacing was noticeable.
Taste: A wonderful mix of malt and hops in what I consider almost a perfect balance. Also a nice fruitiness is present with a little bitterness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: A nice medium bodied beer that becomes rather filling after a few beers. Not too much carbonation to get in the way of the flavor.
Drinkability: I would drink this beer all day if I could and whenever I see it on tap I have a hard time trying something new.
