Jul 18, 2004 This brew has a sweet, malty aroma and a cakey, almost dessert-like essence to it. No head, dark copper body. The flavor is quite full and malty, decently balanced. Warm and toasty.

Jul 17, 2004 This is one of the best summer ales I’ve every had - straw color with moderate lacing - spicy, grainy aroma - this tastes much like a milder version of their hampshire special ale, it has the same caramel flavor and roastiness - this is much lighter, and has a much more bready, grainy, spicy character, more befitting of the season - the finish is crisp, clean and mildly bitter.

Jul 2, 2004 Not crazy about this Kolsch. Spicy, hoppy, and odd flavors. Finishes bitter, crip, and dry.

Jun 19, 2004 Chill haze pale gold color, somewhat getting close to an amber hue, but not nearly enough. A waffer thin white cap adorns the top quickly disappearing to leave a very thin collar and very little lacing sticks. Aroma is mild and a bit subdued of a sweet bready maltyness and butter with a small hint of grassy hops. Taste is good, a bit sharp of hop spice and carbonation upon first notice. Surrounding it quickly is a nice buttery and dulled fruit maltyness. Malts seem to have the leg up on this one. A bit bready and chewy around the corners, yet keeps a little zip of yeast grab and hop spice right in the middle of the palate. Feel is about medium bodied, chewy and buttery with a certain carbonation hold, but there’s a short bit of emptyness just before the finish. Malts keep it interesting and the front and middle is solid. Sweet, with a certain sharpness and crispness quality to it. A very unique amber, more fruity, then toasty, nearly maibock in likeness really.

May 17, 2004 Poured a light amber with a medium sized white head. Citrus fruits and mild hops on the nose. Nice lemony and fruity flavor. Much better than I expected. And pretty decent for crappy style.

Nov 19, 2003 Very bubbly golden brown beer that is quite clear. There is a quarter inch off white head. It smells very hoppy. Very nice flavor actually, with a nice bitterness that isn't overpowering. Doesn't seem very much like summer though. Some floral notes. OK
