medium amber color, little head or foam, on tap NOLA. lots of caramel malt, medium body. no hops reveal themselves, but then again - you can’t even sniff a hop in Nola anywhere. Drinkable, nothing off but nothing to write home about either.

Draught sample form New Orleans location. Light hops aroma. Light bit of funk with mild caramel. Reddish amber clear with no head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts dry with light sour mash character. Fairly banal ale with light nutty brown bitterness and mild acidity. Dull papery finish.

Draft at brewpub in Columbus, OH. Poured clear brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate toasted caramel malt aroma. Medium body. Medium toasted balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

On tap in Columbus Ohio - Pours caramel in color with a short tan head that stays well. Good aromas of caramel, slight chocolate, and a touch of raisin.. Flavor is good and malty as well. Caramel, a little chocolate, a lot of raisin and a touch of german hops at the finish. Medium body with lively carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. I found this pretty tasty in spite of some of the ratings here..

Nice flavor, mellow grassy taste. Big fan of this. Washington, DC location. One of the best places to have a beer and casual early evening conversation in DC.

From a sampler at the Gordon Biersch DC location on September 4th, 2005. Bronze with a faint aroma. Indeed I stuck my nose into this several timea nd got nothing more than some sweet malts and light fruit. Taste is malty with light grassy notes and fruit (some citrus). Mild carbonation feel and a medium body. Finishes the same. Weak beer and a bit disappointing. However, it could be better with a full sample.

Copper with a ring of head. Mild aroma, and a low malt character, excpet for the color. Finishes clean and smooth without a lot of fuss and lower in carbonation than some of their other beers. This must be meant for the unadventurous types who want to think they’re taking a step up in the world. (on tap at downtown Washington, D.C. location)
