Jun 5, 2006 Draught at Madison Mallards baseball game. Fresh, yet faint aroma. Small light brown/off-white head. Relatively dark amber body with some lace. Tough to see the appearance through the souvenir plastic cup. Has a hop profile that is a little stronger than Anchor Steam. Has a cloying maltiness. Solid and drinkable. Similar malt variety to the Great Dane ESB that is currently only available at the Fitchburg brewpub.

Jun 27, 2007 On tap @ the brewpub (downtown): Poured amber with a white head. Aroma, earthy notes, some caramel, light citrusy notes. Flavor, some sweeter malts up front, but they are faint, an earthy, herbal bitterness is more dominant. So so.

Jul 16, 2006 On tap downtown. Poured a clear, deeper reddish/amber with a short cap of off-white head. Nose was clean and weaker... leaning toward fruity sugars.. with lightly-toasted caramel. Flavor was stronger with the toasty caramel and lighter fruity malts... accented by a mild herbal bitterness. Smooth on the palate and lighter-bodied.. with a crisp finish. Almost watery at the back-end. Not bad.

Jun 17, 2006 Tap at downtown location. Pours to a very transparent chestnut brown body with a white head. The aroma is corn syrup and some sort of malt. Perhaps carapils or toasted pale malts. The flavor is corn syrup, lightly smokey/toasted malts, noble hops. Basic borin palate but not offensive.

Jun 20, 2006 Updated: Jun 14, 2007on tap in the brewery a bit better. Biscuis and a lot more bitterness for 07. On Tap at Mallards game. Plastic cup. Not the best place to try this one. Pours an amber brown, slight head. Malty and bit cloyingly so. Heavy for a summer brew and not interesting enough for serious drinking.
