Nov 22, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 11/22/09
Aroma: The nose has lots of caramel, toffee, and sweet fruits, with notes of cereal/bread and earthy hops
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color with a disappearing off-white head and light lace
Flavor: Flavor is medium-high sweetness, with a bit of earthy bitterness for balance
Palate: The body is light-medium, with some lively carbonation, and a somewhat sticky mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
Overall, this is turns out to be a well-structured and tasty beer, maybe a drop too sweet for my palate, but very good none-the-less. One that works well as both a highly drinkable brew, and a nice example of its style. Truly a nice beer that, that you might say even borders on being "Untouchable" (sorry, I couldn’t resist, it was just too easy...) No, it’s not quite that good, but it is really solid, and I can’t pass up an easy joke.

Feb 1, 2006 Pours a dark amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a slightly hoppy finish. A good, smooth brew

Sep 13, 2002 The third Great Lakes offering that I’ve tried, and they haven’t failed to impress. Imagine if someone told you twenty years ago that you could get great beer from Cleveland.
