Sledge Jr (2708), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Aug 20, 2005 On tap at the Brewpub. Dark gold/light amber with a white head. Very ESB-like. Buttery aroma and flavor. Mild hop finish. Smooth with fruity undertones. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jul 14, 2005 Clear bright orange in color - this ain’t no amber. Muted aroma with faint traces of malt sacks and orange rind. Carbonation bomb recedes to a triumph of bitterness over malts. Some caramel and rye elements. This beer is the very definition of why ambers have a bad name. Acidic, yeast bite aftertaste. DavidP (1710), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 1, 2004 Golden body. Dried apricot heavy sweetness in the aroma. Sweet caramelly flavor with just a hint of stemmy hops. Unoffensive and boring flavor, really only bringing that sweet caramel to the table. argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA Jul 2, 2003 Clear orange body with small white head. Aroma is mild -- some sweetness and fruit. Taste is medium grassy, some floral, hint of fruit (apricot), medium sweet. Finish is minimally grassy.
