Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours burnt red-orange with a weak head. Aroma of grass, minerals, and malt. Flavor is a anemic concoction of biscuits, malt and grass. Even by Harpoon’s standards this beer is forgettable.

Mar 2, 2009 12oz bottle. Included in Harpoon mix pack. This is an OK beer for what it is. Not very strong with little character but it is very drinkable.

Feb 12, 2009 12oz bottle: Light brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma: Hoppy at first but mostly caramel and weak roasty malt. Inital taste is a nutty sweetness that finishes slightly dry. A little watery and while I wouldn’t call it flat, it had weak carbonation. Nevertheless, its smooth and drinkable. A session beer I wouldn’t mind having.

Feb 12, 2009 Feb. 12, 2009; 12 oz. bottle. Your basic, nondescript brown ale. Nice caramel-malt notes, but a bit watery. Some nice bitterness on the finish, albeit with some vague aspects of the same nasty spice that makes this brewery’s "Winter Warmer" such a disaster. Meh.

Jan 29, 2009 THOUGHTS: Better than a macro. A nice session beer, but not great. I’d take a Troegs Rugged Trail over this any day. Something was just a little off in the flavor.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light reddish brown with an average, off-white head that mostly diminished and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate nutty and caramel malts and very light pine hops. The flavor started sweet, bitter and slightly acidic, and finished bitter, a little sour and acidic with an average duration. There was caramel malt and nuttiness then a little piney hops along with a little burnt malt. The light to medium body was pretty watery and slightly dry in the back of the mouth with tingly carbonation and a slight metallic and very light astringent finish.
