Oct 23, 2006 Bottle. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Sweet caramel and slight cocoa aroma. Caramel, toffee, cocoa flavor with some backing hops. Well balanced. Slight lingering bitterness. Easy to drink.

Oct 9, 2006 Poured a light amber/copper; Medium sized white head. A light aroma of malt, citrus and some hops. Taste was at best bland; not horrible but not much there. Sweet malt taste up front, with a nice water ending. There was no discernable "pronounced hop flourish." Below average.

Oct 2, 2006 Creamy copper blonde color with a super slim, unlasting head. Keeps a thin collar and very little lacing sticks, just a few spots here and there.
Aroma is dulled and muffed in a malty sweetness thats slightly melon orangey.
Taste is more of the same, a paled, dulled malty sweetness thats doughy with a slight under carriage of orange, melon, and caramel. A brief play at the hops make an effort towards the finish with a very light, tender bitter pull of floral oils. Nothing to outstanding here, a bit bland in the flavor department. Seems well crafted though, but it just isn’t pulling enough hops into the mix.
Feel is shy of medium with a low, malt soaked carbonation with a slightly textured feel in a few areas.
An OK Pale at best. A little slow and uncomplicated, yes, but carries its well crafted nature with every sip.

Sep 24, 2006 12 oz bottle pours amber with a small head. A light yeasty aroma, light carmel flavors with a little hops. Tastes almost lagered clean and thin. Boring.

Sep 21, 2006 filtered amber body with no head...aroma is very subtle and is of yeast and sediment...below average pale flavor with an alcohol-related bite...thin palate, and a very poor offering

Sep 8, 2006 Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear dark orange amber color with minimal ivory bubbles. Aroma is of hops and malt, with a note of orange. Lightly fizzy on the tongue. Taste is moderately bitter with some underlying sweetness to it. Smooth; not overwhelming in taste.

Sep 4, 2006 Updated: Sep 6, 2006Pours a slightly cloudy amber with small fading head. Has a bitter flavor that sticks to the back of your throat. They call this the Chosen Beer. Good. I choose to not drink it again.
