Pours a nice amber color with a little off white head its sweet and floral you have an initial malty caramel taste ending with a bitter hop flavor at the end. Its a good balance and a nice change of pace beer that hides the 5.8% well.

Pours reddish amber with thin head and no lacing. Very pleasing hop aroma. Tastes of caramel malt at first with distinct hop flavors following. Long finish of malt with nice hop balance. A well-rounded drinkable session beer.

Bottle- trade extra from emacgee. Lightly hazy amber in color with a small, off white head. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, some moderate citrus/floral hops as well as some yeast and bread. Taste has caramel and toasty crystal malts, lightly nutty, a bit of dark fruit and some citrus from the cascade hops...medium bodied, Finishes lightly bitter.

A reddish amber colored beer with a wonderful aroma of sweet and malty characteristics. Very complex flavor that finishes rather clean. An enjoyable beer

Poured amber with very little head. The aroma was on the malty, grainy side. The flavor was mostly sweet and malty, but not cloying. There was a slight graininess two it, almost like a huskiness, but it did not take away from the beer. This was something quite different after all the hoppy beers out there. Enjoyable.

12 oz bottle from lithy. Pours a pale reddish color with a 1/2" off white head and spotty lasting lace. Floral hop aroma with a light palate and average carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet malt. Nothing to complex here, but a nice drinker.
