Draught: Appeared a copper color with a small white head. Aroma is nice and malty balanced out with some good floral hops. Flavor has some sweetness, but it countered with the right amount of bitterness. A good session brew.

Bottle. Sweet malty aroma, and some citrus. Dark copper body, very small head. Flavor is tangy and somewhat sweet, with a nice complement of background bitterness. Lightly bitter finish. Good stuff.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom (Tampa, FL). Pours a relatively clear amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, hops, some caramel and toffee sweetness, candy sugar. Flavor is malty and slightly bitter with some floral bitter hops, some sweet caramel notes, hints of spice. Generally light to medium body with a slightly malty bitter finish.

Bottle thanks to tronraner. Pours a bright and clear amber color with a medium tan head. A sweet nose of rich caramel, some toasted malt and sugars. The flavor is also dominated by loads of caramel malts, some balance is achieved by a decent hop profile. A soft and fizzy mouthfeel. A light bitterness in the finish. Fairly earthy and nice.

Cloudy copper body with a small beige head. Herbal and floral hop bitterness with a touch of caramel. An amber ale that is a bit on the hoppy side of the spectrum but nicely balanced, overall.

From bottle at the 2008 Strong Ale Festival. For some reason, i feel like ive tried this before. Anyway, amber color. Big fluffy head. Easy to drink.
