Smells of dark malts and some hops. Taste is light and refreshing with a very nice rich malty back. Very tasty

Nice dark amber pour with a really nice velvetty head. The aroma is somewhat toasty, with some caramel and faint chocolate. The flavor is toasty, roasty with a soft sweetness. Hops are light, but noticeable enough to create bitterness and crispness.

Clear bronze appearance with a large, off white head and decent lacing. Caramel malt aroma with a faint note of chocolate early on. Bready malts dominate the taste, maybe some soft fruit if you dig deep enough. Gently hopped, moderately carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel leading to a short lived finish. A session beer best enjoyed locally and as fresh as possible.

Brassy color with a fluffy head that quickly flattens. Notes of musty hops, malt, nut, and caramel wiggle their way to the nose. Medium-bodied and characterized by an enjoyable medly of malts that endow it with moderate complexity. Toasty, nutty, and some maltiness round out the flavors.

This copper ale poured with a tall beige head. There is a light caramel malt flavor with a fair amount of carbonation, and a grassy finish.

Bottle from Grocery Outlet in Woodland, CA. Brilliant copper color with a thick off-white head. Aroma is a bit bready; mild grassy hop. Near full bodied with creamy frothy carbonation. Flavor is bready, somewhat hoppy, finishing rather astringent. Not all that exciting, but a very drinkable beer.

Pours a clear, nutty brown with a small white head. Yeasty aroma. Smooth, but thin palate. Very slight hop note, but too thin to really note. Not much else to say...generic.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with dkachur. Pours a clear amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left partial lace. Very mild aroma of caramel and not much else. The flavor is very similar with light caramel and very little else. Only slightly bitter at the finish. Thin bodied with a watery mouthfeel. This beer can be summarized in one word, weak.
