Jun 15, 2005 Pours copper with a substantial foamy head, aroma is sweet malt with floral hops. Sweet apricot, malt is present and piney hops is there to balance nicely. Medium bodied but a bit watery mouthfeel, finishes crisp. Very drinkable, more hops than you might expect from an amber but then it’s name should let you in on that fact. This is a good beer, would probably sell well if the brewer would redo the artwork on their labels and lose the lame happy face theme.

Apr 28, 2005 Pours a fairly average amber color. With a huge head. Some sediment is floating around. Aroma is slighlty sweet and hoppy. Lots of carbonation. Beer is quite bitter. Some malt character as well. Bitter grapefruit like aftertaste. Would be better with less carbonation.

Feb 7, 2005 Bottle. Copper color with a big off-white head. Citrus hop aroma with a sweet malt backing. Nice hop flavor with more sweet malts - fruity - mostly citrus - and some pine. Could use a bit more bitterness (but that’s a personal preference). Very nicely balanced and easy to drink.

Oct 4, 2004 Peach.
Odd nose of shoe polish, leather, grapefruit, tangerine and peach. Hoppy, just weird.
Nice n’ hoppy with notes of grapefruit, wood, apricot and peach. Biscuity and caramel malt hold things together quite well. A nice offering.

Aug 8, 2004 A nice way to spice up an otherwise boring and average style of beer. Nice fruity aroma. THe flavor is very well balanced,with some nice hoopy acidity. Not bad.

Jul 30, 2004 Thanks Lord Gorlock! The aroma is raspberries and caramel. The flavor is bitter orange, lemon, and caramel. Its not that complex of a beer but definitley good for the otherwise boring Amber Ale style. This would be a good session beer.
