Jul 28, 2008 sampler @ brewery - light amber and clear; aromas of mainly sweet malts are on the weak side; flavors similarly follow with some caramel in there; mildly bitter and easy drinking; as per most sampled, nothing outstanding but generally solid

Apr 2, 2008 This is a really promising brewery and they made a great beer out of a style I find often to be a bit bland at most times. Cask Conditioned... Poured dark red with a soapy, white head. Not much aroma, just some faint malt. Smooth and bread like hops that give way to mild malt and a soapy aftertaste.

May 1, 2009 On tap at brewpub. Nice amber pour with a small white head. Aroma is very hoppy, mostly floral but with some earthy and citrus notes as well. Taste is well balanced between malt and those hops, with a nice bitter snap of a finish. Solid and very sessionable.
