Jan 27, 2004 Gold color with decent sized head. Big malt taste right up front with caramel finish that you can't ignore. 6.2% masked very nicely.

Mar 2, 2003 A very deep golden/ color with a hint of aged copper. The air is filled with sugary spices and butterscotch. Tastes very weak, with only a small amount of burnt caramel malt coming through, then the taste vanishes. An uninspiring brew here

Jan 15, 2002 Not bad, altough it starts pretty heavy. This cause of its powerful hoppiness which may is not everyones taste. But not a bad choice for the season.

Nov 17, 2001 Gorgeous deep golden with a bit of amber, and redolent piney hops start this one off. When the foam dies down you can see resinous surface and the approach yields some last second malt carmels. The taste is a total disappointment. These chaps must’ve been talking to Stone. Here’s some advice: lots of hops do not a good beer make. Thanks for the hop tea guys, but this is hardly a beer.
