May 5, 2007 Bottle. I’ve been a big fan of this beer both before and after it was brewed by James Page (now defunct) -- I had one recently and it tasted about the same. I think it’s something of a hybrid between an amber ale and a Vienna -- it’s darker and has more hop accents than a straight Vienna, but it’s not as dark as a true amber. A nice beer with excellent flavor and balance.

Apr 19, 2007 Pours clear amber with a soapy beige head. The aroma is another James Page diacetyl-fest ~ at least they’re consistent. There is also some toasted malt and honey like sweetness. Medium / thin body with soft frothy carbonation. The flavor starts with toasted malt and lots of popcorn butter and medicinal malts. The finish is spicy and astringent. I bought three James Page labeled beers - this is the last of the three and also the last James Page beer I will ever have. This is obviously at thumbs way down beer.

Dec 11, 2006 Bottle. The beer pours to a glowing orange body with a creamy off-white head. Nice visible carbonation and decent lacing. The aroma is malty and has that typical earthy toffee and grain sack qualities. Subtle hops. The flavor has tons of malty grains. Light buttery peanuts. Definitely has that Vienna lager quality to it. Light herbal hops.

Oct 19, 2006 A sandy head doesn’t last long over a bright amber body. Malted aroma to be sure, starting sweet with a hint of non-descript fruitiness yet finishing with a drier grain profile. Malted flavor, bittersweet, with a nice body. Finishes with a hint of sourness. <font size=-4>Bottle thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-14352.htm&g />

May 13, 2006 The aroma’s a bit faint, sweet malt with a bit of graininess to it. Smooth and tasting of sweet caramel, dark toffee, and a light earthy/nutty bitterness, this amber/copper beer is a satisfying if unexciting drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Feb 24, 2006 Aroma was a grainey malt , light attractive amber color, mild malt with a slight tartness to it, some bitterness on the swallow crispness of a lager,as a Vienna it should have a little toastiness or carmel taste ,lite body. Pretty much the standard for this brewery,light bodied thirst quenchers
