Very watered down and slightly dry at the end. Caramel malt nose is faint. I was expecting this to be pretty good. Oh well, I guess they all can’t be great! Very pale in color. Very pale in taste.

I was expecting more, despite the fact I haven’t ever heard of this before I bought it. Very malty aroma and relatively malty taste. Lightly hopped. There is a very distinct mildly sweet character that comes out in the malt. Tastes kind of like caramel or faintly of molasses. Overall just a bit bland.

Little cloudy for this copper colored ale. Malty and spicy flavor. Finish is missing that pizazz.... it just sort of fades with this wine like palate.

Light color, malty aroma and flavor. Slight wine tones, may just be the alcohol coming through in the nose. Thin head, mild carbonation. Slightly hoppy and an unfortunate watered down flavor. I would drink it again but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to my friends.

Light gold color, medium head. A full bodied ale. Mild malts and hops. Mellow full flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A nice mild tasty beer
