Sampled @ John Harvards Brewhouse with the Mad_Indian. Pours amber with an aveage size off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and hops. The flavor is slightly sweet caramel with traces of bitterness through out. Nothing special.

Sampled with Stegosaurus during our second Boston Tour. Served at John Harvards brewing. Amber pour with a caramel and mild hop aroma. A little bitter at first with hints of a hop taste. Watery and thin for me.

From tap at the brewpub in Cambridge. Pours nut brown with an off-white head. Slight dusty malt aroma. Malty flavour with a mild bitterness. Mild toffee and caramel note. Malty finish

Draught pint at JH Cambridge, 8/11/06.
Somewhat fluffy, white head is retained at cover, atop a peanut colored amber-bronze. High clarity with a good deal of bubbles in the liquid. Moderate amount of lacing in rings, proceeds down the glass.
Rubbery/leathery, very dry yeast-like notes emanate from the liquid. Not a very strong aroma, and somewhat bolstered by some dusty, straw/dry-grass-like hoppiness. A touch of buttercream, earth, dirt and more of the rubberiness, on the end. Not sure what to make of it. It’s not overly sweet or dry, dosent really impress much malt or real English notes on the nose.
The flavor contains the rubbery aspect. It’s not autolyzed yeast or anything nearly that bad, just sort of an old, dry hoppiness, or like artificial turf smells. Some definite nuttiness, clean, pale malt sugars and more straw-like notes. Not watery, at all, with a pretty substantial, minimally creamy texture, but there seems to be far more texture than flavor. Certainly nothing lively or even very interesting/complex. No alcohol noted, carbonation is moderate.
