The body is a not too dark. Kind of a golden brown body topped off with very little head. The aroma is pretty malty with a bit of a grape like aroma mixed in. The flavor is also pretty unspectacular with just a bit of malt and very little bittering hops. there is a bit of a grassy flavor as well with a hint of something sweet, maybe grapes again.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottled. Pours a cloudy amber-copper colour with a good amount of carbonation. Aroma is all malt plus a little dusty earth. Flavour is caramel malt plus some roasted notes. Good, nothing great.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber with light cola like body. Aroma is carmel malts with some odd out of place sourness. Taste was tart & sour with some onderlying caramelsweet malts. Not sure if this bottle went bad but down the drain it went after a sip or two

Aug 14, 2008 Decent, straightforward take on the style. I found this to be very pleasant and easy to drink. Pours a clear burnt auburn coloring, with a small but sticky tan head. Looks like a glass of iced tea. Earthy floral aroma, with a semi sweet caramel maltiness, toasted toffee and a bit of light fruitiness that lingers well into the finish. I must have had a fresh bottle, this tasted really nice to me compared to the other ratings.

Aug 7, 2008 12 oz beer. Porus a medium amber clear, lgiht carb, and a thin lasting head. Aroma is pretty weak- light caramel, some dusty toasted malts, stale lightly orange metallic hops. Stale toasted and crystal malts, cardboardy, with a slight earthyl pine sol and orange cleaner slick feel in the mouthfeel. Dry earthy finish. Tastes old, but was only bottled a couple months ago. What gives?

Aug 6, 2008 Taste 8/8( bottle Aug20/07). Looks: Copper with thin tight-bubble head. Aroma: Odd...very yeasty and cherry. Like a mild malty lambic. Taste: Thin to medium bodied, yeasty brew with a little cherry. Grain/straw with a very American ESB taste. No tea, more caramel and yeast/sour.
