phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 11, 2008 One of my favorites from Lakefront,it’s best on draught. Pours a deep amber colour with a big white head. Slightly nutty with a touch of roasted malts. Well integrated hop character, full fruity flavor in the finish. Wulfstan (509), California, USA May 8, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2008This is nice and tasty. It’s deep amber with a big, light tan head that slowly shrinks to a small permanent top and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is bread dough, pine, and toasty bread crust. The taste is toasty bread, crust, a little pine, hints of caramel, citrus, herbs, and butter. It starts sweet, with increasing, faintly spicy, slight bitterness. It’s light and smooth but remains flavourful and interesting. HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA Apr 24, 2008 12oz. brown bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a clear pale amber with a couple of fingers of off white head. Plenty of carbonation. Caramel/bready malt aroma with some noble type hops. Malty but not sweet. A little more hop bitterness than you might expect from an amber. Clean and very drinkable session type beer. Aggie80 (708), Michigan, USA Apr 19, 2008 Maybe because it was the first wonderful day of the year, but this went down really nice! Slightly cloudy dark orange color. Nice head and some lacing. Solid malt tast with a touch of hops in the undertone. Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours deep brown with a fine, white head. Aroma is pretty sparse. Flavor is rather fruity with a strong caramel flavor. Full mouth feel. Good beer. jeff789 (359), Pennsylvania, USA Apr 7, 2008 Copper color... malty aroma, a bit sweet... just enough hops to balance the beer very nicely... not my style of beer, but i can appreciate this... dkachur (2318), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Mar 29, 2008 Bottle from a sampler from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Looks nice... a deep copper color with small but stubborn head. Aroma is caramel and hops. Taste too has a nice bitterness balancing out the hops. All-malt this is not, but it does taste quite nice. puboflyons (589), New Hampshire, USA Mar 28, 2008 From a 355 ml bottle out of an eight bottle collector’s set with a brewed date of the fourth week of Jul 07. Pours a cloudy ruby-brown, which was a little unexpected. I hoped it would be more clear. I liked the rich malty and caramel aroma though. The taste is sweet and dry but there is a slight note of alcohol in the flavor. Overall it is a fairly good brew.
