Clear amber with creamy light tan head. Aroma is earthy hop tinged with some caramle maltiness. Taste is more earthy hoppy than malty, but fairly well-balanced. Good bitter swallow.

12oz bottle labeled bottled on 11/16/06. Poured a medium and clear copperish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, honey, and all around fruity. Tastes of caramel, fruity, and had almost a sourish/bitter finish. Thin body that was bordering on watery. Some lacing left on the glass.

Pours copper with a tanish head. Smells of honey, grape seed, and toffee. Taste is of alcohol and some nice malt. Better than most of their brews.

Tap at Downtown Bar and Grill. Slightly hazy deep amber colour. Aroma is quite clean and malty. Soft toasted malt, grainy and fresh tasting. Flavour is quite simple with light pale malt, a hint of toast and honey. Light caramel. Fairly clean. It’s pretty simple, but it’s not bad.

Copper colored with aroma of caramel malt, spoice, some hops. Tastes malty, with some finishing hops, toffee, and cinnamon. Not real complex.

Bottled (22 oz), 2001. This winter brew from one of VT's 'middle-range' micros starts out reasonably promising, with a lovely dark amber/reddish color (though very weak head) and a nice slightly spicy, honeyed nose. The flavor starts out ok, the body is rather full, but it quickly becomes apparent that there's not much going on besides the honey sweetness and some ok maltiness; at the end the brew really falls down, with a pronounced sour-milk thing going on for a really terrible finish. Not recommended.

12 oz, Spring 2003. I just realized that LT have 2 honey-flavored beers, out of 11. Tells you something right there. Most of what I said before holds, except this one didn't seem precisely "offensive" at the end, but still thin and watery and boring.

Mild sweet aroma with a gentle hoppiness and perhaps a hint of diacetyl. Clear copper-amber with small white ead that recedes to very thin cover. Sweet buttery flavour up front with a touch of roasty bitterness and hints of alcohol. Slightly viscous mouthfeel. Bottle.
