Pour is a brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice caramel/malt combo. Flavor is a good mix of caramel malts with just the faintest touch of hops. An ok beer from one of my least favorite styles.

Pours a ruddy orange amber. Virtually no head, and light lacing. Grassy wheat scent. Almost chewy wheaty malt on the tongue. Bitter a slight hops on the way down, but would have liked it sweeter. It’s passable, but not great. I hope the other items in the six pack my father schleped back for me from Oregon is better. (Bottle pour 05/20/2006)

Nice amber color is dark and rich. Taste is a nice blend of malts, caramels, foral tones, and some fruitiness/citrus. Finish is smooth and malty - very drinkable amber ale.

A quaffable ale, if an unexciting one. Copper bodied with a thin white head, it’s got a caramel aroma with toffee and a light floral hopping. Kind of thin with a light, sweet malt flavor and a mild earthy bitterness. Finishes on a caramel note. Okay.

Bottle. Don’t know if my nose was not detecting some aroma here or what. Just ordinary beer aroma. Darker shade of amber for body color. Nice off white head that looked to be creamy ocean foam. Real good lacing thoughout the beer. Flavor was decent with some sweet moderate citrus and bitterness. Seeing the head lated thoughout the beer. Left like a ice cream popsicle flacor on the palte that was good instead of the bitterness. Good brew.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a lasting off-white head. Aromas of biscuits, malt and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of biscuits, carmel and a bit of citrus with a crisp, clean finish.

(bottle) Nice amber color with rapidly fading head. Only mild hops aroma. Flavor is slightly hoppy, balanced with malt, but only medium bodied.
