Jul 7, 2005 Nice mildly sweet and medium hoppy aroma. Almost opaque Amber color. Grapefruit peel bitterness and ample hop flavors. Mild malt and more citrus in the finish. I thought this was an exceptionally well done Amber.

May 4, 2005 Bottle, in Arcata, CA. Rich ruby red coloor with nice head. Good malts and hops with a hint of fruit. Real easy to drink, and is one of those brews that somehow seems better than the sum of its parts. I tend to chalk this to good balance.

Mar 10, 2005 From the bottle this brew pours a slightly hazy red with a tall off-white head. Aroma has a blend of dusty malts and mild hops. Fruit malt start with an almost rotten apple tart taste to the finish. Very bitter in the finish with more residual rotten apple in the aftertaste.

Mar 4, 2005 Pours deep ruby in color with a head that is colossal in size and tumoric (Yes, I made up that word) in its falling. Well balanced aroma that shows a bit of malt (caramel, biscuit and fruit) and hops, which are most likely Centennial or Chinook, or a combination of both, which brings a touch of spicy characteristics and citrus to the aroma. Flavor is uniquely enjoyable with malt flavors of caramel and biscuit and a lovely hop flavor and bitterness. This Mad River beer, like the Scotch Porter, is suprisingly good.
