Oct 15, 2002 I had to order this - I was sitting in the Brick with Argo0, Kathy, Wakie and his wife Marge, and things were, ahem, happy, and I was wearing my Albion College sweatshirt. And it was in stock! Cha-ching! Quite malty, alcohol nicely worked in (and noticeable) very balanced, great hop touches throughout. A very well made beer.

Mar 16, 2007 Pours very nice, with a thick dark amber, brown color. Has a ton of head. Took about 20 minutes to pour the entire bottle. Aroma is kind of nonexistent. mouthfeel is fair and smooth. Flavor is strong and more malty than most ambers. Overall a very good beer.

Oct 17, 2002 Wow, nice aroma! Unfortunately, I didn’t stop there. The
flavor is a little bit of a letdown--tastes watery. Has promise
but lacks substance. Hint of pumpkin flavor, and amber malt
flavor is quite noticeable.

Nov 4, 2003 balanced malt hop aroma, transparent amber, awesome balance between sweet malt and berry hoppiness

Nov 18, 2003 Murky, amber ale with a medium-sized, creamy, ivory-colored head. Great retention. Cascading lacework.
The aroma is malty with notes of caramel, toffee and chocolate. Also some notes of brown tea.
Malty flavor, as an amber ale should have. Blasts of caramel and toffee in every sip. Not-quite-balanced as the smooth, rich malts win their battle versus the hops. Not as well-hopped as most Left Coast beers. Those crazy Californians usually "hop up" the most malty of styles. Not this one. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Short, clean, grassy finish.
MaltHeads will rejoice; hopheads will be disappointed. A real winner within its genre.

Feb 18, 2005 Body is a dark amber, with a thin cream head. Aroma is caramel, hops, crystal malts. Definitly differant, very fruity with raspberries, strawbeerries, very very malty and nice. The hops in this beer keep it in check, and it comes through very solid.

Oct 14, 2002 Nice amberbody with an OK head. Aroma is sweet and moderately citrus hoppy. Flavor is nicely balanced between sweet malty (caramel) and a pleasant medium hoppiness. Finishes mildly bitter.
