Pours a hazy amber with considerable floaties...medium white head that lasts nicely. Bottle reads best if by 6/04, but it is a bottle conditioned ale. Piney aroma with some floral hop notes as well. To start I taste a splash of pineapple, with moderate hops in the middle with a watery finish. Very drinkable, sweet finish. A decent brew.

Amber in color with a small white head. Fruity and bready malt aroma. Flavors of bready malt and yeast.

22oz. bottle: Hazy orange color, with an off-white head. Rich malty aroma, with a flowery edge. Lightly yeasty finish. Yet another good ale from McNeills.

Copper color with a small off white head, light lacing. Tons of floaties, kind of turned me off. Spicy citrus, and pine aroma. Citrus bitter hop taste, orange peel, and a nice sweet caramel malt. The bitter citrus taste was very nice. Rerate Bumped appearance up one point because there was no sediment in this bottle, and quite frankly, I liked it better this way.

22 oz. bomber. Darker brown and murky with lots of smallish floating yeast. Initially has a pretty sizeable, off-white head that dies down rather quickly. Aroma is mostly citrus and hops with a hint of caramel and perhaps some vanilla. Flavor is bready with a nice, mellow maltiness up front, and a very pleasant hop bite in the finish with some pretty good staying power. Some caramel in there somewhere. Medium body, slightly creamy and sticky, but a little less carbonation than I would like. I had half of this bomber with spaghetti with marinara and garlic bread, and this accompanied the meal very nicely. Overall, very solid.

(Draft) Golden amber in color with a creamy white head. Good hop aroma and flavor with a medium bitter bite. A decent APA. 6/20/04 - 22oz Bottle - Pours a dark amber with a hefty off white head that was pretty persistent; lasted throughout the event. Aroma is of flowery hops with some maltiness present. Flavor is medium hoppy and somewhat bitter. Finish is fairly long and medium bitter. Easy drinking and worth repeating.

(1 pint 6 oz bottle) Pours a medium white head and a orange-amber body with high sediment. Floral hop nose. Slight orange citrus in the taste along with hops, faint caramel and a very bitter finish. Good. Many thanks to MartinT for making this available to me...

Pours a light copper with a thick eggshell-colored head. Fresh, clean hoppy aroma blanced with lots of sweet caramel malt. Great tasting sweet butterscotch body well balanced with a piney hop bitterness. Very smooth, refreshing and drinkable.
