Bottled. Hazy, dark honey colored ale with an offwhite head. Not much for lace. Aroma is malty with honey, sugar and light yeast(musk) and hops--some fruit. Medium body, lightly dry, lightly watery finish. Light carbonation. Flavor was malty, sweet and non-descript. Very boring. Better bottled than at the taphouse down the street from the brewery.

Had a malty aroma of a musty area in a cellar. Amber color and head was small and disipated. Kind of a bland flavor and nothing really noticable stood out. Easy on the palate and somewhat bitter.

pine, citrus and yeast nose; lively carbonation; orange peel flavor & astringency, and a bland, pale malt backbone; moderately full body; nothing special at all about this

Golden amber with yellow orange tinges. Medium sized white head settles down to a nice foamy layer. Crisp malt aromatics with complementary floral hop undertones. Extremely delicate malt flavors over a muted floral and spicy hop character. Finishes very crisp and refreshing. Not outstanding in any particular area, but well balanced and very thirst quenching.

Nice hop flavors with a mild, sweet finish. Nothing too special about this one, but it’s refreshing and light with a nice alcohol kick.

Ruby/amber color with a small, soapy, white head. Pleasant but somewhat nondememo aroma of caramel and malts and fruitiness. Flavor is quite hoppy and somewhat unbalanced as a result; some malts but the hops dominate, and there isn’t much else. Medium body; lightly sticky. Easy drinking beer but average at best.

This is a nice all around beer. Has a copper amber colour with a nice slight white head that fades fairly readily. A little sweet and a little hop, but not quite balanced. A little more hop may be in order.

Nice copper color, with good head. Aroma with hops and slight malt. Average hoppy to it, with good balance of malt nice clean finish.
