Has a taste like its past its prime.Amber/copper in color, fair-to-middling head. nothing jumps out at me in the smell, and oddly enough, same thing in taste. sweet, maybe some hops, but nothing too special. Not great. MrBunn gets a thanks

Amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel with some citrus hops. Body is sweet and hoppy, though balance. Decent amber.

Poured a clear amber gold with some carb bubbles. The head was creamy and maybe 1/2" tall after settling some. There was a very nice fragrant citrus hop aroma. The flavor started with a nice hop bite crispness initally. There was a good caramel malt sweetness to balance the hoppiness. This beer had a good strong hop character to it.

Poured a brownish orange with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet. Taste was too carbonated, but there was a nice blend of sweet and dark malts. Also a generous amount of hops and some grapefruit.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a brownish orange with a medium head. Very nice lacing. Bland aroma... slightly biscuity with some hop notes. Taste is citrus hops with caramel and dark fruit notes. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Small, white head that disappears. The body is amber. The aroma has cookie, toast and flowers. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body with a watery to creamy texture. Lively carbonation. The body was the best thing about the beer which is average and overly sweet.
