Birdiebeagle (777), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2009 Bottle Pours a cloudy amber with a big light tan head. The head is frothy and lasting. Aroma is crisp with hints of apples, honey, and earthy. Has a high carbonation. The flavor is fruity and belgain like. Has decent taste. The texture is dry. Has a light to medium body. The finish is okay with a pleasing aftertaste. Not a bad drinking beer. A lot of flavor for an amber ale. shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 16, 2009 Pours an amber color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, fruity, honey, and caramel. Flavor is caramel, crystal malts, and a light bitter finish. beerbill (1917), Laurel, New York, USA Apr 25, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazed amber with a large off-white head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left a solid layer of foam with each sip. Pleasant malty aroma with some notes of brown sugar. The flavor falls off just a bit and is predominantly malt with little sweetness and some light hops towards the finish. A decent, problem-free beer. rudolf (1734), Buffalo, New York, USA Jan 12, 2009 Slightly copper amber. Nose has crisp English malt - almost papery & butterscotch. Flavor is buttery malts and some toffee. Hops barely make themselves known in the finish. tomthompson89 (1453), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 1, 2009 hmm not the biggest fan of this one. amber color, some foam. little hop on the nose but far more malt. which continues to the flavor which is lotsa toffee flavored malt kinda doughey and a little hop. ok but not fantastic Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Earthy hop character, malty toffee caramel body with some fruity esters. Decent brew. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 24, 2008 (Bottle).
