Aroma of light malts and sweet caramel hops. Taste pretty much the same pretty basic amber. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Apr 11, 2009 Sampler. Deep mahogany/ copper color. Creamy white head. Nice lace. Caramel malt aroma. Light toffee notes. Very low malt character. Weak. High hop, lingering bitterness. Overall, its missing the bready sweetness, and with a higher bitterness, it just feels off balance. so so. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Dec 7, 2008 on tap-pours an off white ring for a head and amber color. Aroma is thin, sweet medium malt, faint herbal. Taste is thin, sweet medium malt, secondary herbal hops. Semi dry finish. Easy. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Aug 28, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Maroon/red color, very small white head. Malty nose with some caramel and a bitter undertone. Not too complex and more of a bitterness lean than is typical of the style, but easily drinkable. gabbama (115), Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, USA Aug 27, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Not too impressed with this one. Musty aroma. A bit too much hops for this style seem to be a weak attempt to cover for its other flaws. Drinkable but not one I would drink regularly. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 8, 2008 Tap at the brewpub. Medium copper body with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet and malty with some caramel. The taste was a little bit of dirt and bread crust. There was also some caramel. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Nov 5, 2007 Appearance: Garnet-hued body with a dense, lush off-white head.
Smell: Altogether bland aroma with only faint hint of caramel and yeastiness.
Taste: Light caramel maltiness with a bit of sweetness. Mild hop presence provides a faint tea-like bitterness and a hint of lemon. Bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit light on flavor, but it’s still pretty decent.
