aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA Nov 22, 2007 Iced tea with a touch of hops and caramel. Mildly sweet and soft palate with a clean finish. GreatStelle (355), Chico, California, USA Aug 28, 2003 nice amber color, with a small head that dissapears quickly. Not real hoppy but very tasty. A slight bit of sweetness and honey in the flavor. Very good and light. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA Apr 22, 2003 Murky red in the glass with a head that vanishes quickly. Fairly hoppy, as befits an amber ale. Enough malt to balance things out. Bitter aftertaste. Typical quality West Coast micro that I wish we had on the East Coast, darnit! beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Mar 11, 2003 Red brown color. Small head. Aroma is malty and slightly sweet. Medium bodied red ale. Malts are slightly sweet, and a touch nutty. Hops are kind of mild and slightly citrusy. It a touch thin, but it has enough flavor to make it drinkable. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. morebier4me (140), New York, USA Jan 6, 2003 I wonder about this beer. sarie99 (49), San Francisco, USA Jan 6, 2003 Strong malty aroma. Hazy copper color. Virtually no head. Mild malt flavor - one dimensional with lingering sweet malt flavor. Because of strong aroma expected more flavor, somewhat disappointed. Marc (477), Yokosuka, Japan Sep 6, 2002 Quickly dissapateing head and very little apparent carbonation. Nose is simarly to being on a brewery floor, tons of grain a,d bread. Kinda thin in the mouthfeel with a sharpness on the tounge, malt and bread are the prevailing flavors but fairly simple. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA Sep 2, 2002 It’s amber, it’s cold, wet, kinda sweet and it’s ale. Nothing to shout about, but drinkable
