Aug 15, 2006 Amber with a frothy, off white head. Caramel malts in the aroma. Sweet and slightly floral hoppiness with some bitterness. Very malty flavors with a strong sweetness. Big malts and a big body. Finishes off sweet. Not much to be said.

Aug 15, 2006 warning: could turn anyone into an alcoholic....a beautifully crafted red. perfectly balanced. smells of fruits and flowers and dark malts. a hint of fruit flavor (not to much) and flavors of brown sugar, honey and roasted malt.

Jul 12, 2006 From a bomber.
Pours deep red-orange with a moderate head. The aroma is heavy with brown sugar; plums meet some citrus hops and a more restrained floral hint. The flavor is certainly malt-heavy, fruity and sweet, not sticky-sweet but rather...why not...nectar sweet, with a good crisip breeze of hops cutting the sweetness down and finishing with a good balance.
This is a good beer; I think I preferred their IPA but in a world where "amber" is so often a synonym for "mediocre" this one is up there with the standouts of the style.

Jun 28, 2006 On draft at Half Moon. Poured an orange-ruby color with a nice head and near perfect lacing. The aroma was of light floral, pine, and citrus hops. Flavor brought out a nice balance of all three hop qualities of the aroma along with some grapefruit dominance, while building on a very light caramel base that had some bready notes mixed in. Citrus-like bitter rinds came through as it warmed, creating a nice zip to the finish. Mouthfeel was full bodied for the style, very nice summer beer.

Jun 23, 2006 Tasted from bottle at Nat. Homebrew Conference 06/23/06. Clear copper color with off white head. The aroma was mostly all hops with a citrus orange and spicy hops. Very nice and pungent. I taste orange-ish hop flavor along with what seems like Centennial hop bitterness. Excellent hoppy beer.
