Suds_McDuff (951), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston,TX, USA Jul 8, 2006 had at Hops House Brewpub after the Shiner brewery....Pours a dark honey colour.. low head..ok lacing..strong stale honey smell...tastes abit like a honey marzen and a old bitter mix. i had the beer with a green label, i think this is it. JoeMcPhee (3632), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jun 14, 2006 12 oz bottle. Deep hazy copper with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and slightly worty. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavour is extremely watery though. Light toffee and some non-descript bitterness. robertsreality (2462), Minnesota, USA Dec 15, 2005 Dark Brown/Orange Coloring with White Ring. Peppermint Aroma. Some Light Fruity and Spices Quality. Can’t Not Picture Peppermint as I Smell and Taste This Brew...Dry Tangy Finish. Your Basic Average Brew. AndrewM (126), Waco (Buckle of the Bible Belt), Texas, USA Dec 2, 2005 My bottle has a green label, not gold like in picture. Also has XXX on either side of the "New York Ale" writing. Anyhow. <P> Pours a bit clouded brown with no head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is malt, caramel, no hops evident - bottle age unknown, but based on markings on the bottom, I’d say 2002. Probably drinkable when it’s fresh, but not now... I have another beer waiting for me this evening, the rest of this one is going down the drain. <P>My local store has these in stock for some reason, but it seems that every beer I’ve had (including this one) out of their "bargain bin" has been poured down the drain after rating it. Some bargain, eh? badgerben (2990), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Nov 12, 2005 Dark red color with no head. Aroma and taste are very plain dry malts with a bit of hops on the end. Decent.
