Jan 14, 2008 Clear amber body with a small offwhite head that drops into some flecks of lace. Muted aroma of toasted caramel and earthy hops. Hop bitterness dominates the taste with an earthy feel. Toasted caramel balances well. A pedestrian ESB, overall, but nicely drinkable.

Jan 13, 2008 Thanks lb4lb. Clear amber pour, small white head. Aroma is toasty with a hint of caramel. Flavor is caramel, brown malt, a touch of biscuit, a hint of chocolate and some hop bitterness. Not sure where this was going but it didn’t go very far. Thin mouthfeel and just a flavorless beer.

Jan 13, 2008 Aroma of toast and citrus. Pours with moderate head, welcoming light amber. Taste is straight grain, orange peel, and a hint of dark choclate and an unknown herb. The body is full for a lighter ale and is perfecty fizzy. This a great winter beer without being a dark beer, quite a feat.

Jan 13, 2008 MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 12, 2008. Thanks to LawStudent09. Gold color with no head. Aroma of cardboard. Musty grain and toasted malt flavor. Seems like a lighter version of Flat Tire. Blah.

Jan 12, 2008 I’m not sure what to say about this one,. I’s a bit bitter in the flavour, aroma is pretty bland. Not much else going on.

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper with a shortish white head. Smells grainy with light hops. Has that New Belgium flavor that all of their brews seem to be infested with I can’t but my finger on it but it turns my stomach a little. This is not my idea of a good winter ale but it isn’t terrible.

Jan 10, 2008 On tap at Flying Saucer. Pours a copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is spicy malt and floral. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt with a nice spicy finish. A good ESB from New Belgium.
