noid1985 (49), Broadview, Illinois, USA Nov 2, 2009 24oz bottle- decent beer with an above average flavor that has perhaps a hint of cherry?? Can’t say it’s a favorite, but the flavor does stand out badnloose (99), North Hollywood, California, USA Oct 31, 2009 Fairly crisp, with a good level of hops, and very low carbonation. Kinda simple, but easily consumed. bsp77 (191), Minnesota, USA Oct 30, 2009 Poured from tap into small mug.
Clear bright amber-orange with moderate head and some active lacing.
Aroma of sweet biscuit and fruit malts.
Very malty, with an emphasis on sweet biscuit. Seems to be some slight citrus and spice notes to balance the sweetness.
Moderate carbonation, medium to light body. Somewhat thin, as just about all New Belgium beers are, but it fits this one better than many others.
While nothing overly impressive, this is always nice to have every once in a while. Good when a light malty beer is desired.
tomthompson89 (1453), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 25, 2009 Had in Minneapolis nose is sweet malts with some grassy slightly citrus hops i think. flavor is malty and a touch hoppy nice beer i understand why this one is a best seller IkesNephew (12), Henderson, Nevada, USA Oct 24, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a medium amber with a light bubbly head that quickly dissolves. Smells of malty chocolate and love. Very nice. Flavor is much the same but weaker. Low carbonation, goes down like water with a fast fading finish. Slightly disappointing in this respect. This beer is great for the nose, easy to enjoy. Drink from a glass, not the bottle. Pull in the aroma with each drink for maximum enjoyment. Better on tap. rugbydude05 (280), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Oct 24, 2009 12 oz on tap at Navy Pier. Pours a dark amber color, plentiful head. Aroma is roasty/chocolaty with some maltiness. Flavor is sweet (chocolate) but not too overpowering. Palate was smooth, but tasted watered down. Aftertaste is fresh but overall the beer is nothing too special. elgiacomo (64), Ringgold, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2009 12oz. bottle. Pours amber with a one-finger white head. Good lacing. Aroma is fairly subdued hops, some yeast. Flavor is sweet caramel malts, bread, yeast, with a slight hop note. Mouthfeel is quite creamy with low carbonation. Quite refreshing. Solid Amber Ale. mike67 (73), , New Jersey, USA Oct 18, 2009 12oz bottle at Boiling Pot, Rocport, TX. Pours amber with a thing short head. Aroma of ripe fruit, caramel malt with bread notes. Flavor of fruit, juicy malt and yeast balanced by citrus hops.
Not a bad brew when nothing else available.
