May 7, 2006 Draft @ New Holland: Clear amber color with an off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some piney hops. Some nutty notes as well. The flavor is sweet and malty with caramel and nut. Some hop flavor in the back. Medium bodied.

does not count  Apr 2, 2006 "Smells like feet" is about the best description of this beer I’ve heard.

Jan 6, 2005 Had a pint of this at the brewpub over Christmas holiday, and was quite impressed. I thought it was a brown ale when I had it, so I was a bit surpised to see it considered an amber. Everything about this beer is totally unoffensive, looks nice, smells nice and has a little sweetness and warmth. Thought I tasted a bit of apple in the body, nice mouthfeel, good malty presence and a mild hop finish. Quite good.

Dec 3, 2004 Smells like feet. Very dry texture. Has outside farm, wheat, dirt trail flavors. Finishes with a grass clippings type of taste.

Nov 30, 2004 Growler served as Mystery Beer X. I was certain this was a different Michigan beer and was completely wrong. I also would have never guessed this was an amber. If all ambers were like this I might enjoy the style. Hoppy with lots of malt and a hint of the rye. Very nice in all aspects.

Nov 29, 2004 On tap at New Holland. Cloudy orangish-red body, thin off-white head. Rather piney aroma, caramely, with a touch of fruit. Flavor starts with piney, bitter hops, soon softening to caramely, fruity malts before coming back with a yeasty, earthy, grainy and slightly bitter finish. Reminds me of their Red Tulip Ale (my favorite Amber) but hoppier and with less emphasis on Munich malts. This could probably be placed in a variety of styles, and that’s why I brought a growler of this "mystery" beer to marinaro500’s post-Thanksgiving gathering!
