Jul 19, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a reddish-amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma is light and sweet, with notes of caramel, grain, roasted malt, and floral hops. Taste is medium-bodied and light, with a mild initial flavor of grain and roasted malt giving way to somewhat sweeter and more astringent hoppy finish. A simple summertime beer.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle purchased at Corral Liquors in Granite City, IL. Pours a lightly hazy copper with a finger of creamy off-white head that reduces fairly quickly to a thin skin. The nose is of toasted, cookie-like malt, salt and earthy hops; interesting. Light to medium-bodied and silky with a mildly bitter and dry finish; quite quaffable and pleasant on the tongue. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn’t quite live up to the mouthfeel. Sweet, toasted caramel malt with an odd phenolic supporting note finishing with a mildly bitter earthy hopped conclusion. This is better than many ambers that I’ve sampled, but overall, it left me wanting more.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle smuggled back from NC on my last trip. Pours a clear amber color. Aroma of sweet caramel malt that comes through in the flavor pretty nicely. A faint bitter hop finish. Rather thin and not too complex after that though.

Jun 21, 2008 Columbia, SC - Total Wine - 12 oz bottle. Dark orange, murky pour with a quickly fading white head. Cereal like aroma with some toffee accents. Flavor is decidedly sweet with some caramel accents, nuttiness, and some candied sugar - comes off bit artificial tasting though. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky.
