Hudspart (283), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA Apr 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours amber with a thick head. Aroma of cherries and yeast. Flavor same. Pretty good and drinkable.
morrdt (546), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Jul 14, 2008 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice amber color with a light tan/dark white head. Lots of aroma, bready notes. Tastes is okay, drinkable, but nothing too special about this beer. Butters (263), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 14, 2008 Pours a clear amber with thin ring off-white ring of head. Lots of carmel aroma, bready, and a hint of smoke. Malty flavor and a bit astringent on the finish. Decent beer overall drewbeerme (1711), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 6, 2008 on tap at NH brewpub. pours clear copper with white head. nose is grainy, caramel, bready. flavor is bready, nutty. a decent amber. Gregis (848), Overland Park, Kansas, USA 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. jrob_21 (822), Atlanta, Georgia, USA 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.
