dcschiller (17), Arizona, USA Nov 3, 2009 (bottle) Orange color with some sediment. Burnt-caramel maltiness with subtle hoppiness underneath. Chewy mouthfeel. I did not have high expectations for this beer, but that was a mistake. It’s a nice, solid beer. I would classify this as a ’table’ beer b/c of it’s relatively low alcohol content. However, it has the flavor of a higher-alcohol beer. bergstaden (99), Røros, Norway Oct 10, 2009 Ambet with white head - strong malty taste, hints of caramelsome roasted notes - distinct hoppy flavor - very nice and drinkable Arayaga2 (931), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 29, 2009 Hazy brown with a white head. Aroma is caramel and DMS. It tastes as it smells with a mildly sour, grainy finish. $2/11.2oz drpimento (785), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Sep 12, 2009 Got this bottle a few months ago at Sam’s in Chicago; hasn’t been kept chilled. And perhaps it should have been. Think it’s gone bad as it has some definite sourness. Poured with a tan head that quickly subsided and no lace. Aroma is just plain malty beer. Color isn’t that great - hazy medium to dark amber. Flavor is like aroma but yeasty bitter plus the sour. Body is ok and so is carbonation. Can’t finish it tho. Indra (2018), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Sep 9, 2009 330ml bottle. Bready, lightly sweet, caramel aroma, very lightly fruity and spicy. Cloudy medium-dark red-orange color, head is fine and lasting. Flavor profile is nicely balanced between the caramel and sugary malt sweetness, background dried fruitiness, lightly spicy, herbal hop and moderate bitterness. Lingering caramel malt flavors late. Smoothly effervescent and thin on the palate with a light-medium body. Quite drinkable and a very good example of the style. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 5, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were and left behind a transparent softly carbonated golden and thick foamy lacing. The aroma was malty and bready. The crisp mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops. travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Sep 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, golden to orange in color, with a white head. The smell is caramel, wheat, sweet, cereal, and malts. The taste is malts, sweet, wheat, very grainy. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Aug 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of malt, toffee, cocoa, and caramel. Taste is of grain, caramel, toffee, and leaves.
