(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.

Dec 6, 2009 Pours a clear dark golden orange color with golden amber edges when held to a light source and a thin .5 finger off white head that immediately settles into a lasting ring. Not much lacing.
Very hoppy aroma for the style with hints of earthy dry pine as well as some toasted caramel malt.
Very hop forward with plenty of dry piny bitterness that lingers throughout. Caramel malt backbone provides a nice balance rather than being the prominent flavor which is very odd for the style. Spicy notes of cinnamon, pepper and brown sugar. Light bodied, clean and crisp with a dry bitter finish.

Nov 23, 2009 11.2 fl oz bottle purchased at Lukas KC. Pour is hazed copper brown with a one inch off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of big straw grassy caramel maltiness, some fruit sweetness under that. A touch of nuttiness comes out when it warms. Taste is the nose, straw mild
caramel malt, hazelnut and the faint fruit sweetness. The taste is not quite as fresh and vibrant as the nose, but is still nice. Some interesting yeast thing going on with some clove and spice. Palate is low carbonation, thin to medium bodied. The mouthfell is actually a little oily and flat tasting, though is still reasonably easy to drink.

Nov 18, 2009 (bottle - 330 ml) Copper pour with a thin white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma is very malty and sweet with a lot of caramel notes. Flavor is similar. Smooth and sweet at the beginning with a mildly roasted malt middle. Some light bitterness and roasted caramel malts at the end. Light body and light aftertaste.

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.
