Beautiful looking beer, a clear coppery red with a rocky white head and lacing. A slightly floral, grassy aroma. The body is quite creamy with a rich toasted malt flavor and a nice hop finish. I dig it. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Initial taste is relatively mild. Strong hop finish with smooth malt balance. Better finish than start. A good but not great ale. thill25 (218), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a thin broken layer of head. Lightly biscuity aroma with a decent floral hop aroma that gets a tad bit musky as it warms. Mild hoppy start over a smooth malt base. Finish is underwhelming. Tastes more like an ESB. charcot25 (181), Cordova, Tennessee, USA
