Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours clear orange with nice cream colored head. Little bread in the aroma but not much going on. However, very light bitter flavor with a hint of sour. But overall nice and sweet caramel with a balance of hops. Very lively on the tongue with a long finish.

(tasting notes: 05/16/09) Cask conditioned on draft at the Nort Coast Tap Room. Velvety white head. Crystal clear dark orange body. Hops are very muted by the hand pumping. Really like the bottled version a heck of a lot better because it uses one of my favorite hops.

12oz bottle from the Wine Rack in Midland. Pours amber with thick and creamy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with citrus, spices and malt. Flavor is malty with hops, citrus, caramel and spices. Nice balance between malt and hops. Full bodied and full flavored pale ale. Pretty good pale ale.

Red ale de couleur ambrée et trouble. Relativement plus houblonnée que la plupart des red ale, ce qui lui donne un petit charme. Sinon, elle est bien balancée.

Slightly hazy medium gold with nice off-white head. Expected grapefruit hop aroma. Tart and hoppy with some bready malt lurking in there. Bold bitterness like orange rinds mix with black pepper for lingering finish. Not well-balanced: bitter is by far the most prevalent flavor

Draft. Pours a nice amber with a good white head. Nose is malty. Flavors are mild with malt slightly stale at times. Hops are subtle and ok. Not too bad.

Beer poors a copper/amber with a nice white head. Aroma is nice with a nice combination of hops and malt coming through. Beer has an overall nice bitterness for the style. Flavor is dominated by a subtle sweetness and a nice hop bitterness. Palate is a bit sticky but overall nice. This beer is good but I found myself looking for more flavor than it appeared to have.

Copper pour. Avg head. Malt caramel flavor and aroma. Not bad. I’ve seen this around for a long time and never bothered. A one time buy for me. $8 a six.
