Commercial Description:
A 2001 Silver Medal Winner at the North American Brewers' Association competition. A deep-copper colored medium - bodied ale. Its fresh flavor is smooth and carefully balanced with a nice mellowness and hint of caramel malt balanced by medium hop bitterness. It is an all malt beer that is naturally carbonated. A very drinkable beer all on its own and pairs well with all kinds of foods.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with Sparky27. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first two sips and left spotty lace. The aroma is a bit earthy with some caramel, but without the sweetness. The flavor is again caramel but without the earthiness of the aroma and just a bit sweeter. Mild bitterness at the finish. A bit timid, but otherwise no problems.

On tap at oak creek. Beer is a nice amber color with a small white head. Aroma is caramel, malt. Flavor is caramel, malt, spices and a touch of sweetness. Finishes sweet.

Clear mild copper, small white head. Stemmy starchy aroma, reminds me of red potatoes. Initially sweet, light caramel, quickly dries out and finishes into fresh wheat bread.

12 oz bottle from Sparky27. Pour is a clear golden orange with with a one inch white head that falls pretty quick. Decent amount of lacing. Aroma of not much, maybe some light toasted maltiness, perhaps a little dustiness. Very faint nose. Taste is thin maltiness, followed by some apple sweetness. There is also a decent crystal malt profile - goodly amount of iced tea coming through. As with the nose, watery with not too much going on. Palate as mentioned is thin, watery. Lowish carbonation. Thankfully brief finish. Dull beer, thanks for sending Eric - Oak Creek does have sweet bottle caps.

Poured a clear reddish amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of toffee, nuts and just a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of malt, toffee and a hint of honey with a smooth bittersweet finish.

Pours a chocolatey brown with a decent head. Has a nice sweet malt aroma. Taste is quite thirst-quenching and decent, but not overly complex. Update: Surprisingly, worse on tap. Much more melded and yet mediocre hop and malt character.

Tap at the restaurant. Amber/copper color, think head that dissipates quickly. No nose. More malt than hops but nothing special.
