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.

Amber pour with a creamy white head and lace. A medium funk aroma, herbal, almost like bad fruit. Medium caramel malt followed by a very light bitter. A tad thin but carbonation was decent.

New AZ flag bottle cap. Used to be a regular in my lineup. Now, I must move on. Definitely a beer my non-craft brew drinkin’ friends would enjoy but there are some things missing here: aroma and flavor. Descriptors like: faint, slight, minimal, light, and weak come to mind. This is a "clean" "drinkable" amber but has nothing interesting to bring to the table.

(bottle from Sparky27) Pours dark amber with a really large off-white head that sticks around. The aroma is unlike any amber I’ve had before, and it smells like it may be infected. There’s plenty of green apple, a touch of vanilla, and really not much else. So much apple that it smells artificial, like one of those green apple Jolly Ranchers. These scents carry on into the flavor, with some apple that isn’t as tart as the aroma would indicate. There’s also a touch of caramel and a light graininess on the finish, but this is about it. Almost tastes like a poor man’s New Glarus Apple Ale. Mouthfeel is thin with heavy carbonation. Thanks Eric!

This one fails to inspire. Seriously, I have no idea what to write here. I am wearing a blue shirt.

12 oz bottle-pours an off white head and hazy gold/orange color. Aroma is herbal, funky fruit. Taste is funky fruit-apricot, osme herbal, light/medium malt-caramel. Not sure what the objective was but… Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

Bottle thanks to Sparky27. Hazy dirty orange with a finger of off white head. Aroma is caramel, crystal malt, light pine hops. Taste is an unsettling strange crystal malt sweetness, some more pine needle hops.

Bouteille brune, 12onces, achetée à Phœnix. Roux clair, mousse qui disparaît rapidement, arômes presque imperceptibles, malt/caramel très discret, en bouche, épaisseur moyenne, saveurs similaires au nez. Moyennement sucrée, peu d’amertume. Agréable en accompagnement d’une lasagne.

i got the fresh batch with the fancy arizona flag on the caps!

pours clear and a slightly orange shade of amber with a fluffy white head. very dry earthy aroma of caramel malt, faint pine (not resinous), grapefruit and orange. the flavor is quite the same... flowers, a little bit of spice and hoppy dryness on the finish. the medium body is quite dry and clean. the carbonation level is palate cleansing.

well made, sessionable and safe. i look forward to tasting this from the taps! 6/3/6/3/14/3.2
