(12oz bottle) Clear copper body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, light nutty, orange. Taste is mild sweet, caramel, earthy, some nutty. Light-medium body. Pretty non-descript.

Pours a clear copper orange with an inch-thick, frothy off-white head. Sweet, lightly toasted crystal malty aroma has some mild earthy hop balance. Body has a good sugary caramel malty sweetness and some hoppy flavor toward a bittersweet, well-balanced finish. A very drinkable and good amber. I didn’t detect any diacetyl, but my bottle was from 2005.

12oz botttle. Opened to a loud psst and was a light gusher. Poured a medium orange color with a very large sized off white head. Aromas of toasted nuts, light caramel, and some citrus. Tastes follow. As expected the body was over carbonated and thin.

Pours clean with a white head. Smells like all other amber ales from the MA/VT area. Taste is malty with some mellow caramel hints.
