Bright amber. Hardly any aroma - vague caramel is about it. Nice, balanced flavour. It’s juicy with citrusy, slightly woody hops. The malts are earthy and caramelly. It’s got a nice caramel finish.

on tap-pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is faint funky, yeast. Taste is initial malt overtaken by bitter hops. OK beer. OK carbonation. Had these (this one and others) at the brewery, something amiss. 2.9-.3 aroma. 2.6

Draft... Clear light amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Spicy, herbal hops and caramel nose. The flavor is moderately sweet caramel and medium bitter hops. Full-bodied and creamy with restrained carbonation. Moderately bitter, herbal, dry finish.

Draft sample at the brewpub. Poured clear brown color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate caramel malty aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with an average smooth bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a translucent golden amber with a smaller cream/lacing off white head. Aroma of caramel, some sweet malts, fresh hops, toffee and butterscotch. Flavor was a mix of the same, nice and dry, hoppy and flavorful.

On tap at the Cricketeer’s Arms in The Mercado. This was served like a real ale! Proper temperature and pulled from a hand engine. I could not find out if it was indeed cask conditioned. Pricey for a pint in Orlando at $5.50. Pours a golden orange with a slight chill haze. Low in carbonation, nearly flat (as it should be). Delicious hop flavor and aroma. Smooth palate and drinks quick. This is a titan in a beer wasteland. Abandon your rugrats with the Mouse and spend your vacation here guzzling this gem.

GABF 2008. Light amber brown. I’m no hop professor, but I’m not detecting the usual earthy/dried-leaves Fuggleness I’d expect. The hops are here in good balance with the caramel malt, but there is a spicy herbal quality to them that is intriguing. My only criticism is that the beer is quite thin, almost watery.
