Fresh, toasted buttery citrus-grain aroma. Smells like a piece of breakfast toast with jam. Good cap, fair label, murky orange-brown, big head. Over carbonated. Good sweet toasted caramel flavor, medium light bittering. Finishes sweet and with an English PA character. Not bad, but too fizzy.

Pours a dark amber with tan head. Aroma of malt and spice. Flavor matches aroma and is fairly well-balanced. Could use a little more spice or hops to thicken it up, but not bad at all.

Clear ruby orange colored body with moderately thick white lacing clinging to the sides of the glass. Sharp malt nose, coarse burnt hops smelled as well, and a scent that almost resembles some sherry or amaretto, only with a bit of a burnt quality. Medium to light body, slick up front and a bit chewy, then more coarse on the back. Centers mostly around a burnt cereal grain flavor with outside hints of bran and oranges. Finishes a bit watery and plain.

A reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. A murkey grainy malt with gravy notes (???). In mouth, rather unpleasant rye malt, raw mash and butter. Not very good. 11th Annual CNY Brewfest, Feb.5 2007.

The color was a deep golden/orange with red hues. The head was white, fizzy, and thin. The aroma was citrisy and a little hoppy. The flavor was tangy and slightly bitter. The palate was smooth and nicely carbonated. The finish was warm.

Pours a dark copper with a medium head (poured aggressively). The aroma is sweet, mostly sweet malt and hop. The flavor is sweet too, not bad. Light hop bite. The palate has some bubbly carbonation.

12oz bottle- A light amber body with a nice off white head and it has an aroma of malt with a little hops. Taste of malt with some hops thrown in. Not a bad amber but a little hoppier than others which is not a bad thing.
