Sep 25, 2005 Dark amber body with decent head. Aroma and flavor were both of a mild licorice. Hops blended in near the finish. Smooth on the palate, decent beer.

Sep 22, 2005 Poured reddish amber with a nice tan head. Very nice head retention. Smell had cranberry, brown sugar, berry and caramel. Caramel and courant are effective in the taste. A bit unbalanced at times but tasty. Solid brew but I have had better Amber Ales.

Aug 15, 2005 Decent creamy white head of very fine bubbles. Good carbonation. Interesting aroma. Malty, with soy and some toffee. Color is a dark amber. Medium bodied. Slick mouthfeel. Some more malts and a slight earthy sourness. Not much roastyness. Finish is oily and slightly sour. Eh, ok I guess.

Jul 13, 2005 A coppery color with a strong head. Very earthy with a punch of hops that is still very balanced. Not too exceptional, but I didn’t mind trying it and seeing what it had.

Jul 10, 2005 Red dirt look to it. Nice. Off-putting aroma. Hope it gets better. It does! But it’s strangely indescribable. A mix of fresh wildernessy flavors. Maybe clover, maybe flowers, maybe running naked through the forest and letting the spirit of the nymphs take you over... wait, no, I’m going too far on that one.

Jul 5, 2005 Batch 1652 Bottle (12/01/04): Toffee and sweet caramel malt flavors over a rather watery palate; a little spicy and dry finish; not overly impressive.

Jul 2, 2005 Had this at a ski resort about 7 months ago. All I can really remember is that this was worse than Sam Adams and finished sweet. Average.

Jun 22, 2005 11/24/04 bottle consumed 6/16/2005. Ruby and orange, slight copper and rust tones. Off-white head recedes to ring, little to no lacing, mostly clear. Smells of fruity hops, cherries, apples, oranges. Definite alcohol as well, which is rather unwelcome. Minty hops notes and cherry fruit notes go side-by-side with the alcohol. Flavor is cherries, oranges, caramel malt, orange hard candies and alcohol. Some spearmint, perhaps. Good malt sweetness, lightly sugary. Mouthfeel is easygoing and the carbonation does not make itself known (not that it’s flat, it just stays out of the way). Lightly bitter and just way too much alcohol apparency. Retronasal is cherries, strawberries, plums. Good caramel malt on end, very fresh and well-extracted. Caramelly, sugary, chewy mouthfeel. Medium body. If it just wasn’t for the alcohol. . . .perhaps a bit too sweet overall, too.
