Sparkling clear amber ale with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head. Very good retention and decent lacing. The aroma is malty with lots of caramel and toffee. Light citrus notes. The flavor is very well-balanced, but a bit thin. Hopped very nicely. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, very dry, then bitter finish. Leaves the mouth feeling parched.

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.

Deep copper body with a rocky ecru head, this has a rich malt aroma, slightly nutty, and earthy hops - with a touch of the floral. The flavor is a light caramel malt with a Brazil nut bitterness to balance it out. The finish is abrupt, a slight smacking of hop bitterness, then it’s over. Decent enough.

Bottled 10/29/03, Batch #1444. Dark orange/amber color with a smaller dark cream colored head. Caramel malt and earthy licorice root aromas. I'm not not a licorice fan so my aroma score may be skewed a touch downward. Interesting flavors. I'm having a hard time pining the flavors down. It reminds me of something... Actually this reminds me of honey roasted peanuts. Yep! certainly honey roasted peanut. Rose floral hops fill in the finish. Different, definately different.
