A creamy head which lasts on a dark amber ale. Smooth and well balanced without being over hopped. Senseable in flavor and finish. Absolutly delicious.

Reddish brown with a medium off-white head. Nice lacing. Malty and hoppy aroma, almost even has rasperry odor. This is a nice beer. Festive and warming, it has good malt flavors that are well balanced with a nice hoppy bitter finish. Grapefruit and pine in aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Reddish gold, thin head. Herbal sugar cookie nose - tea, toasty malt. Flavor has some caramel or maple, herbal hops, tangy fruit. Some alcohol in the finish. Nice!

Scarlet red in colour, smooth palate. Detected some sweet fruit flavors, but was unable to pinpoint them - apricot maybe? Overall a very nice beer.

Very hoppy aroma with strong malt also-surprisingly creamy, thick bodied malt flavor with a nice lingering hop bitterness-very solid, well rounded ale-found it for 5.99/6pk -definitely a good deal

Sweet fruity nose. Caramel and burnt sugar. Hint of maple. Good malt character with fruity sweet hops. Medium amber clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium bodied with smooth medium carbonation. Starts sweet with caramel and toasted sugar. Fruity notes throughout with citrus oily hops bitter finish. Smoooth pale ale, this is. Great bitter but not harsh, and the finish is a bit watery. Dry bitter after.

Deep amber, average head and lace. Nice malty nose with hints of caramel, fruit and spicy hops. Almost medium bodied, soft feel, lots of tasty malt with nuances of caramel, smooth, the perfect amount of spicy (maybe a real spice), bitter and citrusy hopping to make for excellent balance. Dryish finish, touch of yeast. Ambers arent the most exciting but this is tasty, could drink many in a night i think. Could be a smidge thicker but this is worth a shot.
