Apr 14, 2005 Bottle... Clear, amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Terrific retention. The aroma is citrusy and floral with small notes of wet leather and black pepper. The flavor is well-balanced with a nice hop bite. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Crisp, mildly bitter finish. Refreshing.

Red amber, no head. Pretty neutral and boring taste.

Oct 28, 2004 Crystal clear amber colour with a super thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, nice bright hops, malt and some raisins-nice! Light-bodied; Sharp hop flavour up front with subtle malt and a light sweetness of caramel. Really, nothing in the aftertaste but a little cardboard maltiness. Overall, not the worst-but exactly what you’d expect from an amber! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 28-August-2004 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Aug 6, 2005 Updated: Dec 12, 2008[bottle - 12 oz] Dark amber color with a creamy looking white head. Very floral and hoppy aroma with hints of grass, coriander and some citrus. The taste was slightly less hoppy than I would’ve expected from an amber ale. Nicely balanced between the hops and malt, with a decent little hop kick at the end. Very good session beer.

Aug 11, 2004 Not particularly amber, pours to a more traditional IPA-esque vaguely hazy copper. Nose is hoppy, not too many malts. Flavor has some hops but not too much of a malt backbone.

Oct 3, 2007 Draft, Savannah and Charlotte airport restaurant locations. Clear, shiny copper-orange with a medium-sized and lasting head. Slight aroma of spicy caramel. Flavors of toasted nut and peppery spicy caramel. Great balance. Light-medium bodied and smooth with a dry tingle on the finish.

Mar 17, 2008 Draft at the Baltimore Airport location. Pours a translucent copper amber with an off white head. Faint aroma of aroma hops and crystal malt. Mouthfeel had somewhat of a commercial vibe to it. Flavor of caramel balanced by some spicy hops with a some subtle citrus undertones. Finish is bitter and semi dry, but had some astringency that I did not care for. Worth a try, but not mind blowing. Decent for an Amber and it does pair well with their food.

Oct 25, 2009 Draft. Pours gold with a thin head. Sweet malt aroma with herbal and floral hops. Balanced flavor with sweet malt and a solid floral hoppy finish. Decent.
