Feb 7, 2006 (02.04.06) On tap at Philips Flagship seafood restaurant, Washington, D.C. This is a house ale brewed for Philips by Clipper City. Clear copper hued ale having an average sized white head with good lacing. Good carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts dry with tiny malt sweetness and light hop flavor. Finishes dry with light lingering hop bitterness and pleasant corn aftertaste. Clean and refreshing. Goes well with seafood. An excellent amber ale, one of my favorite beers to enjoy with food.

Sep 12, 2004 On tap at Phillips Harborplace in Baltimore. Pours a clear ruby amber with an off-white head. Taste is of caramel, butterscotch with a great hoppy and bitter finish. Moderately sweet. Mouthfeel is very full, round and creamy. Great lacing and head retention. Similar to SNPA. Contrary to other ratings, I happened to have a very good batch this time around. Nothing original, but a damn good, hoppy amber ale.

Jan 18, 2007 On draft in a tall pilsener glass at the Phillips Famous Seafood restaurant in the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, Concourse C.
Pours a pale amber with a billowing ivory head. Smells of lightly sour, biscuity pale malt. No hops to be detected.
Taste is also far more malt than hops. Biscuity, lightly caramel tasting malt. that is not to say this is a bold, big beer by any means. Mouth is on the thin side with just a bit of wateriness in the finish. Lightly crisp and an easy drinker. Tasty enough and great with a crabcake!

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.

Dec 30, 2007 Tap at Phillips Atlantic City. Pours out a nice copper color with small remnants of a white head. Aroma of some citrus hops and caramel. Taste is a nice balance of dry citrus hops and caramel, went very well with their crab cake, which in an aside I believe to be simply the best.

Jun 5, 2003 Better than expected. Something of a poor man's North Coast Red Seal. Lots of PNW hops exhibiting lots of citrus and general fruit. Flavor does have a tendency to dissapate a bit at mid-pint. Excellent clarity and nice lacing. Not bad.

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.
