Smells of medium roasty malt, with a hint of lemon. Color of overripe apricot. A bit thin, with grassy notes. And malt. And malt. But not sweet thicky malt. Just malt. Finishes thin, with a bit more sour than bitter. And the malt hangs in to the end. Very drinkable, but not what I’d stock up for a desert island.

I know it’s meant to be consumed during the Fall months, but I just recently got my hands on one. The aroma is malt, malt and more malt. It also has a sweet grassyness to it which I found appealing. Appearance is like a burnt orange/bronze hue with a nice off-white heat. Mouthfeel was nice and smooth. Flavor was huge in the malt department with a nice bite on the end that lets you know you are drinking a beer. I found the drinkability of this beer to be outstanding and quite, quite good. If I find this again, I will buy in a heartbeat.

Pours a dark amber color. Aromas of caramel malts and a touch of hops. Flavor is nice and malty with a subtle hop finish.

Draft. Dark amber color. Aromas were malty, as were the flavors. A little roastiness, but overall, nothing that will standout in my memory.

Another great seasonal from Pyramid. The palate is smooth and robust. I drink it like water after I mow the lawn for the last time in October... It is sometime on tap at the brewery across from Safeco field in Seattle. Great to pound a few back on a Saturday afternoon and watch the mariners play.

10.22.04 12oz bottle. One cent colored brew with medium white head and lace. Another Pyramid brew with herbal but subdued aromas, caramel, lots of malty caramel. Flavors follow suit and add a touch of Becks-ish hoppiness, sort of green pepper grassy and dandelion. It’s been on sale so I’m lapping it up.

(Draft) Slightly darker amber small head. Malt some spice and a bit of alcohol aroma. Spice and malt in the flavor, a bit of an unusual flavor playing in there. Highly carbonated. Light on the hops and could use some more. Not to bad but could get better.
