650ml brown bottle. An hazy orangey brown coloured beer with a thin but creamy head. Aroma is fairly straightforward caramel malt. Flavour is also of caramel malt, finishes with some leafy hops. Light bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. Drinkable, decent amber ale.

An amber ale with a good malt flavor and an unfortunate tinny undertone. The beer pours an alright color for an amber. The head puffs up quickly but dissipates very quickly. The smell is sweet with malt, but a tinny note rears its ugly head. The flavor is similar with an overly sweet maltiness. Hops are present in flavor and taste but rather anemic ultimately, and the sweet malt drowns them out largely for the tongue. The feel is better than it was for Pyramid Apricot Ale, my only other stab at Pyramid that I wrote notes for. The carbonation is still not quite right, but not bad either. It is fairly drinkable and would be even more so if not for the tinniness.

pours an amber-copper colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is dusty malt, light fruit, wheat cracker tones. Thin and flatish palate, biscuity malt and semi-sweet malt body.

Clear, light copper color pour with a thin tan head. Light aroma of toasted grain, sweet malt and hops. Slightly sweet flavor of malt and light fruit, followed by a mild hoppy finish. Not bad to enjoy once a year.

Thin light brown head on copper. Soft caramel aroma. Hint of vanilla and a trace of tin. A drinkable autumn beer. Amped up amber or lite winter warmer. Malty, a touch of spiciness. A tinge of metallic. Vanilla notes are not overdone. Light caramel toffee with a nice dose of hops.

On tap @ Oakland Airport poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, citrus and a hint of earthiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel and fruittiness with a crisp lightly sweet finish.
