12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark amber/copper color with minimal head. Flavor: Very malty, with little hops. This one is so-so.

Ugh...this is an awful amber ale. Pour was a flat dark red/amber with no head. The color is amazing but the flatness and the lack of head/bubbles makes it boring. Aroma was rotting vegetables. Taste was very malty but that vegetative aspect overpowers everything. Decent carbonation, but the rotting flavor/aroma bring it down. Blah.

12oz bottle. Deep orange with red tinges, small off white head. Sweet malt, earthen herbal hops, and a buttery note in the aroma. Slight alefruit and caramel malt flavors, with lingering diacetyl. Somewhat coarse herbaceous hop character then manifests. Hop flavors devolve into a medicinal twang in the finish, accompanied by appley malt. Mouthfeel is a light medium.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours copper with 1-finger frothy white head. Nose is caramel malt, fruit, hops, and some vinyl notes. Tastes caramel malty, with vinous fruit, slight yeast, spicy nutmeggy notes. This one reminds me of a Christmas ale with the spices and malt profile, which overtake the hops.

Pours with a quick settling head. Smells of sweet malt. Nice clear amber color. Taste is malt and slight citrus, just enough hops for balance. A very nice brew for the fall season.

Light malty/bocky nose, bready nose & flavor, not exactly bold or assertive, just an above-average outing that manages to keep one’s attention.

Amber colored brew with a nice caramel malt nose with a touch of floral/citrus hops. Smooth and sweet initially followed by a soft floral/citrus blast. The malt is smooth and nice. The hops are simply there for balance.

12oz bottle: pours amber brown with decent off white head, aroma is slightly hoppy along with some malt back bone, slightly watered down but a pretty good simple drinker.
