Amber colour, no head. Caramel nose. Light, soft beer with a vague caramel accent. Standard stuff.

on tap-pours a white ring for a head and copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel. Taste is some sweet medium malt-caramel, some peat, earthy/copper hops.

Draft at Ragtime Tavern. Color was a reddish amber with medium frothy head. Aroma was complex hops with a tone of citrus. The flavor and finish was not a strong as the aroma and the finish was small and short. Solid drinkable ale.

On tap at the Ragtime brewpub. Pours deep copper to brown with white head. The aroma has notes of crystal malts, roasted malts and a faint caramel sensation. The taste is modestly roasty with maybe crystal malts mixing with a dash of highly roasted maltiness. By midway a thin layer of vague hoppiness helps take this to the finish.

Clear copper. Not pulling much aroma except caramel. High carbonation. Nice flavors include decent level of caramel malt. Clean finish that is a little too sweet and too carbonated but at 4% makes a good, sessionable choice.

Light malt aroma with a low citrus hop presence. Dark amber/brown in color with a tan head. Biscuit accented malt fore with a decent hop bitterness. Toasty and bready it comes off more as an English pale Ale then an amber ale.

Tap @ brewpub. pours clear copper, thin white head. Aroma, light malt, some spices and pine hops. Flavor, fruity, light malts, some roasted and caramel elements. Bitter spicy hops with a thin watery finish.
