Feb 21, 2005 Updated: Jan 14, 2008This beer started off good with a nice mahogahny color and off white head. The aroma was interesting, malty, caramel and roasted, without any hops or minerals, and then a slight woody barrel like aroma. The flavor was okay, some bitterness, nice malt flavor and then that wood-like flavor with some astringency. I asked the server about barrel aging and he said that none of the beers were barrel aged. The body was fine, but overall the wood flavor which got stronger, detracted from the overall experience.

Feb 29, 2004 Has the same phenholic quality to it that the light did - probably sitting in the keg for too long. Copper color, decent head. Has a bit of a caramel flavor. Overall, decent.

Jan 3, 2004 Crystal clear, golden ale. Fizzy white head. Very malty aroma with notes of caramel and butterscotch. Perfectly balanced, the flavor mirrors the aroma with some additional buttery and grassy notes. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, grassy finish.
The flavor is malty sweet up front; well-bittered and tart on the backside. Light-bodied and thin. Lightly oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Crisp, clean, refreshing finish.

Dec 19, 2003 Draft at RCBC in Jacksonville. This beer's appearance was that of a small sized light brown head with fine-large sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was uncarbonated and transparent with an orange hue. The nose was lightly hoppy and malty with a light hoppy taste to it. The mouthfeel was smooth and this is a light bodied beer with fair amounts of lacing. Not a beer that I was impressed with.

Dec 16, 2003 TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 37. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Jacksonville Florida. This brew poured a medium sized head of off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent orange brown colored uncarbonated body. It had a mild hop skunky red malt aroma and a smooth slightly tingly mouthfeel. The flavor was an typical malt hop type.
