JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Oct 12, 2009 Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Cloudy orange in color with a medium off-white head. Creamy caramel aroma with hints of toffee and yeast. Creamy caramel flavor that is almost milky with a bitter hop finish. CitizenZ (18), Kansas, USA Sep 29, 2009 Slightly cloudy light amber pour into my pub glass didn’t produce any head and minimal lacing. Smells reiminiscent of apricots, sweet a rather nice bouquet. First impression is a light zingy carbonation, and a pretty dominant hop flavor that is just chewy enough to avoild being a light bodied beer. As other have said, a hint of something pepper-y but not a bad complexity. Good for two or three beers, might wear a little bit if I had more. bhensonb (4187), Woodland, California, USA Sep 23, 2009 Yet another bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks again man! Pours rather copper with very little off-white head. Aroma of light roast caramel and light citrus - with something like pepper. Medium body with creamy/frothy carbonation. There’s a good dose of lighter stone fruit flavors, followed by caramel, with some hot bits towards the end. A good amber. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 19, 2009 Six pack. Aroma is some caramel and nuts. Tastes like nuts, malts, and just a little hops. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 10, 2009 Amber pour with small white head. Nice and carmelly nutty with a fair dose of hop flavor and bitterness. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 13, 2009 Draft at Fox and Hound, College Station. Amber with a small lasting head. Aroma is caramel and wood. Taste is similar with some grassy notes and light apple. Light-medium body is tingly and semi-dry. oreogobbler (217), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 1, 2009 Light Golden color. Thick white froth for a head.
Smells of malt and hops. Not a very strong aroma, I get little hints of bread/wheat and maybe some carmel.
The beer is a little off balance. Malty, bitter, creamy, buttery. It’s just not put together right.
The palate is off. I’m not sure I’ll be having another one of these. dalek123 (103), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 13, 2009 Updated: Jul 14, 2009Pours orange with a fizzy white , fast diminishing head. Nose is malt and bisquit. Taste is sweet, with notes of malt and caramel balanced with mild hop bitterness. Good stuff.
